Just reading about this "brexit" thing. Holy shit. When did that happen?
Games. GTA deliveries.
TV. Last of S1 Community and a Modern Family.
Running late and we've a staff meeting at 9am. Gonna get there about 0905. Baws.
{Edit}on the plus side - an eejit I work with just got on my train. He's the slowest walker I've ever encountered and will be at least 5 mins later than me the shuffling bastard. Ker-ching!
I'm not being unduly unkind - he is able bodied - he just wanders round like a 50something huffy teenager.

Quiet in here this morning . . . Probably for the best.
Finally had some 'toxic' players on Overwatch last night. Thankfully they lost 80% of the time so couldn't gloat too often. Kept getting pinned as the Yeti in the Christmas matches. Managed one win, but otherwise I was terrible. So much for the easy 3 loot boxes this week. The itch goes unscratched, for now. Anyway, if all else fails, I have plenty of WoW gold to transfer.
Also tried out 'Below' on game pass. The combination of cold tablets, a beer and the terribly relaxing music/ gameplay meant I fell asleep on the second level. Pro tip, don't game whilst laying down.

Hi! Last night was the first time I hit the bottle because of Brexit. It's really stopped being fun (Brexit, not the heavy drinking). Mainly spent the evening watching the details of a football match update every 5 minutes on the BBC website. Not as glacial as watching a match on Ceefax, but not far off.
Games? No.
TV? No.
Ottm? Tonight I am accompanying a friend to see a band called Clutch live in Glasgow. I am not overly familiar with their oeuvre, but I expect to be deaf this time tomorrow.

Morning all.
Rolling: I believe Clutch are one of those "rock" bands they have these days. I have heard them on Planet Rock anyway.
More Ash vs Evil Dead last night. Silly, gory fun.
Also another episode of Lost in Space - fun fact: Bill Mumy is in the opening episode.
I also installed High Sierra on my partner's 2010 MacBook Air. At one point, it rebooted to a black screen during the installation and let out a blood-curdling BEEEEEP. Both of us looked askance in fear.
But it eventually completed successfully. Huzzah!

I've not listened to any of their albums, but saw them at a festival once and from what I can remember they were pretty decent.
Good morning.
Last night I attempted to play some RDR but somehow managed to fall asleep while doing so. One moment Arthur Morgan was galloping off on his next adventure, the next he was stood by a lake having apparently died while I slept.
Cool story bro.

Can't say I'd heard of them till recently, and they are a bit heavier than the maudlin middle-aged types I usually listen to, but I did buy their new album as homework and it's most enjoyable, eg www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtZGAEUaHz4 |

Tonight I am accompanying a friend to see a band called Clutch live in Glasgow. I am not overly familiar with their oeuvre, but I expect to be deaf this time tomorrow. The trouble with Brexit is not just Brexit, but everything else. The Brexit obsession has facilitated and helped to cause significant deterioration to public services and to the plight of the poorest and weakest in society. As a nation, we've done everything we can to fuck ourselves, even before Brexit is taken into account. We now live in a society that is less fair, more cruel, and more blind to its own problems. The social infrastructure (NHS, social services, council services, education, public transport) that would help us address that is cut to the quick, and lacks the financial stability that would allow it to recover, and as a country we are more exposed to any global financial problems. The Brexit debate has served as a cloak to allow that to happen; in much the same way that austerity did before it. The economic far right who long for disruption, small government and big business, have effectively won Brexit, even if the country now sees sense and decides to remain. Even if we have another referendum and vote to remain, we've already lost so many battles. Heads they win, tails the rest of us lose. I've been blaming Brexit for my drinking for quite a long time now. Another message of festive joy this time tomorrow. |

The worst thing about Brexit is that it enables Shenguin's ranting.

Fuck cooperative games - I must have a target painted on my back... stabbed by 5 people (loosely speaking) in 3 games most of whose forces are going to crisp, fry, shrivel and die, but like an aging, giant colossus, throw enough pygmies with shit for brains and one of them will topple me...
Oh god of gamers, why have you cursed me with a mind that won't let me quit - "Because you would be dead by now if I hadn't." Oh...

Out my meeting.
The huffy teenager brought two unaffordable, unworkable ideas. Tremendous.
Saucer of milk for Crank for his...
Christmas lunch in a bit. Two pint limit as I'm out tonight to a friend's.

Hi
Still working away and living like some bloody tramp in a lay-by.
After watching some of Love Actually last night I really need to balance out my macho equilibrium. I'm thinking either wrestle the biggest guy in the office or chop down a tree.
Games - nil

I’m wrigglimg from home all week, top stuff. I may even have a cheeky BFV later.
Games - that pokemans. It’s easy enough to play as a brain dead and as a brain dead myself that works out great. Also saw dreams bad as beta today, but after watching it quickly I remembered that much like little big planet it isn’t actually fun, unless you enjoy spending hours making a bad game that lasts about thirty seconds.
I feel like I should have a gaming rxtreanfnd one of these days but I don’t actually have any time food work except for the days when we will be celebrating Christ with the outlaws. Everythings coming inf idown takny

Danky there, proving that playing too many games in too short a time really does fuck your brain.
Also, Scubes, it's act FAST. Your welcum.

I presumed Scubar didn't want Danky to act FAST. Just wanted him to lie there wondering if it is a hangover or a stroke.

Blllblllbllll.
So much for games. Trust me, you don't want my reaction to Brexit.
Yesterday was all about Christmas travel plans. The eldest granddaughter has come down with chickenpox in a timely manner to ensure that her sibling will probably be contagious by Christmas. Still, they've decided to come. I will miss the excitement and will be staying with my brother before embarking on the journey to my mum's secret volcano island with him.
Nothing says Christmas like escaping from infectious diseases.

Poor Mr Tent Rooster. Shards of frozen lasagne picked up from the kitchen floor will be his only festive meal.
