@kyleforrester87 I recently got into making actual cocktails with a shaker and loads of mad ingredients and it was a delight. Just lived on cocktails for like a week. Apparently it's beer night tonight. I don't know why, but I guess I'm stopping off on the way home for beers.
@kyleforrester87 We just had a Mowgli open in Glasgow and I ordered the Masala Espresso Martini. It was proper lovely with the coffee and the hint of spice but it did also taste a bit like paint thinner, it was brutally strong. I also forgot about the whole ‘don’t drink while on medication’ thing and spent the rest of the day zonked out.
I’m cycling this route over a couple of days in July! 230 miles of dirt track and grass, going to get my knobbly tyres on my gravel bike and hopefully have a blast. I am not sure what it’ll be like versus road cycling in terms of time and comfort. Fingers crossed for hot weather.
Enjoy reading great books of any genre-anything that makes you forget the rest of the world is going on because you're having so much fun. Strange enough, I was buying the Ghost of Tsushima for my friend's birthday and ended up having a random conversation with a guy who ended up telling me about Make Out Bars by J. Zaraiyah.
@RogerRoger It’s less the individual incident which disgusts me and more just how indicative it is of the wider culture that’s so prevalent online. I don’t play games online often and honestly that’s why. I really should just make my account private to stop randoms hurling slurs but it feels like I’d be letting them win. While I’m glad PlayStation told me that they’ve found that it breached their rules, telling me that they’ve taken ‘appropriate action’ doesn’t actually say what that is. In my opinion, sending something so unforgivably horrible straight off the bat as a first message in a chat, filled with targeted hate speech should be a banning offence. But I’ll never know. So they could have had a slap on the wrist and that’s it.
@lolwhatno My son had exactly this same problem in that he couldn't just not smile. He looked like some kind of demonic child that would probably kill you in your sleep. I was scared anyway. In the end we selected the best of a bad bunch and that's now going to live with him for the next 5 years 🤣
@lolwhatno
I have to have my photo done for work ID card and it ends up with all other staff looking happy and me with serious im gonna murder someone look, if I try to put on a smile it just looks overly forced and creepy so yeah, totally feel you there.
Weirdly I'm always laughing about stuff but rarely (never?) walk around with a smile on.
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
@lolwhatno You should definitely force yourself, it might make you feel happy just doing it. It's important to smile or have a laugh everyday. Life is too serious otherwise!
@sorteddan Where I used to work we had ID cards and you'd have to show it on the way in through the security gate. They'd take a brief look at you to decide if you were the person depicted on the card, that is unless you were riding a motorbike with a helmet on and in which case they'd let you in without even seeing your face.
