great band name! Gary Showbiz and the 9 Volt Nazis

Years ago I got a combination square in one of mcquillans bargain baskets once that was off square. It took me about 2 projects to figure out that it wasn't due to my inability to cut wood square. I still have the ruler part - which is very handy however.

off square due to being crapily made - or at a very specific non 90degree angle because Ikea?

I had a dream last night that a mate of mine's band completely plagiarized a song from one of my old bands, it ended up on a toyota ad, and they made a fortune. The dream was quite entertaining, but it's also meant I've listened to the below for the first time in about 9 years. Track 6...

Yeah, it takes time to get a coherent proposal together with more than a couple of partners involved.. we had 14! I wasn’t even sure what some of them do, let alone could do in the proposal. Was originally thinking of submitting for the review, but that’s a hell of a lot of work for something...

Been working on a grant, big consortium job that we hadn’t enough time for. Was going to eat my life for the next 16days, having eaten quite a lot of the past 2 months, but nothing short of another 2 months work would have made it really competitive. Decision made today to pause and either...

I have found a local barber that does a quick and cheap hair cut. My current hairstyle is effectively a 1950s short back and sides (not in a @therealjohnny way, in the haircut your grandad had in old photos way). This should not take more than 10mins. I do not need hot towels or offers of...

I hate to judge anyone’s parenting but exposure a child to ratm is child abuse.

1. My health has been shit since the 27th dec, although I’m finally coming through after losing pretty much mon-weds this week. Big pressure thing with work is a grant I’m coordinating which I had to get first draft of out to the partners this week. After lots of very political incorporating of...

It’s amazing (if obvious really) how much light a moderately dirty window blocks. I did all the ones of ours that I can reach with my girly ladder/fear of heights before the plague hit over Xmas. The difference was significant even in the gloomy weather we had at the time.

What about brandy+coffee with a mince pie? Notions?

Not sure we can blame aping the Brits for turkey - bigger birds that were cheaper to rear than geese and so became the norm. Although you’re correct that they only became the norm mid last century (40s-50s). Goose would have been the traditional bird in Uk too (if the muppets Xmas carol has...

Ya know for all the talk of energy/cost of living crises, there was no change in the volume of external facing lighted tat last year as far as I could determine.

my neighbour hasn't started disassembling the vast array of noise-making tat in her garden, so it's still hanging on here...

this story and picture cheered me up. when the world is well and truly fucked in so many ways, and humanity in general is eating itself, a greasy mole not being extinct is a minor pleasure...
