Just realized I've watched over 70 episodes of 'Taskmaster' in the past two weeks. That's a full work week of just Greg Davies yelling at people.

Wait, did you say 70 episodes? Because that's actually MORE than a full work week. A standard work week is 40 hours, but each Taskmaster episode is about 45 minutes, so 70 episodes x 45 minutes = 52.5 hours. So you've watched like a week and a HALF of work time. That's kind of impressive honestly. As for the best task, I can't pick just one. The one where they had to sneak up on the Taskmaster and he was just completely oblivious was great. But honestly any task where someone has a COMPLETELY insane interpretation of the rules is my favorite. Like when they had to build a bridge and someone just threw a plank across the room. I think Bob Mortimer is overrated though. Everyone loves him but I actually prefer the newer series where the contestants are less chaotic and more competitive. The potato throw was funny, but people act like it's the greatest moment in TV history.

Not sold on paying points to lower my rate

Yeah I mean I used to just look at the monthly payment and call it good, but seeing it laid out like that definitely changed my mind.

I used to clean pottery shards with a toothbrush for hours, now I just use a soak in diluted vinegar

Noticed this same thing with coffee makers actually, a little vinegar soak saves way more elbow grease than scrubbing.

Had to choose between a hostel dorm and a private room in Barcelona last month

Snoring in shared spaces is just the universe testing how much patience you actually have. It's wild how a stranger's breathing can become your whole night's drama, almost like a weird social contract you didn't sign up for. Ever notice how the worst noises always show up right when you've finally gotten comfortable?
