A pun on poverty.

Posted April 29th, early morning.

Another 180 in a Brooklyn bar. Just before a league match. (We won 17-10. Thanks for asking.)

I'd love to hit a 180 in an actual league match this season, but I can't see it happening.

Murdering marmite

Posted April 29th, late evening.

Still watching an old season of Taskmaster. They're murdering* marmite right now. Bastards.

* By "murdering", I mean the contestants are seeking to recreate it with their own recipes. In fairness, it's a genius task. Well done that man, Alex Horne.

How to Get to Heaven from Belfast (2026)

 

It got a shit review from Roger Ebert

Posted Monday morning, April 13th.

I'd paused this movie. Not because I wasn't enjoying it. I just needed a cup of tea and a late night snack. 

And, as is my habit, I decided to throw some darts whilst waiting for the kettle to boil. The anorak in me means that I can't just throw random darts at the board. They have to mean something. So I fire up the First to 100 game against the Level 9 Bot, which is getting too used to turning into Peak Phil 'Fucking' Taylor when shooting at doubles, and I snag my highest ever outshot/checkout/two fucking fingers to the digital Phil 'Fucking' Taylor wannabe. A 167 for the Darts blockers amongst you: T20, T19, Bullseye. ('Double Cork' if you're reading this in French Lick, Indiana.)

It's the second highest checkout in darts. Only the *cough* Big Fish tops it.

Now, this is where it gets confusing. I was  . . . I am . . . convinced that my previous best was a 158 checkout (T20, T20, D19) but, at this moment in time, I can't find any record/picture of that particular outshot (mix and match, peeps). Did I just imagine it? Is it just like that (probably imaginary) 180 from 1982? Am I imagining things related to darts? Is that a silhouette of Sid Waddell at the window beckoning me to walk towards the light?

Until I find my version of the Zapruder film, we'll never know.

Local adverts for a Park Slope gym on the Pluto TV channel - still rewatching Taskmaster -  whilst I'm trying to update my 180s.

Yes, my life's that full.

Shit, these kid actors are really cringe . . .

Posted 24th May 2026 (10.34 PM). Not feeling well, and I'm roasting. Kara's half-watching Abbot Elementary.

Two 180s in seven minutes. I'm sure I was cock-a-hoop at the time. So cock-a-hoop it took me 54 days to post it on the blog.

For 10 minutes I was absolutely on fire . . .

. . . and it doesn't happen that often, so I thought I'd mention it.

 

Sorry, but the kids are really bad actors.
