Top 5 Things Crank sucks the joy out of: 1) Putting up Christmas Trees 2) Buying a PS5 3 - 5) Writing Top 5 Lists where he's failed to inspire me to think of more than 2 items. Suck the joy out of, err, THIS. I'll set 'em up, you suck 'em down. |

I just discovered, to my consternation, that 'jorts' is not a recognised word in online Boggle. Melvazord must be spinning in his grave. |

Today I've been mostly playing FIFA22 career mode. 17 yr old prospect, Tufty 'Hot Shot' Tuffers, in his first season, is now a regular starter for Liverpool. Things were going well. In fact too well. After many drubbings in a row for the opposition, it was quite clear that the default difficulty of semi-pro was too easy, I beat Brentford 11-0 in the last game ffs, netting a cool 7 goals and 2 assists. Also maxed out the 'pace' skill tree. So I bumped it up to Professional level (after that is World Class, then Legendary). Got thumped 3-0,4-1,then 2-1 (at which point I'm worrying about being dropped to the subs bench) but in my last game today I scraped a 1-1 against Porto in the Champions League. However, I'm not sure it's as much fun. Time will tell.
Tldr; I'm wasting my life playing a game made for children.

I played a quick game of the new Fortnite chapter, there is a new AK now with a red dot sight that is unbelievably fun to use.

Fair denizens of the 'box, I have to move to sound only as my eyes have had enough.
Speaking of sound, avoid the audio book Agincourt 1415: Field of Blood by Barry Renfrew like the, err, plague ... Not only is this fictional retelling of the sketchy, but listening to an American narrator making Henry sound like a falsetto religious fanatic became, very quickly, unbearable ...
Audible pronounces the title "a-g*in-court, one thousand, four hundred and fifteen"

I've read Juliet Barker's book on Agincourt. Of course, in my head, a young Roger Moore narrates the story.

Dr Shenguin's best advice is to drink a double scotch every time Audible pronounces something in a stupid way. That way you won't notice the underlying health problems with your eyes, and you'll just assume you're pissed, which you will be. |
