Chatterbox Tuesday.

Good morning,
I am still working, and I have had zero boozes today.

Fucking bollocks.

No games.

I'd like to see various politicians taking that quiz to see whether they have been paying attention.

Something tells me Trump's score would most likely be around -19.

7/14 - Verdict: "You really couldn't give a shit."

No, that's Bany.

Faceless

Pro work tip. Fuck it. Sack it the fuck off. Unless you are a doctor or bus driver. Or you work for parcelforce, in which case where the fuck is my crate of Brew Dogs you bastard?

I've shaved the 'tache off. I've gone from this..



To this:-




Sterling work, I'm sure you will agree..

But you were there, Tids. Don't you remember?

You are quite right, Festry54, quite right.

[EDIT] Apparently you are not, Tenthen has exposed you for the fraud that you are.

How I spent the last days:

1. I single-handedly brought back consumer confidence and saved the economy by spending lots of time and money on distracting and amusing the grandchildren, particularly the eldest granddaughter, who is understandably getting a bit fidgety. Researched bicycles, then found out at the last minute before ordering one that her parents had already bought her one second hand. Only complain from her was that it wasn't very "girly". I sympathise. For my fifth birthday I wished for nothing more than a bicycle in my favourite colour, green. For months I drew pictures of green bicycles until my parents unveiled the new bike as a birthday surprise.

What colour was it?

Bright orange.
(Still loved it.)

2. So instead of the bicycle we bought her a raspberry pink scooter. Then managed to get a pre-order in for a trampoline. Within minutes the seller had taken enough pre-orders for these things to sell out in advance on their next delivery in roughly two weeks time. Rough times and bailouts for large parts of the economy but trampoline manufacturers have clearly hit the jackpot.

3. After this success I feel emboldened to shoot for the stars by waiting for the Animal Crossing special edition Switch to come back in stock so that the grandchildren can also learn the basics of capitalism through play. Wish me luck.

4. Speaking of which, at the end of the weekend I unlocked terraforming on my island. What have you ever done?

No animal neighbour will be now be safe from getting marooned in their house surrounded by a shark infested ocean. 

(shark goes for up to 15,000 Bells in Nook's Cranny)

5. On Sunday evening I took part in the now customary social distancing stream. This time we played Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. Clearly they got Andy Serkis to sign up to the project by telling him that he's going to look really buff on screen. The game is entertaining enough although a bit too linear for my taste, but more than once Trip, the companion character, got stuck in some kind of glitch that made it impossible to progress without reloading the last save point. Tripped up the game, so to speak.

Someone in the chat remarked on how much The Last of Us owns to Journey to the West. I haven't played The Last of Us but I can imagine that there's definitely an influence.

Will those waiting for The Last of Us 2 be able to avoid spoilers after the massive story leaks by an (allegedly) disgruntled Naughty Dog employee?

Yes! I've finally managed to order a set of hair-clippers!

No more looking like Kevin-fuckin-Keagan, whoever that is.

Edit: Destry, I did not scalp your clippers. Mine are from Philips directly, not some shady eBay character.

That was pre-lockdown.

My current hair-predicament is much like an old CRT TV with chunky speakers on each side. I'm constantly blowing it out of my eyes.
