Got an Frankenstein monster half new and half old rolling stock train this morning, my usual tactical platform positioning placed me smack bang in the middle of the old banger, rather than at my usual seat. To be fair these seats are marginally more comfortable than the very rigid newer ones, but the ergonomics for using a laptop are appalling. Its almost as if they were designed when laptops didn't exist.
In other news:
Games - no
Game of Thrones/UK parliament - tremendous
Watching other people play games - Blair witch. Looks like they slapped a witchy skin on a random horror game. Wowcraft classic - looks oddly appealing.

Simon & Garfunkel, a precursor to Morrisey. Why not listen to The Monkees instead? Cheer yourselves up a bit.
What are we doing?

If it is known that a test match will be interrupted by rain then why not begin play at 10am or even 9am? Cricket wankers that's why. The early morning conditions would often favour swing bowlers excessively. Plus who wants to watch or play sport at 9am, especially at short notice? The idea is barbaric. So yeah, cricket wankers. |

Rowing for one, cyclists also seem to start early. Basically all the posh sports. So they can get out of the city while the riff raff are sleeping off their hangovers. Posh wankers. |

Match fishing too.

Golf. Although that's not really a sport. More like a cult.

Are any of those sport-like names euphemisms for masturbation?
If not, I'd like to add fell running to the list.

If one is to spend hours locked in a battle of wits against a fish, one might at least also swear like a ridiculous oaf. I grew up next to a big carp fishing set of match lakes. In the summer holidays a group of us teens used to arrive at 4.30 am and catch loads before it got too hot. Then we would moved on to small side pond while the matches took place at 9 am on the main lakes and finish at 3 pm. The match fisherman would struggle though as the heat of the day put the fish off. Then at exactly 3 pm as they match guys reeled in we would cast in and soon starting catching on top of the all the bait they chucked in and really mop as the evening arrived. I'll probably get back in to it when the kid's a little older although South Yorks is rubbish for fishing. |

Anyone excited about this? Another one for that back burner! There's so much coming out this autumn that I have lost pump for anything and everything due to sensory overload. Fortunately the Switch version will be a bit later anyway. Looks neat, although to my mind that kind of humour has been tainted by the Fallout 76 debacle. (I know the problem lies with Bethesda while Obsidian had nothing to do with it and has a good track record.) |

I'd just like the time and mental energy to get back into RDR2 or start DS3 or The Last Guardian.
Since the 11 y-o's friend (the shame, not even the 11 y-o) got a win on Fortnite solo, I haven't played it myself. The 11y-o keeps talking about skins and mechs and shit like that I don't want to know about. I just liked it as a simple jogging and hiding and dying sim.

Games: last night I obtained the magic pencil that lets me turn buildings into blueprints and made a paddock for my cows that keep multiplying as well as for tenthen, my only chicken.
Also murdered every single bunicorn that had the misfortune of crossing my path. I hear their desperate squeaks in my dreams. What kind of monster have I become?
OTTM: my copy of Private Eye arrived this morning and while the cover is good I bet they are kicking themselves for not being able to wait until last night before going to press.

My 10 year old nephew said they introduced the mechs to be more "noob-friendly" so this may finally be my chance. |

Just out a 4hr meeting. I was slouching like Jacob Rees Mogg by the end.
