I love a bit of Spiral. The biggest problem I have is that I mostly watch telly while painting or building so its hard to keep up since my French is, as they would say, bollocks.
Games: GT Sport.
Saturday: grp 1 race at Interlagos. Raced there 9 times. Got pole 6 times, won 6 times (4 in a row too), though one of them was from second place. I was on one with that car and track, really locked in.
Sunday: There was something hinky with their servers yesterday. Couldn't log in initially, then got disconnected before the first race.
Nothing of real note to report. Qualified 12th and finished 7th in a grp 3 race, a very fair race too, lots of close racing and no bumper cars.
Work: im here in body, but ive already checked out spiritually

Yes it's very linear but the stories are great. No, not chatterbox - Uncharted. If anything that's the exact opposite of the Chatterbox |

Did I ever tell you my great grandfather was killed by a Zulu?
He was taking a shit at Whipsnade and the roof caved in.
POW! Take that Baby.

He's swiftly approaching the end of his probation period, its safe to say that fucking up a study by not doing the things he had said he had done, 2 days before the main experiment, is grounds to ditch the twat.
Pretty sure in stuck with the fucker though, my bosses are soft as fuck when it comes to getting rid of idiots.
I'm still here after all.

Hi
I've had to take over the one and only study that was given to the millennial because he was on the verge of ballsing it up.
The sweet taste of vindication. Or cruelty...either way, fuck him.

Yo
Our network is still down, 4 days into this now. It's getting to the point where I'm now fairly sure they'll use this as an excuse for a round of redundancies.
"Sorry, we lost too much money, get out"
Played some GT Sport, two horrible races, one where I clearly had a much slower car than everyone else and just got mugged on every straight.
Second race was just full of dirty bastards with no class at all.
We watched Rogue One again last night, great film. Bit choppy at the start but certainly superior to the two other new ones.

The new crop of films are just as bad as the prequels. While this is hyperbole of the highest order, its certainly true they are not as good as the originals. Ive enjoyed them, but the last one had too much overt comedy, it didn't feel very Star Warsy. On the other hand, I thought Rogue One was brilliant. |

is it true they are exhibiting the Bayeux Tapestry at Amipal's house, which Sean Bean narrating the tale? "'Eres some French bastards. You can see 'ere some lad getting 'is John Thomas sliced In twain. Some more French bastards. This is a specific French bastard, not sure which one. That's episode one done, next week, some more French bastards. Later bastards" |

Aren't policemen young these days?
Hi!
We played A Feast for Odin again last night, I didn't win this time as I was experimenting with how to get the best points combos going. I think ive cracked it for the next time we play. The key appears to be to get the higher islands and spam the resources on them. You can thank me for that info later.
Had one race on GT Sport, a gp3 championship race at Interlagos
Started 11th, was up to 8th on the 2nd lap when, as usual, I got spun out by some twat then I fucked it on the back straight trying to recover and went down to 16th.
I eventually recovered to 9th but it was a "what could have been race" as a top 3 finish was a possibility.
Even at safety rating S there are too many twats.

Crank, The cheating isn't entirely penis-waving, some of it is economic. PUBG rewards players with Battleground Points. The more damage you inflict and the more kills you get, the more Points you accrue. These points can be used to purchase Pioneer Crates which contain cosmetic clothing items. The more expensive the crate you buy, the more 'exclusive' the clothing. The clothing can then be sold for real cash-money in any number of digital marketplaces around the internet. The more 'exclusive' or desirable the clothing, the more you can charge. So literally everything that's wrong with modern gaming? Excellent. |

Yo
No work today. Our entire IT system was FUBAR yesterday, and today is is still SNAFU.
I intended to take today off anyway, for two reasons
1: one of the industry regulators is in today and one day I will get found out. Today is not that day.
2: we went for a meal and a late movie and I didn't fancy an early start.
Movie chat: we went to see 3 Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri.
What.a.film.
I laughed, I cried. A genuinely brilliant film. Sack off work RIGHT NOW and go see it. Wolfy and Scub have the advantage in this regard.

Destry, I've jumped further back in time to 1980. Alf just lost Renee in a car crash and has moved Deidre into the shop flat. If only he knew what a viper he'd invited into his ample bosom. There's an entertainer in the white house, a mad right wing bitch at number 10, europe hates us and the Russians are involved in an unwinnable war in the desert. How can you tell that you've time traveled? |

Did you know....? The ampersand (&) and asperand (@) signs are both ligatures, i.e a binding of two or more letters into one. The ampersand is a representation of the letters 'e' and 't', from the Latin word 'et' meaning 'and' The asperand was created originally by accountants, from the first letters of the words “at” and “each” (the part circle around the “a” stands for the “e” in “each". More fun facts this time next week. Don't stop. |

It's just a pun between a mode of transport and German applied political philosophy of the era. I tried to be offended, but couldn't manage it. Plus, it's Socky, he seems to get a pass when it comes to being a bit off-colour. Sweet joke explanation, making the assumption that I'm a wrong headed idiot who doesnt get humour. I mean you're not wrong, so its hard to be offended. |

Good morning. I woke up to the news that the company I work for has gone into liquidation. Yes, it’s that company. At least unemployment will give me a chance to catch up on games and tv. Condolences. Do you and Wolfy work for the same company? Our IT systems are fooooked today. No email, no intranet. Luckily we DO have the internet. Because priorities, right? |

We're doomed as a species. I've come to not only accept that, but actively embrace it. The sooner we're done, the better it will be and the next lot that drag themselves out of the dirt can hopefully learn from our bullshit.
I'm thinking maybe sentient lobsters, though they'd probably struggle with ties.
