Trump fails to get into Hall of Fame 
'US President Donald Trump said he would not allow protesters to "tear down" history in a speech marking 4 July celebrations at Mount Rushmore. Mr Trump vowed to defend monuments to America’s “heroes” from “angry mobs”. “Their legacy will never be destroyed,” he declared.'
BBC News - Trump's divisive, narcissistic demagoguery has managed to create the preconditions for The Last of U.S. ... |

Happy spoons and haircut day. I won't be doing either but might set a chair outside the front door and offer haircuts when drunk later, nothing could go wrong?

And today sees the return of the chat up line...
To which the Box response will be "Dr Bashir, hell will freeze over before MINE opens for you" |

There's no beer coming in the Asda shop and I've just been stung on the foot by a wasp in the bathroom. Fuck you 2020.
Games. A wee bit of TD2
TV. Started 'The Good Wife'

Worst chat up lines you've ever heard (including your own). My selection: 1. I think you're gorgeous... 2. You can invade me any time 3. What's your birth sign? 4. Sorry about the noise here, shall we go somewhere quiet? 5. Can I buy you a drink? Comments 1. Only works when she's drunk 2. She WAS drunk 3. Really common and leads to a weird, meaningless shouted convo that rarely works and ensures that you get a LOT of personal space ... 4. Such a creepy line... 5. Might work, but it's a bummer when she turns around and shouts to all her mates (if you're lucky - it could include a) her boyfriend, b) husband, c) the bar) Chumbles is buying... |

I've never used a chat up line, I've never needed to do so. What's wrong with having a nice conversation?

I've never used a chat up line, I've never needed to do so. What's wrong with having a nice conversation? Bully for you. That's because you were captured early by Mrs Tids... Having a "nice conversation" in a crowded, noisy pub is nearly impossible. And when everyone in your peer group is either already hooked up or even stranger and nerdy than you are (they do exist!) (AND your work colleagues are out of bounds) means trying to meet women your own age who are unattached for 'reasons' is extremely difficult - just trying to have a "nice conversation" raises red flags - you're gun shy and so are they. The most successful chat up line used on me was "I need a hug"; it worked big time on me. |

Chat up lines? Oh god, are you those sex people I've heard about? Yuck.
What's wrong with looking sorry for yourself until someone takes pity on you and decides you should live with them?

Dr Bashir = DS9's resident sex-pest. Have started rewatching DS9 as there are only so many times you can rewatch TNG* Times have certainly changed. An early episode has Sisko just grab Kira by the elbow and fling her round to face him like some 50s broad when they're having an arguement about her professionalism. Yeah, she's the unprofessional one mate. Straight to Space HR. Sure as shit he never did that to o'Brien.** *this is a lie ** o'Brien would have knocked him out to be fair "feckin take me by the feckin arm would yez?!" *clatter* |

Morning all.
I have single-handedly been unable to convince my son that he really does want to go out on his bike on this damp and grey day.
The compromise we've landed on is to go out after lunch, when the weather may be much, much worse.
Gamesblog: Skyrim! And I have Destruction up to 80!
Went and visited a cave west of Solitude, and murderised a bunch of bandits. It was most cathartic.
TVblog: my *%#$^*% television decided the Netflix was going to keep displaying an "error -100" message, despite happily playing the previews of anything I hovered over... a hard reset was required, and then all was fine.
Sony, I'm not buying another one of your Android-powered "smart" TVs.
Amigablog: carried on putting together a custom ROM for a future bit of system optimisation.
Oh, and new Sweet Content should be available at some point this weekend.

amipalOof. You've not fallen for the "after lunch" line? Mysteriously after lunch the child will not want to go out as they wanted to go out in the morning.

Shit chat up lines that work somehow:
A friend of mine used to grab some ice from the bar, walk over to the table where his mammal of choice was sat, sit down and crush the ice. The he would retort "now that we've broken the ice..."
I never once saw it fail to work, and he had a face like a builders thumb.

Hi.
Games? No
Telly? Not that I can remember.
Ottm? I had an anxiety dream last night about being in the politics section of my local independent bookshop and getting crowded by people passing by at less than 2 metre distance. I definitely need to slow down on my artisanal gin consumption before bed.
