From that, longitudinal not longtitudinal. It's not even nine o'clock and I already feel like an idiot. Edit, it turned nine as I wrote that, so I'm wrong AGAIN! Moron.

https://wikidiff.com/purling/purlin I've never been a roofer, but I have built things. Apparently no one I've ever worked with knew the correct term "Purlin" either. No one, ever. That's quite troubling in retrospect. Did any of yee know that it's not called a purling?

The Greek tragedy Antigone is pronounced Antigone (/ænˈtɪɡəni/ ann-TIG-ə-nee And not Anti Gone, as I always thought. I don't know why this has affected me so much, but it has.

Amstel gives me the shits.

I actually do agree with you. If I let myself go with it, it can be a very powerful song. But really, intellectually I do think it's a bit naff. Ham-fisted. I'd love to live in the Iveagh flats, they're not tenement slums and infested with rats. I think Damo is genuine with it though, and with...

It's a very malleable sentiment. Socio-economically free? Colonially free? Solidarity with the rest of the human race free? When he plays live Damo sometimes gives a good talk about what he thinks the song means to him. It's very effective. The last "free" there ties in with Rastafarianism...

I have an associate who actually covers Colony when she is able to pull her shit together enough to get on stage. In a mad Avant Garde kind of way. She genuinely loves it though, I feel conflicted about having introduced her to the song. Brian Eno loves it too. Maybe there's something we're...

Sacrilege egg_ Working class hero/Voice of a generation/all that stuff. But hey I like Bruce and Tom Waits and Damo, so maybe I'm the asshole.

I only just learned at this very moment that Kae has a new single out.

I haven't actually seen her/him/them since they announced that. I don't think I've ever met anyone mid-transition. I do have to admit the linguistics are difficult for me. The fact that it's a famous type person makes it more difficult. Kae is great and lovely. I've embarrassed myself every...

Am I missing a joke or are you confusing Rocky III and Rambo III? Anyway, I didn't know that it was apparently a fake either. So cheers...

There's a movie, dunno about a doc

In other news, on this day 50 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Jadotville Was aware something happened there and then, but there was a lot more to unpack reading that. The Irish lads were fighting Belgians?! "Commandant Quinlan's action is cited in military textbooks...

After buying shares in Tayto, which were very lucrative, Garth took a change of musical direction. He insisted to his management that he could afford to do this considering the value of his Tayto shares. But eventually he relented somewhat and agreed that Chris Gaines was a better name than...

Garth Brooks songwriting partner named the song "The Dance" after Riverdance, because he thought that would endear him to an Irish audience. Géaraith didn't know anything about Flatley et al. In fairness to Garth, he was glad he didn't know, the way it all would end, the way it all would go.

In fairness the staff were absolutely excellent. The food was, well, precisely to the standard I expected. Which is what I wanted. An amusing conceit nonetheless, sir.

I just went down the local caff for a "traditional breakfast". Never did that before around here. On the table to my left was a butch version on the banjo kid from Deliverance. He just STARED at my food the whole time. To my right was a mess of people with clear mental health issues. They just...

Olive oil removes bitumen from skin. Don't get bitumen on you. Two things YOU should have known before now.

Yesterday I got some bitumen on me. Did I clean it? No, I had promised my colleague I'd finish at the proscribed finishing time. No shower for me. Ended up at home late at night, slathered in olive oil, absolutely wrecking the bathtub and everything else I touched.

The showers at work are better than my own shower/bathtub at home. And I don't have to clean the shower afterwards. I've been an idiot. I've always just wanted to Fred Flintstone my way out of work at the end of the day.
