I think for me the highlight of Download was seeing an ad for the Rocket League Major in London. Esports is officially cool, ladies and gentlemen.

And so it begins...

It's been 45 years since the best ever account of an attempted crime (from the Edinburgh Evening News, 18 August 1978)

I believe this is now the 5th missed payment deadline? (Correct me if I'm wrong, please) I don't even have the energy to be angry anymore.

Is it too early to call Jay Slater as this generation's Madeline McCann?

I'm sorry, but how the fuck does Pickford not save that shot? How does this useless prick keep getting picked in this team?

So in the past 2 months, I have travelled to Manchester, Edinburgh, Donnington, Bristol and Chepstow for work. I'm looking forward to some time off next weekend by.... travelling to Kettering.

I'm actually spending more time in England this month than I am in Scotland and this brings up many conflicting feelings

It's not until you're stranded the day after lan until 5pm that you realise there really is nothing to do in Kettering, is there?

With festival season entering its last month, I'm taking this time to sort work out for the rest of the year. From September onwards, I'll be looking for esports work again- if you need an experienced tournament admin, please reach out! Reposts/references appreciated!

Today I learned there is a Scottish character in Valorant called Clover. Because Americans are stupid and think Scotland and Ireland are the same thing, apparently.

Tata and farewell, sir.

What involvement the original ESS team has going forward determines whether or not I think this is a good thing...

Sometimes I worry that I talk a lot of nonsense on here. Then I see things like this and realise I could be doing far, far worse.

Update: It's a bad thing

More positive news! I'm looking for a huge Siege nerd to be our Social Media Manager for a temp project running December - February (wonder what...) Details, inc. how to apply: epiclanservices.co.uk/social-media-m… Note, "vouch" replies from your pals won't bypass the application process!

I refuse to consider buying oasis tickets because I still believe the Gallagher brothers will last about 3 or 4 shows before they have a massive bust up on stage and cancel the rest of the tour.

After an extended period of being unnavailable, my calendar for the next couple of months has opened up until early December! You can take a look at my portfolio here: jakeyboypro.co.uk to see what work I can perform!
