    Minor Pleasures

    That was a bit like last night. Sometimes interesting, sometimes boring, but ultimately I was just watching things fall over one by one. Except last night, it was people falling over, rather than dominos. I left early.

    LIGHTNING!!!!! It's right on top of us right now but moving South. Separately, I learned how to play dominoes last night.

    Your Health Is Your Wealth

    My extant friends who are heavy drug users are all the strongest people I know. So putting the cart before the horse there or something. As in, They've taken a lot of drugs because they can handle it, while the rest of us hit a point where it's too much and then calm down on this or that. I hit...

    Fairweather Sports Tourist Thread

    Well, I'm sold wee laddy Munich friend sent me a bunch of pics and vids of the Scots dossing around Munich. Looks like the kind of schoolyard I'd have gotten beaten up in, but with alcohol. Edit, it's actually better with subtitles.

    Truthfully, I believe he has used a custom made silk bag for quite some time. I'm sure he mentioned it.

    Your work situation

    ...of people looking for directions etc. He should just know to phone me first. Colleague three shoes up at the very last minute. Too cool for uniform* or PPE. Anyway, after a few minutes of phone calls, turns out they'd booked us for the wrong day. We still get paid of course, but I'm the...

    Under the hammer

    That's actually a good price for good floorboards, even without the history.

    BREXIT

    This isn't from recent news, but apparently someone I know was a couple of years ahead of Farage in school. The story as he tells it is that staff threatened a mass resignation because they didn't like this guy at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Farage#Early_life_and_education "In...

    What gig did you go to last night?

    I'd have gone to the London show had I known. Never been there as a punter, apparently as an O2 customer I get some perks or something. But on the other hand it's been years since I've seen a show with more than a couple of hundred people.

    Building a music shed

    Rereading this thread, it is one of the best threads ever. Strangely, I didn't mention a mate who bought a "log cabin" from Lithuania. Then spent a lot of money on the floor, less but still a lot on the wall and ceiling insulation. But getting the Lithuanian thing was the thing for him. I...

    People Who Died

    No I think it's something else. But the radio show (surely also available as a podcast) is really good. In fact, probably right up your street DMP, though maybe it wouldn't teach you anything new.

    People Who Died

    His recent TV show was a bit fat-shaming. But his radio show "one thing every day" was really really good stuff. How to make your life better with simple little things, backed up with science. I hope he's alright. On the train today a posh dude on the phone was yapping "like, yawh dad, I mean...

    Minor Pleasures

    I like sitting in the beer garden of the local and identifying trucks and vehicles and where they come from and where they're going. There's a haulage company called Moran that deliver to Lidl every day. There's some other Irish lorry whose trailer is muralled(?) with a big Mad Max thing...

    Minor complaints thread

    I thought that was what Thumped was all about. Edit, to be positive, finding the beautiful flowers that grow from this pot of manure. That also sounds wrong.

    You know you're getting old....

    Me and older housemate were out having a smoke. Young housemate bounds in and tells us that he's off to a D'n'B gig in Camden. Apparently there's some good DJ's says the youngling. Do you guys know much Drum and Bass? Oh yeah, who then? says older FM. I have to shush his chuckling. Youngling...

    I seem to recall the bomb squad in Fairview was a weekly occurrence about 15 years ago.
