this sounds like an episode of Seinfeld where George gets a job as a french translator (but doesn’t speak french). That basically writes itself.

just had some rice pudding. been making rice pudding a lot lately because it takes about 1 minute to prepare and put in the oven but feels like i’ve gone to the effort of making myself something for pudding.

feeling quite bored this evening.

I’ve felt awful today. My workload is ridiculous, I keep sweating (despite it being cold today) - had to have my fan on like some kind of lunatic. Urgh.

Quite.

It’s super frustrating though because Norwegian and Danish are actually pretty similar written down, but the spelling and grammar is just different enough that I can’t tell what the hell is going on most of the time. And I’m especially not in any place to be correcting stuff or moving words around or anything.

George se fâche!!!

Oh Chris Packham is on?? Damn, I missed it.

Played in a load of chalk dust with Jnr today then realised I was so thirsty owing to the amount of dust in my lungs and so we scarpered. Walked through the new exhibition at the Whitworth which involved two people kind of dancing about whilst you looked at stuff and performance art like that makes me feel weird. DON’T MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH THE DANCERS.

Went for a cider then came home to cook for my neighbour who, it has transpired recently, is actually freakin’ loaded and I’m using my measly £300 per month to cook for her twice a week under the assumption she’s got no money either, so I’ve been a bit angry about it to be honest after scrabbling around under my bed for some coins yesterday morning. Of course…I haven’t bothered to say anything and I will continue to cook for her forever.

stressed out about performance review stuff in work, just know I’m gonna have a shit sleep :skull:

I almost @'d you but thought you’d be all over it. Fuck those spiders for real though.

I don’t have live TV as my aerial doesn’t work so I only tend to see whatever pops up in iPlayer.

I had a really successful day at work and then scored some goals at football.

Ate a Thai curry and now I’m watching The Magnificent 7.

I’m on strike again tomorrow but there seems to be movement so hopefully that’ll be the last time.

I worked with a danish guy once, he was great, therefore I’m sure all danish people are great. We love you Denmark!

Keith, your life is awesome

Will do ma man, always odd bumping into an ex.
It’s weird, you were so involved with one another and now you have this bizarre relationship where you kinda speak to each other and tip toe around your own history.
Maybe I’m overthinking, might stick girl band on :+1:

I don’t mind the Danish people, just their language

Never heard it, in my mind it’s cool and scary at the same time though.

It’s weird though Like you look at Spanish and Portuguese and there’s blatantly enough there that’s very similar it must seem very odd if you speak either. Always wondered what that’s like but I can barely speak English so whatever.

want to start a shadow of the beast covers band

Fuck that sounds really menacing and atmospheric!
