So within minutes of using @RingGo_parking to pay for parking at @ArenaNewcastle my phone number is being spammed by fake parking notice scams….

YouTube going hard on increasing the advertising levels. Desperate to sell us the ridiculously priced YouTube premium. Like make it a sensible price and I’d be signed up years ago!

Day off work building a dinosaur with the kiddo. There was some definite initiative fatigue half way through that required a trip out for lunch / to play in the park before coming back home to finish it.

RIP Sven. A real class act right to the end.

@DevJonny Yeah but if they did that - that’s just how it goes right. Be no different if it was another team. If Oscar wants the win then get on with it and catch Lando no?

@ChrisBarber86 Mclaren pitted Lando first to cover off Hamilton, this then lead to him undercutting Oscar (and a slow stop to boot). It should have been the other way around, then it would have been a fair fight for first. Yeah definitely bittersweet, but he's got that victory under his belt.

First F1 win for Oscar, but it will always be “the one that Lando let him win”. So must be a bit of a bittersweet moment. I don’t really see why they had to swap back in the first place but maybe I missed something. Lando is the only one with any vague chance to catch Max too

England - Somewhere Only We Know

Ok I think I’ve watched the Ollie Watkins goal probably at least 75 times now from just about every possible angle and I still can’t get enough of it. Hope he plays more in the final.

@GeorginaTimothy Piano version is best though.... open.spotify.com/track/4UnWxJFV…

@ChrisBarber86 Is it Barbie Girl

Anyone else get a song in their head that they like so much that they just can't shift it and just end up listening to it on repeat for days until you're over it? No? Just me?

@GeorginaTimothy Sometimes, not always.

Good night for #Auroraborealis spotting

Thank you to whoever signed up my work email to US Election Campaign emails. That was a surprise/delight.

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi… About time too.

“Microsoft Cloud Defender” - what an absolutely terrible product - let’s secure things by routing/proxying EVERYTHING through a Microsoft domain. Yeah that sounds so much more secure. 🤦🏻‍♂️😢

@IamtheHiggster Yeah good mate, hope you are as well. You’ll be disappointed to know my garden rarely comes up in conversation nowadays. 😂.

@ChrisBarber86 Hope you're well man. Miss our architect meetings and talking about the vastness of your garden 🏡

@ChrisBarber86 You acting now lad? #doppelganger

137 days later, January is almost over. Just 6 hours left. Bring on February. Now starting to realise why it’s the shortest month - to rescue us all from January!

Yes!
