The other day I found myself having to explain the concept of the paninni football sticker album to an adult man. It turned out he also had no real idea what the world cup is. He tried to up his game by asking if Great Britain had qualified, and then, upon having that one corrected, whether I thought Scotland had a chance to win it. This man has lived his whole life in England and is in his late 30s. Several days later I am still troubled by this conversation. Even if you don't like football surely this not possible. Alien invader under deep cover? I know all the football. I even know the offshore rule.

I've been avoiding the awful sunlight and playing games, as god intended.
Dark Souls is still quite good, surprisingly enough. It seems to run at a decent frame rate too which is a boon.
I also have Detroit waiting to be blasted open. I fully realise it is probably terrible in a lot of ways, but I have a thing for games where some of the voice actors sound like aliens who have read an english grammar book but never actually heard anyone speak english before, or are inexplicably french sounding.

Two hours of Edgar Wright and Quentin Tarantino talking about everything apart from Hot Fuzz, very geeky

In fact, if you check the lightning strikes map you can see there's another thunderstorm over Brum right now. We probably deserve that too.

Someone should give shovels to all those flat-earthers and tell them to start digging. Imagine the look on their stupid faces when they realise they've ended up in China!

Off in to town for a gig. Outside possibly - never been in the part of the venue. It's a cracking evening and I've got a can of Edinburgh gin & tonic for the train. I've got a plastic cup I'm not a total monster. I normally hate folk that drink on the train.

Torrential rain, hail, a violent thunderstorm over Birmingham. Hope the flat-earthers brought their ark.

At least I'm not on the Ayrshire train. They've put a booze ban in place for the next few days. Eejits going to the beach steeming. There's 5 police standing waiting on one coming in. |

Oh man, just came across the Sleep Well In The (insert trite comment here) Fire guy. Unfortunately my continuing pre-mod status at The Other Place, plus the fact that FRANK would in any case take offence, prevents me from hoping that, come this fire, he succumbs to smoke inhalation. |

Evening boxers. I've spent the day with a borrowed dog. My friend tricked me into a 6 hour, with lunch walk, 15 miles all in.
I now have to cycle home pretty much another 15 miles. I am not ok.

Recently acquired dog and excessive travel? Scubar - wrong login, you've accidentally signed in as bloggie. |

Next you'll be trying to tell me Australia isn't all upside down |

If you were to dig to the centre of the earth how would gravity work? Also, I am drunk and have heat stroke.

If you were to dig to the centre of the earth how would gravity work? Also, I am drunk and have heat stroke. The same way gravity always works; mass is attracted to other mass. In effect, there's no *effective* gravity at the centre of the Earth, as you would be attracted equally to all of the earth surrounding you, cancelling the effect (and, of course, it is equally attracted to you. Hot.) Interestingly, or not, if you drill a hole the whole way throughout the Earth and jump in it, you accelerate all the way to the centre, and then gravity slows you down on the outward journey, and you boing back and forth, and the extent of each boing is only reduced each time by air resistance. It might be quite warm though. In other news, I went swimming in the sea with Dog. Then I went to the pub with him. No lightning here yet tonight. |

So much boinging it makes me suspect you are a Boggies fan.
Could be worse I suppose.
Boing boing

I can hear the dawn chorus of birds.
Nice.
At least this means it has stopped storming for the moment.
