You daft racist. Evening. Some Spiderman earlier. Less button bashing than last night. Battered Kingpin and his goons and then did some puzzles. Came off the PS4 about 45 mins ago so the PM could watch strictly. "I'll quickly phone my parents" she said. Strictly has yet to be put on. Oh dear. I did say as they can both chat a bit. Hurrah for noise cancelling headphones and Forza on the laptop. |

Motorsport 7. I've only ever played this one and horizons 4.
Currently racing a sweet Porsche 959 against other supercars. I remember the Porsche 959 on top gear for some reason. It wasn't really a show I watched.
Amused at my watches heart rate monitor as I go into the final lap of the race to decide the series. Probably the same Fitbit knock-off that Lewis Hamilton uses. He's no doubt got two big glasses of heavy hitter 15% red wine inside him most races as well.

Boris Becker had a 959, I think he was on Top Gear talking about it.
[EDIT] I believe they also compared, on another show, the F40 and 959.

According to this game it does 170mph. The fastest I've ever been driven is about 120. In either an Opel manta GTE (irmscher?) or a Lotus Sunbeam or maybe even a Cavalier SRi. This was back in the day as a yoot. Can't even imagine going faster than that. Scary. {Edit} Chumbles what did you say you had that shifted a bit? I remember thinking I'd been in one. |

I'm just sticking this one out there; off the top of your head (in 5 minutes), what are the 5 albums you reckon you have / most like / could stand being stuck on repeat atm... Feel free to post linkies AFTER you're done listing. Here's mine Exit Eden - Rhapsodies in Black Elizabeth Parker - The Living PlanetEnya - WatermarkEurielle- ArcadiaLady Gaga - FameThe most played by a very long way is the Elizabeth Parker album; I played it through the night on auto-repeat from 1987-1995 and then from 2015-present, taking turns with Enya and Eurielle... Daytime it's the Exit Eden, at least twice a day. The Enya is on atm. Here goes another attempt to sleep ... |

It was a Senator chumbles you're correct. Absolute flying machine.
My mum's partner used to drive one for the police as well. They were the local armed response vehicle and drove around with heckler & Koch MP5's in the boot.
Games. Spider-Man & Forza.
TV. No. We are watching the Crown, which takes me back to my comment about the Polis.
Mum's PM and colleague were often called when royalty were visiting just in case. Him and the other cop were basically in a cupboard out of sight while Prince Phillip did a tour of some local place. Apparently Phillip had a habit of opening random doors and opened this cupboard they were in. "What are you doing in there?" He asks.
"We're here as you're here sir.." he replies.
"Ah, ok. Carry on" And closes the cupboard door on them.
Frosty out.

Chumbles quiz, a bit longer than 5 minutes mainly because I'm trying to think of the titles also I play a lot of "Best of..." Taylor Swift - 1989 Carly Simon - No SecretsKate Bush - Never for Ever Genesis - Foxtrot Carole King - Tapestry All hip and swinging stuff. <edit>Looking at it, if I swapped out Genesis for Joni Mitchel's Ladies of the Canyon I'd have a full set of female singer/songwriters.

b) messed up by the child using my Spotify despite having an account of her own.
Anyway. Rant over.
In no particular order..
Tourist - St Germain
Silent Movie - Quiet Village
Sound of Silver - LCD Soundsystem
Dummy - Portishead
G-Stone Book - Kruder & Dorfmeister
*Yes, yes. It's a compilation.

Adam and the Ants - Dirk Wears White Sox All the others would be soundtracks, such as 'Good Morning Vietnam', and, therefore, not admissible under Chumbles draconian rules. A harsh man, but fair. I've always said it etc.. |

Hi.
Games? No except apex which is more of a habit than a game. The new map is good tho.
Telly? Currently watching Ready Player One. It seems pretty bad so far. It's like someone punching you repeatedly in the ears and screaming DO YOU REMEMBER THE 80S??? an inch from your face while winking and smirking because they don't fucking care if you do or not, they just want your money. 4 stars (provisional).
Albums?
Separation Sunday (The Hold Steady)
Garden of Delete (Oneohtrix Point Never)
The Silver Gymnasium (Okkervil River)
The Ascension (Sufjan Stevens)
Ordinary Corrupt Human Love (Deafheaven)
