Also we could be about to get into a debate about the difference between emoticons and similes.

A simile is like a metaphor

A simile is like a metaphor, an emoticon is a smiley.

That reminds me, I need to buy smoke alarms.

Remember to buy a CO2 sensor for near the kitchen to save it going off all the time when you make toast

My softball club has two teams now. The first team (that I occasionally play for) plays in East Midlands Softball League Division 1, and the second team (which I captain) plays in Division 3.

The second team finished joint-top of Spring League D3 with the same points and wins as another team but missed out on the championship due to a 0-2 head-to-head record.

The first team finished joint-top of Spring League D1 with the same number of points, wins, head-to-head record (1-1) and runs allowed so the championship will be decided on the toss of a coin!

While gutted to have missed out on promotion I'm really proud of our efforts and think it may have come a bit too soon anyway. Half of our team are either brand new or in their second season, and we would probably struggled. Hopefully we can keep playing well in the Summer League and get promoted in time for spring 2019!

We've also reached five tournament finals and lost them all, but I haven't been involved due to lack of funds.

In incredible scenes it turns out we read the rules incorrectly and it's only runs allowed versus the teams you're tied with that counts. So we won Division 3.

Fuck yes!

Are you famous now?

Not even slightly.

I know who you are which is more than about 30% of names in our deadpool.

Are you going to get fucked up by the division 2 teams next season?

There's actually cross-divisional play so we already played all the Division 2 teams in the spring league, as well as all D3 teams twice. Now we're in D2 ourselves we play everyone in all three divisions.

I..I. ..

So, there's 3 divisions or 1 division with echelons?

So... 1 division?

My daughter has some work in an exhibition which is anti-Trump and is running tomorrow night and Saturday to coincide with his visit. I can’t make it as I’m out of town. The big yay is that the Evening Standard have featured the show on their website and Carys’s effort is no 13 in the gallery.

I like it, i'm not sure I get it though . Is be about to be impaled by his own writings? I'm not sure how the pencil links to twitter, other than the abstract writing idea.

Isn’t the theme of the show Artists against Trump?

I was unaware Putins dick looked so much like a HB.

Much as I like Carys's picture, I can't get enough of #12 (the one with the dogs).

More of a Nay! but Yay! then Nay! The main TV seemed to be on the path to self-destruction the other day, I noticed a horizontal line of stuck pixels going across the bottom. That Nay! only lasted about five seconds before I started plotting what to get to replace it and excitedly drew up a shortlist of 55" ones that would be a nice upgrade. Then switched it on last night and the fucking thing's fine again.

Same as fast cars - they only start out fast.

That stops happening when you get to triple figures.

Lucky it didn't do more damage! How old is that Malc? It looks like it could do with updating but I'm only basing that on the fact it looks different to mine which was fitted about... Oh yeah, 10 years ago.

About 11 years old. and yeah it could have been much worse, looking like it might cost the best part of a grand to replace and install, which is perfect timing, I mean there is never a good time for that sort of thing, but a month before christmas has got to be one of the worst times.

Malc, please get some more quotes. I had some electrical work done last month that included a new board, three new sockets, and outside light and full safety certificate for the house. It cost me £500. Although I appreciate yours is more urgent so you might be paying for that.

Hope you get it sorted soon.
