that's better than the sign in a camping shop in Manchester that was having a sale: "This is the age of discount tent"
Surely it should be... in fact you or they got almost every word in that quote wrong except discount

Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of York

Now is the winter of our discount tents would work and I'd like to think if they went far enough to make the effort of that pun they'd get it right.

Booted the pc up after a long weekend

Somehow, miraculously, it updated to windows 11 all by itself while remaining switched off the entire time and now the sound card isn’t recognised

Love you, children, but wtf

this poster has popped up all over walls in the more student infested areas of Manchester

I wasn't going to scan the QR code in case it really was revenge pr0n, so I ran it through a QR decoder script and it just leads to a "what's your side hustle" promotion on a part time job site aimed at, you guessed it, students

you have to be careful with QR codes in Manchester - a lot of the car parks have a QR code to pay and intelligent criminals have been sticking over them with their own code which will direct the unwary to a "clear your bank account out" fake payment site

I was wondering why they chose the name "Emily"

turns out that about 20 years ago it was in the top three most popular names for girls in the UK and USA - it's dropped to 46 in the UK this year

speaking of children's names...

I didn't notice this but a mate alerted me to this story:

Boy with Star Wars-inspired name is refused passport for bizarre reason

Parents Christian Mowbray and his wife Becky were denied a passport for their son Loki Skywalker owing to his middle name, and were told to get permission from Disney

of course I couldn't resist telling him about Luke Skyywalker of 2-Live crew and how he had to change his stage name to "Uncle Luke" which my mate said "sounds wrong" and considering the lyrical content of the 2-Live crew I could not argue especially considering the theme of their biggest hit



Me So Horny

who wants to be "Uncle Luke' let alone be the "bad uncle"

advertisements for the german army in public space; everywhere, from bus stops, to trams and walls. i've started noticing them since the war in ukraine but the last few months has seen loads of them. the current one is looking like a cool video game or hollywood movie.

a sign of things to come...
