Estate agent came round today and our house will be on the market next week! We've decided to take a step of faith and we're moving to the Isle of Man. It's where my parents live and it is objectively a much better place to bring up our boy. I already have a job lined up and I start in May!

Pretty scary but also quite exciting!


Congratulations :) how exciting!

Well done you magnificent bastard! Pitching it like that, all family friendly when we all know you just want to watch the race each year. Or ride your Vespa like you're in it.

Well played.

;)

Heh. I start the job two weeks before this year's TT. Talk about a baptism of fire!

What sort of crime do you get to police on the Isle of Man? Rogue sheep destroying a garden flower patch? Food waste discarded in a recycling bin?
Yesterday, upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh, how I wish he'd go away.

Amazing! Congrats man. That's really excellent. Plus, I bet your parents will be chuffed to have you guys and their grandkid closer to them.

I was attacked by fat and cute pitbull puppies on the street of nyc last night. It was wonderful. Luckily as I had no idea what to do with them, eventually a women appeared who seemed to be their owner.

When your manager comes to you at 10AM to tell you that a snow advisory is in effect after 1PM so get everything done before then and head home to be safe and off the roads. Boom. Early Friday!

Rejoined my old D&D game last night - the resident idiot (who some of you may remember me moaning about) has left and I was quite touched the immediate reaction to this was for the rest of them to message asking if I'd come back.

We had a conga line of charmed bar patrons carrying beer kegs for us, singing YMCA. I've missed this game so much! :D

Don't know how to embed Twitter because i'm a lazy luddite who doesn't know how to google.

So if a mod could edit that for me that would be great

Thursday, house goes on the market. Friday, 12 separate people are booked in to view. Yesterday, first two viewings happen and today we get an offer at only £5k under asking price. We're holding out for more viewings as we think we can get at least asking price (which will give us a lovely big deposit for the next house)!

Only problem is I have to keep working at current job til May and am likely to be homeless for a month haha

Selling a house is usually not fun, but it seems to be going well for you guys! Good luck and hope you get asking or over asking!

I think one offer in the first two viewings is a good sign that you'll be able to get that asking price from the remaining ten viewings. Good luck!

Job interview on Monday. Asked to come for an interview within forty minutes of being put forward. If I get it, at minimum it will be a £6.5k pay increase.

Absolute madness but on that quick a response I feel quite hopeful!

EDIT: slightly less momentous, but also bagged tickets for the live War of the Worlds tour next year for my dad and I :D

The past 74 days have been such a thrill! I’ve never been so emotionally invested in a video game in my life and I’ve played some gems in my 39 yrs on Earth but wow Death Stranding was leaps and bounds above anything else. I’m left so mystified and grateful that I’m probably going to write a letter of praise(not BK style but from the bone and guts Tanner style I haven’t unleashed since 2002 in college) to Hideo Kojima/Kojima Productions. I haven’t been this motivated since I came close to sending a burn letter to Netflix after axing Sens8. Man I hope it’s read and not just discarded among all the other daily things he/they probably get daily

Game was a true masterpiece.

Glad you really liked it. From what I can tell, studios and makers really like that kind of letter.

Weekend, finally! Going to look at a house tomorrow; pretty sure it’s not going to be the one but pretty awesome to be at the stage where we can actually look (better not look too close at how long it will take us to pay back the mortgage though).
