There's a special place in hell for people that leave the office microwave on the defrost setting.

#football #soccer Off to watch #BHAFC play AVFC in Haribo Cup tonight. Most Albion fans seem pretty meh about this match but at least it's at home.

It's morning but it's too early to tell if it's good. Once my blood has warmed up I'll report back.

Thinking about it I suppose it is an almost perfect example of Sayle's humour: a stereotype taken to absurd extremes and some surrealness.

Happy Friday dearest Fedizens. May your coffee be strong and your working day short.

"I was laughing, my mate was laughing, bleeding funny." For some reason this Alexei Sayle sketch has always stuck in my head.
