Quiet night tonight then.

Back off for more binge watching in telly-box before I pass out…see you’z tomoz.

Right then …

day 2 of the office move

Bottle of peroni in the office at 4pm - flagging at that point ( it is as bad as I remember)

Home at 7pm to be greeted by the Ayatollah and a Proper Job (beer - too tired for anything else)

now most of the way through a 2011 Brunello do Montalcino - a right touch

Considering whether to continue with grape or head towards the cane.

Off to karaoke. Gonna treat them to my best Jarvis Cocker. If I still have a job Monday, it’s a win.

I know this one. Just had some more turn up today.

Finish the bottle and then the cane. A very nice evening.

Sticking to the vino tonight.

Need to be on best behaviour tomorrow so my Sunday afternoon match pass isn’t rescinded…

Couple of bottles of red tonight (first in a while) and some Game of Thrones.

Vikings

Now going real time for last leg (going to see it live on Good Friday)

Then The Expanse & maybe a cheeky Man in the high castle.

& a couple of Vikings maybe after Mrs C_S had gone to bed…

I think I was slightly pickled last night although didn’t feel it then. The rum punch was quite deceptive although the last few between 1-2am were topped up. So glad I cancelled my 10.30 gym class at 2.30am.

But could I have a lay in. Nope. Body wakes up at this awful hour I am heading back to bed.

It’s sad to see.

@krg_ , the ā€œonce-hipā€ pogonophilic Shoreditch hipster that finds himself at odds with the modern world.

His younger friends invite him out to drink, probably the best beer in the world, at, probably the hippest nightspot in the capital, and he just doesn’t get it.

He sits in the corner with clothes embarrassingly 5 weeks behind the zeitgeist, sipping a pint of liquid ambrosia, mumbling to himself ā€œthis is a shitholeā€ whilst somehow his younger friends prove they are ahead of every trend by supping their Punks, their Hardcores, their Vagabonds, their 5AM Saints, their Jack Hammers, their Dead Ponies and their Elvis Juices.

It’s like he’s lost the rule book whilst his friends have it tattooed on the washboard abs of their taut and lithe bodies.

Age-wise, he’s on the cusp between the effortlessly hip and early-onset-middle-age.

He’s lost.

He’s afraid.

He feels out of control.

So, to take back some modicum of control, he lashes out at the only other person on Sotonians with his finger on the pulse.

Yes, @saintbletch .

@krg_ , take a tip from someone who has gone through early-onset-middle-age and, like Doctor Who through a wormhole, has come out the other side effortlessly hip again…

ā€œJust roll with itā€.

Oh, and buy a flowery shirt. The ā€œchicksā€* love it.

*Bletch heads off to Google ā€œpolitically correct and hip** ways to refer to the female sexā€.

No, haven’t been to the studios on the South Bank @intiniki . Any tips?

@cobham-saint Get there early! You aren’t guaranteed entry unless you have priority tickets. Just checked some texts I had with a friend who has been too. We recommend to her to get there at 8pm for the queue as on our first attempt we got there the time they suggested and about 100 (including us) were turned away. If you get turned away you can ask to be on the priority list for another show. They give out different coloured wrist bands and then call you in according to colour. We have sat looking towards the set but also sat behind it. I think we were out at 11 as they have to do a few takes for other things. There’s a warm up guy who does the same routine each time. Hope you get in and enjoy.

Cheers @intiniki - we’re planning on turning up early - had a similar experience like you in the past!

Out with the RaleighBoy and properly spastic.

Who’s ā€œproperly spastic,ā€ is he a new Sotonians member?

Do enough posts Steve and you can guarantee enough upvotes to achieve mid-table mediocrity - not unlike a certain football team we follow…
