You've Gotta Be F'ing Kidding Me, Part 931756: Finally, finally my age group becomes eligible to register for our first vaccination shots as of midnight (ie 8 minutes ago). And what does the website say?
You STUPID SOBs couldn't have done this earlier in the day?!
Edit: COMPLETE REVERSAL! A friend texted me with a 'backdoor' link that works, and I was able to get my shot scheduled!! WOOHOO!!!

Hahaha, so... I thought I'd check the YouTube channel to see if there'd been much activity overnight. I looked at the subscriber count and saw the last two digits had gone up from 25 to 27. "Cool, two new subscribers," I thought. Then something looked wrong about the hundreds place. Turns out we've made 102 subscribers overnight! Also, our Twitter follower count has gone from 2 to 142, and our view counts have smashed every previous record I've been keeping track of! I called my sister instantly and have just finished an hour-long "What the hell just happened?" conversation It took a while, but scanning through all the various notifications it seems we've been noticed by some notable people. Babelcolour (yes, THE Babelcolour) had commented on our latest medley, Nev Fountain retweeted our Take On Me video, and Toby Hadoke commented about our latest medley too, which he called "genius"! Yep, day definitely frigging made! The funny thing is we'd been planning what we wanted to do for our 250 sub special. At time of writing, that's now become a 300 sub special. And if things continue the way they are (this spike in activity only started 11-12 hours ago and doesn't appear to be slowing down), it's very possible it could become a much bigger milestone than that... This has been going crazy all day. Barnaby Edwards has just shared a clip of YMCA saying it's "brilliant work [and that he's] delighted to see that [he] appears in this one"! And it's been retweeted by Scott Handcock too! EDIT: Nick Briggs also retweeted! It's so weird to think that these people are seeing our work... Mate, I haven't seen 1 second of any of your videos... I think I am going to have to check it out this weekend.. I just saw the "synopsis" - words spoken from the tv show.. the sheer amount of hours involved...!

I'm sure the process would be tedious and boring for some people, but we find it strangely enjoyable If you do check them out, just be aware that the older a video is, the worse it probably is We're constantly improving with each one, so the earlier ones suffer from a lack of editing experience!

If you need a place to start, you can't go wrong with Another Medley. It's a thing of beauty (♩ I said, young man-- ♩).

Just had my first job interview in several months....was scheduled to be 45min-1h long, but half an hour in she told me that she's just going to go ahead and make me a conditional offer here and now, and will send the same to the HR team Good and bad rolled into one: after several days growing increasingly panicky because I hadn't heard anything back from them, they finally came back to me with the offer letter and various (numerous) HR things to read and sign. So, GREAT that it's confirmed. But holy hell I was already exhausted (bad sleep last night) and had to spend all afternoon doing HR documents lol

I got the email notification on Wednesday that my Limited Ed Sets of Light at the End and the Novel Adaptations Vol 1 had been despatched, so reasoned that they would be here this morning (Royal Mail, no tracking). Gave word to the family before I went out for my 9am swim and hung about afterwards 'til 11:30 whilst making sure someone was keeping an ear open for the doorbell (the house is a bit deeper than it is wide). No arrival so went out for the day knowing someone was at least staying in (not on my behalf though). Long and the short is that it looks like Monday now. Five days for a bleeding parcel, mainland delivery, by Parcelforce (is there such thing as third class delivery?).... No big deal, but I was looking forward to having a gander at them, and they don't hang about here, the posties. If you aren't quick enough to the door its a trip to the parcel office early first thing the next morning to collect it yourself. I have had times where I have walked into the hallway from the back to see that I have missed a delivery by a minute or two, but the van is long gone... Still, something to look forward to getting

Watching Alan Partride and Matt Smith meet on last night's This Time Season 2 ep 3. Two of my idols clashing. Matt's looking great too, when I think how much older Tennant looked in the 50th after only 3 years away, Matt looks the same as he did in Time Of The Doctor 8 years ago.

I feel like a horrible person 😔 I am sorry if I ever come across wrong in posts. I am sorry if I ever come across as annoying or horrible and aloof. I am just overly passionate and sometimes I say things I don’t mean because I have difficulty conveying tone in posts. I apologize if everyone hates me.

You're the 976th least hated person on here! You've got a passion and a love which is very, very focused on one particular reading of the show's past and one that most people don't see. But you see it, and it makes you happy - you're harming no-one and believe me - you're one of the nicest posters this forum has ever had. You're too tough on yourself though - not agreeing with your opinion or not seeing your reading of something is certainly not personal and doesn't take anything away from the high regard you're held in.

I've even got a few ideas earmarked in my little black notebook from some of the discussions. You're a source of more good than harm, you've not to worry.

Some are just fun bits of What-iffery, but others have unexpectedly developed into proper stories when they've picked up momentum. I like to leave people room to develop their own concepts on their own terms. I assume your ideas will find expression in what you write. You know them, after all.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

Been stupidly busy at work and in life. Finally managed to have a day where I haven't needed to do much. Joy!

Woke up - still alive! YAY. Had 2nd COVID-19 jab with no side effects this time. YAY! Boiler now fixed after 8 days - no more wandering around the place with two pairs of socks and dressing gown over gilet and clothes. YAY!
(Thank goodness I didn't let that chap talk me into a combi-boiler with no hot water tank otherwise there'd have been nowhere to try and dry/warm the towels, let alone have an immersion heater for the hot water. YAY for sensible me!)
When I can afford it I will go all electric, honest.

I hope the second one really kicks more like a cat can less than a mule, I am still suffering the side effects now, 4 days after my first shot.
