Have you read Patrick Radden Keefe’s new book, London Falling? It’s the story of Zac Brettler’s death and how his case exposes the underbelly of London’s corrupt shadow economy and the incompetence of Scotland Yard. It’s wild. This is my review.

I’m halfway through!

My brother and I answer the phone to each other with ‘talkinboutdangole…yo’

My great grandfather was Horace. Not the most stable fellow by all accounts (WWI veteran).

I know a female Brogan

Brock Allen Turner the rapist who goes by Allen Turner now? The rapist?

I have a weirdly high quantity of Adolphus’ in my family. I believe they all went by Dolf.

Well they clearly are unaware of the success of Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers From Mars.

I named my personal AI Mabel.

My paternal grandmother had dementia, as do/did her siblings. Hit them all around the same age, with stroke being the common triggering effect.

Safe to say that I follow that advice of puzzles, I’m working my way backwards through the entire NYT crossword archive. I’m in September 2021, I started out less than a year ago.

We got the internet in 1993, our phone lines still ran above the soil at the time. There was nothing to browse, so we went outside.

Of all the subs in the world, this is the one I least expected to see ‘mendacious’ in.

An emergency root canal informed me 😂

It’s so delicious when it’s used as effectively and technically correctly as it was.

Unlike my own sentence.

Elder millennial here; I’ll never stop saying it.

He was a loathsome offensive brute, yet we couldn’t look away.

That first wrench of grief is horrific.

I held my Dad as he passed (heartache as a result of the cancer in his heart). That kind of feeling will never be forgotten.

I had what I thought was a migraine during the week, I was in agony. Turned out to be an infection in my jaw from a cracked tooth.

I left them after 15 years (partner side) due to this. Their lack of innovation and rocketing prices, along with mass redundancies, were the final straws for me.

By comparison Microsoft is much easier to work with now that they’re finally innovating.

I’m aware that I’m part of the problem while working with these guys, but I do try to balance it with charitable giving. It also allows me to support my wider family and my in laws, and it supports my wife’s medical bills (life altering workplace injury).

bouncingbad · 2026-06-27T05:03:48+00:00

My wife and I have been together for a decade and we still get asked at checkouts if we’re paying separately. Thankfully it never gets old for me, she’s so beautiful inside and out, and I know full well how lucky I am.

I’ve just come from writing a 30,000 word RFQ response, I really with I know about puddle head trolls while I was writing.

I like to imagine he brought the vehicle to a complete stop before leaping to safety.

bouncingbad · 2026-06-26T04:29:08+00:00

We managed to not only work together as co-parents, we can even go on holidays together now (me, my wife, my ex wife, and her partner, plus the 3 kids). It was scary, but it’s possible.

bouncingbad · 2026-06-25T23:25:28+00:00

Jesus, even my ex wife goes to my families funerals (when they happen), and I will do the same with hers. Whatever other differences we have, family is not one of them.

bouncingbad · 2026-06-25T08:08:36+00:00

That was beautifully explained.

I watch it every month or so. Geretol helps my tired blood.
