this guy sounds amazing

New one for this morning. I walk in to work most days and grab coffee on the way. I was pretty early today. Stood in the October sunshine spacing out listening to a bit of music.

Eddie's Ford Focus appears in the car park.

I can hear his car stereo over the Fugazi album that I'm listening to. It's unmistakably 1980s Willie Nelson. It is fucking blaring through closed windows.

#So pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home#

He pulls up alongside me. Window rolls down. Jesus Christ... the volume is something else. This would give Sunn O))) with the full rig a run for their money.

#The singer ain't singin' and the drummer's been draggin' too long#

"ALRIGHT STOUT?"

"Alright, Ed?"

"HAH?"

"ALRIGHT, ED?!"

#Well, I'm wild and I'm mean, I'm creatin' a scene, I'm goin' crazy#

"WHAT'S THE STORY WITH THE TUNES, ED?"

"YEAH"

"THE TUNES! I SAID WHY ARE THE TU...."

"WILLIE NELSON"

#I'm quiet and I'm loud, I'm gatherin' a crowd#

"WHY IS IT SO LOUD?"

"FORGOT TO CHARGE MY HEARING AIDS EARLIER".

#Yeah, pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home#

Having made a tasty looking sandwich for your work lunch at 0630hrs only to discover, as you're wrapping it up, that the fresh bread that you bought yesterday is already mouldy.

The missus came down the stairs to witness me trying to shimmy the sandwich fillings into a tortilla wrap whilst muttering "Fucking cunt of a baker" to myself.

Always check the date lad.

Always check the date lad.

I bought it a bakery yesterday.

Go back in this afternoon and bounce it off their heads.

I felt like going full Frank Costanza earlier alright.

[Giggles]

Surely the bread can't have been that mouldy, if you didn't notice it until the wrapping process? Just pick the mould bits and you're graaaand.

Being the jakey cunt that I am, I would also just pick off the mouldy bits and go with it. Might still bring the rest of the loaf back though for a fresh one.

Fuckin rain.

Fuckin rain.

Great for the mushies though. 

[Carnage]

Lost a pile of weight over and after last christmas, which is great but over the course of the lockdown, I've piled most of it back on again. Ideally I'd head out walking now but because of the

Fuckin rain.

it's a no for now.

Cork City flooded again - ton of businesses swamped by floodrain - great, that'll make lockdown even better for them. Storm/flood barriers are sorely needed here.

I hear you. Back in 2013 I was 16 stone but after a bit of changes got myself down to 12 stone. Nowadays I think I'm over the 14 and see it all slipping back.

Didn't most of the residents object to flood controls?

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS BAD WEATHER, JUST BAD CLOTHES.
