Gotta love plane delays; my stupid o'clock arrival in Brizzle is now going to be stupid o'clock +1

Charging my implant is still uncomfortable, but a warm Moroccan evening with lashings of G&T helps!

Or you could have been listening to the entire Alice In Chains album "The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here"

Utopia Must Fall - genuinely the best game I've played on any platform all year; it's got that "just one more try" feel absolutely nailed.

/me answers phone call: "I've seen your profile on LinkedIn, please add my number to WhatsApp so I can contact you about it" *click*

Guessing this is some new kind of bizarre scam.

Shame the call came from a private number...

Love this album; it's one I come back to over and over again. To be honest, his run of albums from Wireless to Astronauts and Heretics is practically flawless

Arse; got it in my head that I'd give Cholo a blast this evening, but the ZIP is missing the executable

Your remakes of Imogen and Cholo were superb (both favourites of mine on the Beeb) - must play them again

Maybe David Icke was right, and people who like the heat are actually lizard people in disguise...

On holiday right now; the work profile on my phone has been paused and won't be enabled until my current time off is complete

This (outside of the USA) is totally normal behaviour

Many, many moons ago, my son picked up a [number]th Birthday Card in a shop and loudly announced "See Dad, these are the cards you get when you die"

Why have we normalised young children being 'entertained' on public transport with tablets / phones blasting nursery rhymes at full volume?

Watched WOM the other day, and my takeaway was that it was a great episode, but that bloody "gadget gadget" robot was seriously annoying. In much the same way that the "polish polish" robot was in "The Robot Revolution".

I remember the brief 15 minute period back in the latter half of the 90's when VRML was going to be the next big thing
