19th December - Is This Man The World's Biggest Laughing Stock?



Around 5 or 6 years ago, a sleaze-bag by the name of Nusret Gokce (somehow) became a viral internet sensation for sprinkling sodium on the food of his diners with a weird technique which saw most of it end up sliding off his greasy elbow and into their food. He earned the nickname 'Salt Bae', and most of us assumed that would be that, and his 15 minutes in the spotlight would soon come to an end. Fast forward to 2022, and the Chef with the lop-sided mouth was inexplicably present on the field last night during the celebrations of Argentina's World Cup triumph.




As if the eye-watering costs of his restaurants, where his £20 cans of red bull and £19 sweetcorn cobs, weren't enough to extend the self-indulgent narcissist's level of fame further, the Argentinian players glanced around with bewildering looks upon their faces, as he gatecrashed their party, attempting to take selfies with the Jules Rimet trophy. He has, today, quite rightly been criticised for such a move, using the achievements and career highlights of players like Emi Martinez and Angel Di Maria as a way of extending his own brand and media presence. Furthermore, he broke the most important unwritten rule...




If you don't win the World Cup yourself, you're simply not allowed to touch it. But that didn't stop the little Turkish midget, once again hiding behind his tiny little sunglasses, from snatching the trophy from players and forcing them to perform his 'salt bae' hand movement with it. Whilst many looked annoyed to say the least, Lionel Messi was having none of it, and a video has been circulating of him actively shrugging off the persistence of Nusret, who wouldn't leave him alone in his search for a selfie. Once again, the small dick energy of this vertically challenged prat was all too plain to see for viewers back home, who took to Social Media to criticise his blatant little man syndrome (A disease which could also be levelled at those who choose to eat in his 'Oooh-look-at-me-for-the-'Gram' restaurants). Congratulations to Nusret Gokce. On a night when Lionel Messi proved himself as the World's greatest...




... 'Salt Bae' confirmed his spot as the World's biggest laughing stock.

20th July: I was assaulted last night

Image
Last night was just an absolute fucking disaster from start to finish, tbh. After finishing work (working from home), I set off at around 7pm to reach my destination as I was needed back in the office for the rest of the week (our office doesn’t have A/C so we were allowed to work from home on Mon & Tues on account of the heatwave), though it soon dawned on me that this was not going to prove a simple task. I arrived in London around 10.30pm and found both my 10.30pm and then 11.30pm trains had been fully cancelled. The reasoning they gave was that the tracks couldn’t handle the heat, but surely metal is strong enough to withstand even the most potent of temperatures?  As hoards of fellow commuters gathered around the departure board, looking forlorn at the rows of cancellations on the electronic board, I managed to earwig on a small group of middle-aged folk who were heading to the same destination as me. Seeking their advice, we attempted to grab one of the very few operati...

15th Jan - Dancing Queen

Image
Well, last night got a little interesting huh? I fell into 'the basic bitch trap' of jiving around to commercial drivel in one of those overpriced cocktail bar chains where a faint waft of Paco Rabanne & Gonorrhea fill the air... Be At One, All Bar One, Insert Other Name Involved 'One' and 'Bar' here. I've realised, that like many of you, when intoxicated, I possess a complete alter-ego. A gremlin inside of me which comes out to play and completely does away with the sober version of myself. This alter-ego is dangerously confident, sassy and sensual, and most worrying of all, delusional when it comes to dancing. I can't say I've ever been much of a dancer, I mean sure... I'll give it a go. I have rhythm at least, but I'm now at an age where I'm probably old enough to be able to pull off ' dad dancing ' and give the word some real personification. Last night consisted of myself & my equally intoxicated pal putting on live...

29th December - The MOST important life skill you'll learn

Image
I've spent much of this year musing a range of important and philosophical ideas and thoughts. Real deep analysis on human behaviour and psychology. And then sometimes I've just blogged about Kebabs. But there are a few really important takeaways which I can pass on from this year. The first is that when we talk about eating healthy, or 'being healthy', we alway focus on weight. Fat burning, weight loss, muscle gain etc etc. But one thing very few people talk about is that exercise, or eating nutritious foods, is first and foremost the biggest self-care for the mind. That is definitely something I discovered this year when comparing my moods on days when I stayed in like a slob, or days when I partook in my hourly walks. By clearing the mind and allowing yourself that period of isolation in fresh air, you are delivering a type of therapy to yourself more powerful than any self-help podcast, or life-coaching course. The second thing I've learned, thanks to both Jorda...
