Hello all.
TVblog: more Seinfeld. It’s pretty good, you may have heard of it?
WarHermitblog: ebay is a dangerous place. More deliveries today, and who knows a) when I’ll get to paint these ones, and b) where I’ll store them…

If Morrissey were to be in government, surely he'd be home secretary? I think the transition would be pretty seamless.
I would guess the closest pop-replacement for Boris would be Cuddles the Monkey.

The last noisy neighbours we had I communicated with by notes pushed under the door. They were pretty friendly notes. The note equivalent of a grimaced rictus grin. |

Morning
Most of today has involved tooling round Mexico in various motors.
Yep, the Cosworth is a lovely thing, but I don’t want to be reliant on it. I’m having lots of fun with the Dodge Charger, even though it corners like a houseboat, and a beige Datsun 510 which would probably only exceed 60 mph if I drove it off a cliff.
Sartorial decisions? Gender fluid, with blonde curls, a white leather biker jacket, and a black mini-dress. The game seems to award clothing items somewhat randomly.

I don't like it either, I have to be on the verge of smacking someone for the old verbals to come out. However, giving Tootsie both barrels last week felt pretty good and seems to have worked wonders so far. |

I'm a pretty alpha male kind of guy, so I usually find people just do what they assume I want without having to be asked. I can't help physically dominating situations, so if I have to ask, then politely tends to work.

Those teenagers at Wigan were very respectful to you once they got close enough to realise how much bigger than them you were. |

Christ I've just seen the CBI speech.
Fucking hell.
On the way home. A tad parky.
(Parkie? Who knows. Too cold to Google it that's for sure)
Just had a run in on the trains with a 14 yr old ticket inspector. He's fond of marking tickets with a green Sharpie. I showed him my ticket. He wished to take it to mark it. I said I'd rather hold it. He then asked me to put it on the table. I said he could mark it in my hand. He told me he needed to validate it. I told him I wasn't stopping that and if he thought my ticket forged then to contact the Transport Police to meet me from the train. I told him to look at the time of issue. It was nearly 12 hrs ago. I'd been at work all day and was going home. I wasn't going to be travelling up and down on it.
He marked the ticket and fucked off. Masterclass in awkwardly standing your ground and looking like a knob.

Oh Christ.
PMs eldest has just turned up in his works van with his clothes packed and says he needs to crash for a few days or weeks. Told his kids he has a big job in London so won’t be home for a while.
PM is happy to have him stay and be looked after.
Me? Jury is out.

Time to be supportive. At least until you find out the cause of the problem.
He might even talk to you in a way he won't to his mum.

Evening all. I was supposed to listen to another sexy astronomer speaking about two recent missions to near-Earth asteroids. Shortly before 7 o'clock I logged into the Zoom session, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, and waited. And waited. And waited. And waited. After 10 minutes of no asteroids talk the chairperson announced that the speaker had insurmountable technical difficulties and that the talk will be postponed. I didn't pay much attention to what he was saying because at this point Zoom was freezing my laptop screen and, rather bizarrely, incapacitating my mouse. If that was the kind of technical difficulty the speaker was experiencing I can certainly understand the cancellation. I feel that generally things aren't working as well as they should, including our noble PM. Earlier today I put an Ocado shopping together for a delivery tomorrow. The list of items that are out of stock is now decidedly longer than that of things that are available. There's no longer much choice but everything is more expensive. Brexit. now. I also listened for a whole hour to Keza taking part in a discussion of this year's Game Awards nominees. open.spotify.com/episode/6NZGomx1WWvzmEieja0qDz?si=23ff6a71c0e640b1&nd=1 |

If there is such a course as being positively neutral then that is how I’m playing things….

It wasn't, actually. It had been planned for some time, so today's press release was coincidental. It was supposed to be about Hayabusa2, which has been stalking asteroid Ryugu, and OSIRIS-REx (NASA really like their abbreviations, don't they?), which has been in a space-rocky relationship with Bennu. Btw, anyone seen the Space Force comedy series on Netflix? I wasn't even aware that that was a thing, but looking at the extensive Wikipedia entry on the "real" Space Force... can satire compete with real life? |
