Jun 8, 2026, 1:11 PMOff to a book event this evening, and I fear I'm going to be like the terrible men at weddings glancing at their phones to see what the latest football score is.

@jamesthomson Also, it’s how you make a living so it’s much more acceptable than it only being something you enjoy
abby 🐝olivvybee@beehive.cityJun 8, 2026, 1:20 PM@jamesthomson I forgot what day it is and thought you actually meant football scores... there's some kind of world cup or something, it's possible!

@olivvybee I would hope that you know enough about me to suspect that I do not give a shit about sports 😂

@jamesthomson I didn't say it was likely, just possible! (we have the same thoughts on it)
Ben Gillambengillam@mastodon.socialJun 8, 2026, 1:38 PM@jamesthomson bit like joey at the funeral 😂

Jun 8, 2026, 1:45 PM@jamesthomson what with the big football tournament coming our way, it's inevitable. The groom will just need to be holding a soccer ball the whole time.
Some people will call it a football but, we all know it's a soccer-ball.
Filip Radelicfichek@mastodon.socialJun 8, 2026, 2:12 PM@jamesthomson I’m kinda in the same but opposite situation. Going to a traditional dub dub watching party with my old iOS dev team, but having left development behind me and worked as a carpenter for the past year, I could not be less excited about the keynote itself and wish I had something more interesting to glance at on my phone 😅

Weddings are vastly overrated.
