On Thursday last week, The Guardian published a travel blog buy a 19-year-old gap-yah student called Max Geraghty. He writes for Skins don't you know. It's awful. Beyond bad. The worst type of journalism and middle-class pretentiousness. It is worth reading for amusement, but, for true hilarity the vitriol from the comments have to be seen to be believed.


It gets better. The following day, an editorial appeared defending the blog and Max. Cue more hilarious comments.


Finally, on Sunday, The Observer ran an article on the whole thing with brilliantly OTT comments from Max's father (oh, did I mention he is also a writer at the Grauniad? Coincidence, non?) about how poor little Max is now deeply hurt and will not be blogging any more about his f**king boring gap year travels.


The world can sleep safely once again.

    • "In Southwark, you can recycle plastic plant pots at home in your main recycling bin, provided they are not black, as black plastic is often not detected by recycling machinery. Clean, rigid plastic pots (tubs/trays) are accepted, but soft plastic pots should be taken to a local supermarket drop-off point" B&Q take as well https://www.diy.com/responsible-business/community/community-re-use (I've just found much of this out) Or you can make little men
    • Can they be recycled? I didn't know that. I've tried to give them away in the past. One community garden took a load one year, but I haven't had much luck otherwise. People are probably trying to get rid of their own 🤣 I don't know why nurseries don't use biodegradable pots, but I suppose it's because they would biodegrade before the plant reached the plant centre/retailer and then the gardener at the end of the chain.
    • I'm surprised no one has commented yet on the Rolls Royce phantom that was parked on the same side of the road, just a few yards away (not kidding). Lordship is the true millionaires' mile.
    • Guessing the latest round of super loud fireworks tonight (Monday) is Chinese New Year?
