Morning all.
SkyrimChat.
Playing on a more difficult level ups the brutality of random encounters. I'm finding new ways of being killed by bandits and wildlife whilst minding my own business.
The new farm you can get is very much worth it.

Hello.
I finished watching 'Quarry' on NOWTV last night. It was pretty good, and it's a shame they didn't make a second series. It's about a man who comes back from Vietnam and kills people for money. Convincing sense of place and period. 4 stars.
I then started watching Succession again. I have tried twice and hated it both times, but scubar likes it so I am trying again because I respect his opinion so goddam much. Also because I am quite lazy and couldn't be bothered playing a game or reading a book. It was quite good this time round. 4 stars.
Ottm: you know when you are out driving in residential streets and people give you a polite nod or wave when you allow them right of way in sections where there are parked cars? Well, we have that down to a fine art in my neighbourhood. But in winter when it's dark, people flash their lights full beam at you instead of waving. What the fuck is that all about? I can hardly see by the time I get home, especially as I have a crappy little car and some of these people are driving SUVs with lights at my exact eye level. Imagine someone flashed 4000 lumens directly into your peepers from 6 feet away every time you held open the door for them at the Spar. Then imagine a whole queue of them doing it one after the other. There would be letters to the local paper and no mistake. 4 stars.

Hi, hello, yo.
I’ve got another day off work sick. Feeling almost-better now, thankfully.
TVblog: Seinfeld.
And finished Lost in Space now. Overall, I enjoyed it a lot. The final series was probably the best out of the three. 4*
Amigablog: played a few games I’d not discovered before: Air Support, Cloud Kingdom, Crown, and Cyberworld.
The stand-out game for me is probably Air Support, a Psygnosis release that features excellent vector graphics and synthesised voice audio. The other three didn’t appear to have any form of play testing before release…

, Indeed not. Morning, Destry,Amipal, Scam and Rolling. It's treatment day and Nursey is going to be a substitute - I'm not looking forward to this. So I am unlikely to be in here much. Playing AoW3 probs... one more enemy to kill. |

Kid 1 hurt his toe last night so it was a late night trip to Children's A&E, the 6th one for said child. Then kid 2 was up half the night crying so I had at most 4 hours sleep.

After incurring a mild inconvenience in obtaining my covid pass it seems a small price to pay to access venues and keep myself and others safe. But 80 Tories are planning to vote against the use of such passports for large events. That's completely maddening.

Yeah, but corbyn would have charged you for the covid pass, then given the money to terrorists |

But you'd have died of socialism covid under Corbyn anyway, so it wouldn't matter.

I can't feel scandalised by anything to do with COVID-19. People not wearing masks, vaccines, the government responses.
Maybe I'm just a cool guy. Chilled out.

anyway ....
I was beguiled by the image of the bean volcano yesterday and considered trying to replicate it, though I only had one big potato which would have been reduced, in mashing, to just a few paltry tablespoons. I baked it instead and surrounded it with a moat of beans, then added three 'meat free' Richmond sausages. In essence it was a very conservative meal. But delicious.

I wonder if Piers Corbyn and Jeremy Corbyn will be spending Christmas together.
I don't know what Piers Corbyn is like generally but he seems a bit of a chump. Then of course there's Piers Morgan.
I knew someone at school called Piers and I didn't care for him much.
Does anyone know a good Piers?

I have never met anyone called Piers. A lot of other old fashioned names seem to have come back into fashion: Oscar, Henry, Oliver, Alfie and so on. Nobody had names like that in the 70s and 80s except grandads. These days, you get arrested if you say your name is Pete or Dave.

I'm not trying to vilify people called Piers here. I'm hoping to crack out of my shell of anti-Piers prejudice.

He was a friend of a friend. My main memory is of him trying to give me a dead arm, out of the blue, at a summer fête.* * it might have been a summer fayre ... |

You don't get many people called Cornelius these days. A sad loss to society.

Did you go to school in Narnia or somewhere? |

Did you go to school in Narnia or somewhere? Well I met the 11 year old Piers through some friends I had at a private school which I went to for one year. Then we moved to Birmingham - The Heart of England - where I went to an all boys grammar school that had a teacher named Cornelius. I'm now wondering if Cornelius was a made up name. This teacher was a funny fellow who could 'turn' like that (snaps fingers) |
