    Heat

    Twenty years of visiting Sligo regularly and I finally went to the beach. Rosses Point yesterday and Streedagh today for swimming. Also did Strandhill last night for sunset and Lissadell for a nice quiet sit. All incredible.

    What gig did you go to last night?

    A week late but last week I saw some touring American hardcore bands in London - Destiny Bond and Big Laugh, with some UK based support in Flesh Creep. I never really listen to hardcore but it's good craic love. And the dancing will never not be hilarious - at one point there were two lads...

    Nintendo Switch 2

    This looked pretty good on my cheapo Samsung tv to start with and then started to look horrible. A man on YouTube has explained what a shambles the HDR implementation is and how to fix it. Mario Kart is really started to settle with me now after the initial unfamiliarity. Online knockout races...

    Nintendo Switch 2

    Same! After so much Mario Kart 8 it feels weird to have to learn anything new but I know I'll be playing World regularly for years. And I have a ridiculous backlog of stuff bought over the last few years to get through.

    2020-21 Football thread

    I watched the match in a fairly neutral London pub. Just before full-time, a (grown man) Spurs fan stood beside me and whipped out his phone to start filming his reaction video. He started off filming the tv, then himself talking about "this is it...we're going to do it...", then he started...

    Minor complaints thread

    Bought a Feast on my lunchtime walk and, after eating the ice cream for a mins, the solid chocolate core fell off as I was crossing the road before I even got to take a bite of it.

    Currently working through an application for a job which can only be applied for via a not very user friendly form with poorly thought out and contradictory essential criteria.

    What gig did you go to last night?

    Jinx Lennon at the Deer's Head in Belfast on Friday night. My first time seeing him after years of listening and it was a really fun night out. He had two guys with him for parts of the set and it was all pleasingly loud. Great little venue and crowd too with lots of people having a dance at...

    Minor Pleasures

    I now live close to lots of walking and cycling trails so I just went out on my bike for the first time in years. My legs feel like jelly.

    Home improvement

    Does anyone have a Nest doorbell with a chime set up? I didn't think it would be this hard to figure out... Our new place has a wired Nest doorbell which works fine in terms of sending alerts to phones and the one Google speaker in the house. But ideally I'd like it to chime like a normal...

    The Thumped Motoring Forum

    I drove on the M50 for the first time today. What a shitshow. I didn't see anyone do anything that nearly killed someone, but the amount of people pootling along way under the speed limit in the middle and outside lanes was ridiculous, especially when the left lane was practically empty half...

    Minor Pleasures

    The new Ginnels record just arrived in what must be the sturdiest packaging any record I've ever ordered has been posted in. Fair play. It's nice to open a record and know there's going to be zero damage!
