But was it a good gig?

Funeral for a Friend.

They absolutely smashed it, I relived some part of my youth, and they only played songs off the first three albums — the good ones.

On the flip-side, I went to my first gig in years and caught COVID, sooooo…

That sounds like a scam mate.

Nah, I'd already verified the numbers, it's legit. They just wanted my no-claims proof. Could have just asked like any normal fucking company, though! Their online portal crap doesn't support a "being useful" feature though, so I had to email it to them. Christ.

Insurance companies. Got a scary text today, "*URGENT* To Mr Drarok, Policy ref 123456789 is in danger of being cancelled. Call us on 03441234567 with any queries." The fuck? Why do I have to call?

She basically told me in a pretty callous tone that it wasn't a real emergency unless he was inside my flat and that they didn't have enough units to respond so I'd just have to try and get rid of him myself.

Similar reasons why I've come off SSRIs – they might balance the worst bits, but they rob me of any sort of emotional peaks, be they low or high. Trudging through life in a grey, monotonous middle-ground wasn't fun, and the most-recent one I tried seemed to make me EXTREMELY ANGRY, so I sacked that ...

With only two detection zones this seems a bit nuts.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Russia is "claiming" is was Ukrainian 'copters? False flag, anyone?

My bill hasn't changed yet, but they have asked for a meter reading.

My time has come.

Yet another night race in a country with a history of violating human rights? Eurgh.

And absolutely nothing will change, regardless. No prosecutions, no jail time.

Maybe a fine, which he'll finagle away like any other money.
