I signed up for a cycle to work challenge to use the bike every day in Feb. Managed 2 trips.

Im 49. I cycle for 1 hour a few mornings a week and try to walk at lunchtime, but my job is sedentary. Truth is I’m pretty overweight. I try to eat well, but I eat crap as well. I drink at the weekends. My worst vice is a couple of ciggies a week. Ok, a day. I try to vape instead, which is better for me but a ridiculous habit at my age. I will stop both.

On the up side I live rurally in Scotland and have a family I love and a job I don’t hate. I’m hoping to get healthier for a holiday in October. But I have shit will power. Onwards!

A night shower is good for sleeping, I find, but it’s not something i do often. For me, a morning shower is essential.

I’ve always had weirdly unmanageable hair, so it needs to be rinsed so it won’t go full Einstein. Plus, a shower wakes me up and helps me feel ready for the grind.

I also do this 30-second cold blast at the end that I picked up on somewhere and masochistically enjoy.

Plus, I have levo meds that need to be taken about half an hour before coffee/breakfast, so the shower and getting ready give me a sufficient time window.

Just my jeans. I have no idea why.

I use crypto to pay for my IPTV sub. It’s a pain and otherwise it’s a ponzie scheme, but fuck paying for all the streaming services. They’ve had their pound of flesh.

It depends. Take Morrissey, for example. Do I have to hate the smiths because he’s developed some political views I disagree with? I’d argue no.

But then I’d also be suspicious of anyone enthusing about Hitler’s water colours…

Cocaine then a sub to check out Titanic. Pretty standard, really.

Mandatory week off with no pay. Bummer. Pretty sure that’s illegal in my country.

Yikes! I nearly married a gal with Borderline Personality Disorder. Absolutely insane. So glad my wife is normal.

It’s like the Simpsons clip, ‘brought to you by the oil companies of the US’, where they intentionally rip on EVs. The number of idiots who miss the satire is staggering.

That’s quite a refreshing perspective to be honest, thanks for sharing.

We’ve been leasing an EV for a few years and have saved quite a bit. Even better currently. The only problem I have with it is unsolicited opinions from others about how shit EVs are, like I haven’t been driving petrol or diesel for 20 fucking years .

Wild how this is normalised. Here in the UK we’re relatively placid and docile when it comes to respective governments fucking us over, which they do with depressing regularity, but I feel that if this was to suddenly happen in our hospitals there would finally be large-scale rioting in the streets. We’d go proper French.

That’s interesting to me, as I’d always assumed that if you were poor in the US you were kinda screwed. I’m in Scotland where it’s basically impossible to be homeless unless you choose it, and if you’re sick you’ll get treated by the NHS. It still sucks to be poor here.

Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy, and alcohol. Co-co-co-co-co-cocaine.

Definitely not 100%

That’s refreshingly normal tbh.

Surely this is the only answer?!

I’m locked in to an energy tariff for the next year, so my supply price (in theory) can’t go up.

But I do have an oil fuelled heating system in our house, as we leave rurally. We accidentally ran out of oil just before the strikes on Iran, so managed to get a full tank before the prices went up by over 40%. Saved about £350, so from our perspective we got lucky.

I agree that the system sucks and that, IRL, they’re bad people and harmful to society. Still a good movie though.

Believe what you want. Be well.
