There was a wee popup youth orchestra doing '500 Miles' in this shopping centre.
It was tremendous.
First listen of 'A Christmas Gift For You' is overdue for this year I think.

I'm aware the proclaimers aren't on that album.
Just to clear that up.

I've been blastin' the crud off the driveway using my Kärcher this afternoon. Due to my hand being in a pistol-like-grip for over an hour, the tendons in my forearm now feel like RollingEscargot's "gaming arm". |

I've never been to Cornwall. Or Devon. I like cream tea, though.* I've been to almost every other part of this island. Games: Speaking of visiting various British regions, Nintendolife recently had a nice article explaining to Americans what the various locations in Pokemon Sword and Shield are based on www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/11/feature_pokemon_sword_and_shield_what_uk_locations_are_the_towns_in_galar_based_onI continue on my quest to catch them all. Last night I finally understood that eeveelutions through stones only work if one uses the stone on the Eevee, not by having it holding the stone. Instant Leafeon and Vaporeon! I already had an Espeon but now got a Sylveon by applying some tlc.  (Sorry. That graphic is more of an explanation what I'm on about. Most of the time I'm not living on a prayer.) TV: The Crown. OTTM: Found out this morning that relatives live in three of 50 seats that could benefit from tactical voting on Thursday, sent out Whatsup and text messages to the relevant family members. *Jam first, Cornish style. I'm sorry if I'm offending anyone. |

Cornwall is terrible. As is Devon. Your face is terrible. What are your views on Dorset? Dorset is fine. It benefits from favourable comparisons to the counties it borders. |

TBF you live in the south of England. In the time it takes you to get here you could be on the Italian Riviera. You can't understand them speaking either. I did Cornwall - near to Newquay at a very swanky 5 star Egon Ronay Hotel with my companion for a week on the coast back in the early 2000s. It was just short hop from Watergate Bay, beautiful area. I looked it up the other day and in less than 15 years it looks like the Hotel has gone into the sea, the Bay is still there though. Mr. Tiddles you could also go to Jersey or Guernsey from where you are in the South. |

Far and away the worst thing about Devon and Cornwall is that they are attractive to cockneys and fake cockneys.
Nothing ruins a place quite like it crawling with south-easterners all Summer.

Best place in Devon is Beer. I have been to the Beer Quarry to see Beer being mined. An emotional experience.
I then went and had a beer in Beer.
I have been to other places, but they were not Beer.

Whenever I think of South Africans, I think of this:-

I can't envisage a real South African who would be fazed by anything as piddling as 25 beers or who would describe an Islington curry as "really strong".
These are people who put battery acid into the homebrew to give it a bit of zing.

Talking of South Africans. The baddies in Titanfall2 I've just ran into were mercenaries who all had South African accents. Bit 80s action film that.
I'm going to need to play pc games with kB/mouse as I won't be able to remember two different sets of buttons in two games at once. I realise this is the preferred option anyway. Damn you addled brain.

Up until Friday, I worked with a South African called Matt.
Matt never dialled in to our teleconferences, but we always had a "Mitt" on the line.

Somehow I survived Escape to the Shat-oh, and am now going through Curious Droid's channel on YouTube.

Oh, and sorry you lost your job. I'm sure that another employer out there is looking for an Amiga-lovin' youtubin' photo-shootin' layabout to pay good money for very little put-put. You'll be fine.
