Morning all. Did IQs drop sharply while I was away?
Cat still at vets. Awaiting some results which if positive may result in a downwards-turned thumb*.
Amazon have seen fit to give me a thirty-day free trial on Prime. So started the fourth series of Halt and Catch Fire last night (I'd seen the other three on a previous trial).
Bake Off: now lets make this vegan be-gone!
*yes, I know...

Bakeoff? The right man went. But surely nobody can stop Rahul - he is pitiless. He will be able to write his own deal at Gregg's once this is over.

I think I may have overestimated the average ability by some distance. I burned spaghetti recently. As in the actual pasta, not the sauce. |

Hello.
My wine parcel arrived today, this bodes well for BDT. Or even BDW.
After I got my flu jab last Saturday, Mr Tent Rooster got his yesterday. It should now be safe to venture outside and mingle with the general germ-ridden public, not that we want to. The nurse told him that he had "a blood pressure like a teenager", to which he answered "do you mean it's sky high due to drugs, alcohol and partying all night?". Probably tells you what he used to get up to.
Games: In Octopus Travel Agent I'm currently locked in a fierce battle with... the Leviathan? ...the Abominable Snowman? ...the Kraken? Much, much worse than all of these. I'm battling Gareth. Gareth from middle management. Nail biting stuff, I can tell you.

If you’ve progressed beyond those sippy cups with handles you give to infants then you shouldn’t be drinking out of anything with a lid on it.

In actual game news, I recently finished Spider-Man. I got about halfway through the main story before I got bored and raced through to the end. It was ok but no Arkham.
I know RDR2 is out in a couple of weeks, and although I found the first one a bit boring, and have been under-whelmed by the trailers for the new one I know I'll get caught up in the hype and end up getting it, before sticking it on ebay a week later.

Put it in a pot with water to soften up and left it on a hob much larger than the circumference of the pot whilst I put baby Fark to bed. The gas hob put up heat which went around and up the side of the pan and singed the ends of the still stiff spaghetti. |

Well that is where you have gone wrong. Should have stuck with hoops.

Electrical Games: None
Cardboard Games: One. Cyclades, which is like Greeks having a barney and that. We played two games, both of which were won by someone else literally 1 turn before I would have won. I can't seem to win this one, maybe I'm not being aggressive enough*
Other things that matter: The other half is currently making me look like a chump by simultaneously doing a home learning advanced accountancy course and learning sign language. Meanwhile, I sit in my pants playing Dinozoids. I am the worst. I am assuming that in a previous life she was either Hitler or Pol Pot, its the only way to explain how she got lumped with this.
*I know, right?

I was so inspired by 'True Lies' the other day that I've just applied for another J.O.B.

I mean if you have a plucky dog sidekick and solve crimes maybe, but sitting in your own waste drinking meths? Not so much.

From what I've read, he didn't actually do that much, just sat there flatulantly shouting absolute gibberish while smarter people worked around him. Which I imagine you do in a similar manner on the sofa: "KILL ALL MILLENIALS. FUCK. ELECTRIC DINOSAURS. WHISKEY. BASTARD." What I'm saying is you've wasted your talents. |

The wee flap thing is supposed to stick in the indent - but it didn't. Generally I find the traditional hole already in lid takeaway cup far superior.
And why don't they crisp the bacon in the mcmuffins?
I tweeted them this morning to ask that very question but they've not deigned to answer. Perhaps their social media team have run it up the flagpole to Ronald himself?

To be fair, its only one millennial I want to kill, the others in the department are actually quite good. Well....tolerable anyway.
If I had been Hitler in another life then how would you explain all....oh...oh

This is the 21st century MrTiddles - sort yourself out. I do not consider watching Bakeoff a threat to my masculinity. Naturally, I do get lagered up and make a few gags about buns and baps just to be on the safe side. |

I just find the format of shows like Masterchef, Bake-Off, The Apprentice and Strictly Cum Dancing inherently dull after a while.
You have no idea how good the food actually is.
The fake tension they create is annoying. you know that almost all the tension is created in editing or is pre-planned to create a 'narrative'.
Also these programmes favour loud mouthed gobshites. Most of the people on them I'd happily beat to death with a somewhat inefficent tool.
