I’m playing a FPS game and it said “You have been assigned to the Latvian Empire based on skill.” I’m pretty sure the Latvians never had such a thing. I think I might be bad at this game :(

I definitely don’t have some sort of attention deficit disorder. I just skip the last four seconds of silence at the end of every song and have to scroll through Twitter for the ten seconds I’m urinating. Totally normal.

Some people are connoisseurs of fine wine. Others are connoisseurs of luxury watches. Myself? I’m a connoisseur of frozen pizzas that can be purchased in British supermarkets for less than £2.

Whenever I click on a trending topic on Twitter do you know what they show me? Tweets talking about the fact that the topic is trending, often with a reaction GIF attached. This is not very useful.

I’m really going to work on my drinking in 2021. I’m not lowering my intake or anything (perish the thought). I’m just going to stop swilling the booze around so much in mouth and swallow it faster. This will lower my chance of mouth cancer. #healthyAF

In the film “About A Boy” Hugh Grant says November 19th is six weeks before Christmas. It is in fact five weeks before. This has always bugged me. Happy new year everyone.

Today I discovered that Shropshire Blue cheese tastes exactly like what urinal cakes smells like and that Charles Lafitte champagne tastes a bit like piss. It’s been a very urine day for me.
