Which one was Rise of Skywalker? The remake of A New Hope? Or the one where Leia can fly in space for some reason? It's the one where near the end we see [Redacted due to spoilers] and two Ewoks looking up at the sky. Marvellous. 5* |

Lose weight tips; take up smoking, dulls the appetite; drink coffee with butter in, should empty the bowels; tape worm, will also help with immune system modulation. None of this joe wicks/exercise or weight watchers mind washing. Or just switch to taking all calories in liquid form. May not live long enough to feel any of the adverse effects. Amphetamines will work too. |

Got back from 9 nights in Gran Canaria late Saturday
Spent all day yesterday doing laundry, then had an Indian takeaway for tea, which PM fell asleep before the arrival of. So I basically had two meals and starters for supper last night, with the remnants heated up for lunch today drowned in vindaloo sauce. Delicious. (It's only Chinese food that makes you I'll when you heat it up, right?)

Gran Turismo 7 has arrived and is installing. A wee shot of that tonight hopefully.

GT7 is a driving game, not a shooter.
You have confused it with GTAV.

I'd managed all Golds in the B Licence and all Golds up to about challenge 7 or 8 in the A Licence. Weirdly it seemed more forgiving (easier) with the VR helmet on. Maybe I'm just special. |

You two should get together online. I can vouch for Crank's sportsmanship and skillz. He barely needs to touch the brakes, he's that good. |

The VR view is tremendous. I found the hills actually look like proper hills. I still couldn't qualify at laguna Seca for the super licence. That is the last one I need to do to get the super licence - apart from the final test. I can't get close to the time. Every time I go fast I just spin off at the corner. If I go slowly enough to make the corner I am a mile off the bronze time. Usually it's the first corner. Sometimes I manage to limp round the lap. |

I think my dream job would be opening and setting up boxes of computers and other equipment.
There is something incredibly satisfying about setting something up for the first time, turning it on and it works.
I think I could set up 3-4 computers a day so 1,000 a year. I need to find a job somewhere that has 4-5,000 pcs. I could work my way from one end of the building to the other and by the time I had finished it would be time for the original people to have new pcs.

I sent photos of my nipples to the GP. The receptionist stated it "may not be a priority". This country... She oughta be grateful that you're not Tuffers. |

I have antibiotics now. I had to ring 5 Pharmacists to find one which stocked the one I needed. I had to go all the way into town and in the pharmacy was a rough looking fella who wouldn't stay still, needed his methadone I guess.
Outside on the high street it was a war zone with spice heads (probably smack heads) running grinning and drooling into the road and making the buses stop. Proper bloody anarchy.
But don't be put off coming to Sheffield.

I had a disaster after my posts earlier this morning that meant only 2h sleep all day. "Conan O'Brien, hanging out and picking apples with Mr. T"... ...so, as it's treatment tomorrow, I haven't a clue when I will next be signing in. |

You misunderstand.
They'd be doing a lot more.
When I've refreshed libraries I've done 12 a day myself. That's them re-imaged though and not that much else needing installed once set up.
You are right about it being satisfying though.

Just kidding,
clean down happened as expected including scrabbling around for bits of stale bread and crumbs for breakfast with a mug of warm coffee.
last bit of distance covered whilst wearing my sweaty three day old pair of socks and under garments that could easily walk off and join the local football team playing in a damp field nearby, packed the last of my gear and had a last sombre smoke sitting on the bow reminiscing about the damp cold days of yore in which the fine specimen that is Ozymandias Kane wrestled with mooring ropes in the heavy rain, hauling in the full weight of a narrowboat (and losing the mooring chain to Davy Jones).
A break for an hour at Derby station Costa coffee where a fine young Barista regaled us with talk of his climb up the working ladder in the entertainment and hospitality industry whilst we ate hot sausage sandwiches and croissant.
Then on to the EMR Intercity train hauling half of the Derbyshire countryside with us, again as expected no seats at first then joy of joys an onboard staff member told us of a secret seating area called 'not reserved seats' and we/I rushed there eagerly dragging two huge suitcases behind me through the narrows of the isle assisted (quite quickly) by the staff member. A second hidden room revealed a baggage area and I was finally relieved of my excess weight. My PM had done me a wrongun and left me in the isle and sat proudly in the reserved area surveying the territory.
within an hour and a half we arrived at St. Pancras and made our way to the Thameslink train, where I was expecting the usual hustle and bustle of London but was greeted with a calm serenity and half empty train as we passed over the Thames and homeward bound. One last effort as I dragged the luggage up the ramp and through our final destination fading into the misty throng of the local populace,
a memory of better days.
Ozymandias Kane.
Journeyman.
