Talking about PC launchers, I may have mentioned this, but if you have Xbox Game Pass , you get The Outer Worlds included. |

Morning all.
Despite expectations there were no eco-warriors glued to my car this morning, and my house remains un-egged. Lightweights.
Today is my Monday so no work - huzzah! Elite has forced a dowmload/upgrade on me, which means it has crashed every 10 minutes since. Currently only 15000 lightyears from home, and barrelling down the neutron highway between repairs and reboots.
breakfast - lemsip + honey
Lunch - leftover shepherd pie
tea - baked potato and ting
that is all
back to work you lot

I could really hoover up a shepherds pie right now. Anything meaty really.

Gamesblog - Amigablog really. Tried playing Ishar, a French/German dungeon-crawler RPG, but couldn't get the hang of it. So chucked that in a played Syndicate instead. Syndicate is bloody brilliant. I still get my car-load of agents exploderised in the third mission, even after all these years. Syndicate is top 5 Amiga GOAT. I think there was a cheat for full stats and weapons. Even with that I could never do the atlantic accelerator mission. |

What's happened to Fortnite? There was a meteor, loads of internet frenzy, now it's down for a bit? Is there a new island on the way? From what I have read on the news, it's an end of season 10 extravaganza and some hints for 11. (BBC news entertainment section). I don't play but sympathies to all. still not whole, dry sniffles and phlegm, Bloody weather/dust/pollution etc.. Kane out |

Cheese and onion pasty.
I do not appear to be ill or a zombie, unlike most of the rest of you.
Fortnite have come up with an innovative marketing thing, eh?
Edit: interesting article about Tricky at the Other Place, if you find that sort of thing interesting.

How would you know if you were a zombie?
The act of turn is likely to limit self-reflection (much like becoming a vampire).
Presumably zombies, so far as they have views, view themselves as normal.

I'm reading reports about the latest developments in Syria and I'm just feeling so exhausted with worry again. I thought the misery had ended, but of course the orange idiot had to inflict more pain on this battered region.
I've been to some of the places that are in the news now, Jerablus, Tel Abyad and Qamishli. You could spit across the border into Turkey from there. A beautiful landscape in spring with soil soaked in history.
Many years ago the Preferred Mammal and I were making retirement plans. We were seriously considering moving to Syria. Then it all kicked off.
What this shows is that the US president has powers that many dictators can only dream off. Checks and balances my foot.

The real place to go was the Halfway House (now sadly a terrible bar called the Green House) on the edge of Sutton Coldfield. It was a pleasant if unremarkable pub.
It was the closest pub to my parents from 1996, though I first went there in the late 1980s.
Silky, Ronarid & Lazybones were regulars, while Shenguin even had a job there. I am sure there was someone else who frequented it as well.
Apart from me knowing Shenguin none of us knew the others. Though there must have been evenings about 2000 when there were 5 or 6 future bloggers all drinking away the abyss.
Alright, we've all had a drink, now calm yourself the fuck down Knausgaard with your autobiographical struggles and dissolute drinking.
I think maybe mlu035rsc may have occasionally visited as well.
--------------------
Missed this as was ill Thursday and Friday and off sick and I don't really use the laptop unless at work. Yes, been to the Halfway (now yucky Green) House many an occasion over the years, used to be our regular New Years Eve haunt. Heard yesterday my friend Emma has had to close her two restaurants in Birmingham, sad times.
Ganes: Nothing of note as was too poorly to play.
OTTM: Am still ill but back at work. Send help.

What I am taking from this is faced with the risk of TenthEnemy settling the Syrians preferred to destroy their country. It makes the UK simply opting for Brexit seem quite restrained in comparison.

What country should I mess up next?
I could turn this into a lucrative business. Maybe the CIA will be interested.

I am assuming Sheeps wrote the orginal post embedded in Mlu's post that I am referring to in my post.
I'd forgoteen about Knausgaard, that was two weeks of my life I'll never get back. I see he is still gracing the literary world with his genius.

Christ knows how you're supposed to complete that one. |
