Between naps I have been playing Civ IV/ffh. I also rage quit from an NP game for the first time where my 'ally' LIED to me: coordinates joint attack, my guys attack while his piss off elsewhere leaving me defending our mutual border. That might well ensure his victory me second; I called him an idiot. The lie was unnecessary and stupid as I provided most of the tech. After he fucking LOLLED at me, saying if I wanted to be second I'd have to defend. I called him a cunt and sent all my carriers into his territory and quit. For want of a bit of sense and a conciliatory approach he's converted a win into nothing. I'll lose but I am happy to fuck him up and stop grinding out a victory for a right tosser.  |

Is anyone else listening to this? Johnson sounds totally unhinged. I think he could be having a stroke.

Well, thanks to a monumental fuck up last night (not mine), I've spent all morning dealing with very angry people.
With this, BJ as PM and three night shifts still to go I'm not in the best of moods. If you see the news about a body being found in the Tees, it's very likely me.
Don't celebrate too much.
Actually, it's BDT, go for it.

You need to sabotage the hot water. In this heat? How's that going to work? |

Morning everyone.
I've been in work since half seven. It's not cool, in either sense.

Hello all.
Hot, init?
I've just had a Pieminister Moo pie for lunch. It was twice the price of the Pukka pie I had last week, and I don't think it tasted any better. In fact, I think I preferred the Pukka pie.
4*

I haven't read anything that wrong since scubar said NV was better than Fallout 3.
Edit: the above statement could just as easily relate to the pie, or the rain.

We've got the haar here on the east coast. It's probably really hot 25 metres up, but it's still coldish and misty at ground level.

I may well end up wiggling today having forgotten to take my medication due to a fault on the trains yesterday. All lines are now clear.
They got there ahead of me with the whole hot water thing - used it all up over night so I had a cold shower this morning. Fortunately it was relatively welcome given the inclement weather.
Things are looking up now though, watching Boris Johnson being roasted in this weird shiny green chaired room. presumably some kind of posh-o ritual. bit odd. Bring out the pig!

johnson. n. "penis," 1863, perhaps related to British slang John Thomas, which has the same meaning (1887).

DUMBLEDORE ALIVE AND WELL!
Shows young muggle gamer how to play:
The Royal Game of Ur
Suspected use of Hermione’s Time-Turner; Ministry of Magic informed
No action expected though as the Aurors are currently busy trying to ascertain what foul magicks were employed to get the deranged BoJo Bouncer Boris elected Prime Meddler - a fresh wing at Azkerban is being constructed in order to accommodate the crew of liars, misfits and malignant halfwits that the Bouncer has ushered into the Cabinet.)
(it's a bit long, so probably nsfw)

Has everyone melted yet? To die of thirst on BDT, what a fate.
Rain: make sure you have enough to go around, because I haven't seen a single drop yet.*
Games: in answer to Felice's question about my wish list, I had apparently 167 games on it, of which 45 were on sale, but some of those are future releases.
As a way of explanation for that number, have you seen the E-shop?! Nobody can find anything there. So I regularly go through new releases and anything that mildly 🗻🗻 my interest I put on the wish list to check out if it goes on sale. If it's cheap enough I'll check it out more thoroughly, look for reviews etc.
Buoyed by the prospect of recovering my 85 quid parking fine I got half price Steins;Gate Elite and (for nostalgia's sake) the Dragon's Lair trilogy; 30% off Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice; and 80% off Syberia 3.
In Dragon Quest Builders I wasted a lot of energy trying to reach the top of a certain tall building. I finally made it, only to find that there was nothing there. This is the problem with Breath of the Wild: it conditions you to expect the developers to have put little surprises and rewards everywhere. Also very irritating that you can't just climb everything like in BOTW (unless it rains, of course). Now I'm back on track for the completion of my mission.
*Does not apply to my BDT commitment.

(it's a bit long, so probably nsfw) Ah, you know that's my friend Irving and he had that beard (which, I can confirm, feels amazing when he greets you with a kiss) long before Dumbledore came on the scene.* But he is, of course, a genuine wizard. *I don't have a picture handy, but he modelled himself on the Assyriological pioneer Theophilus Pinches, who, like Irving, worked in the British Museum. Pinches was sacked from his post when he refused to answer the phone because it interrupted his studies. Irving has the same radical approach to his email; he once told me that his method for dealing with a full inbox after coming back from a holiday is SELECT ALL -> DELETE. |
