Finished the jigsaw motherfuckers (though not yet solved the murder mystery that goes with it - haven't looked at that yet - solving murders is boring, jigsaws are what I am into). Started another one. You can't stop me.
I might stop myself.
1500 pieces piled on the table looked a bit like hard work. And I can already see the picture for this one, so what's the point?
I have one of the Rosetta Stone upstairs, but think that might be too hard work.
Hope you're enjoying the jigsaw content. It's going to be all jigsaws from here on in.
I watched a man playing snooker against another man today, but he managed to make it proper self playing snooker by not letting the other man up and potting all the balls. Though potting all the balls in one go is certainly not in the spirit of self-playing snooker.
It struck me how boring it is to watch a sport where you pretty much know that the person playing is very likely to succeed. Where's the jeopardy in that? Oh look he's potted another ball. Well done. When I play snooker you have no idea if a ball will go in at all, or if another one might go in. That's a spectator sport.
The best thing about two player snooker is when one person in the audience applauds a shot that isn't good enough for applause. No one else joins in to make them feel better. They just do a clap and then are forced to do a few claps on their own, before they realise they have misunderstood snooker and applauded something that is just OK, not applause worthy and are shunned by the proper snooker fans for alway.
The irony is that all of those supporters are wrong, for watching a two player game on a comically oversized board, rather than the proper one player version. All their applause is invalid.
Richy Sunak said that voting for Labour would put us back to square one. Nice of him to concede so soon. I can't wait to get back to square one. Even if square one is falling apart due to cuts and covered in the piss and shit of drunken Etonians, it will be nice to get back there and start the journey back to repairing the country. I hope Labour will make "Back to Square One" their election slogan.
I am starting the booking process for this year's RHLSTPs and have already secured one great guest of the 12th Feb Leic Sq Theatre gig (which is obviously all I need as it's one guest a week) - badgers and plussers should have an email (or check your secret areas). All will be revealed tomorrow, along hopefully with some more names. Still some £18.50 tickets left if you're quick (and only a few for 5th Feb with Armando Iannucci)
Book for LST here.
Coincidentally (what can that mean?) a really fun retro RHLSTP with the Off Menu twits is up wherever you get your podcasts https://play.acast.com/s/rhlstp/retro-rhlstp-68-off-menu
