You want to get in there before they start a new $49.99 a month renunciation-status subscription. Fail to make a payment and they take you back.
McDonald’s breakfast, low winter sun, crossword.
My dad coming home on a Monday evening was always special, as he’d have the Sunday papers.
Walked past here many a time as part of day walks or short breaks from London. To be honest, it's the main thing I miss about the city - getting out of it and onto the Downs or the coast.
I’m sure this is common knowledge for everyone else, but if you haven’t read the account here of Orson Welles playing chase with a Findus frozen peas guy around Europe…
"and the manosphere stuff just mobilises them, it doesn't persuade new people." - I'm not sure we can 'just' that away, it's kind of a big thing, and it doesn't seem impossible that it IS persuading new people. Certainly school teachers seem worried? How sanguine can we be about this mobilisation?
There's possibly some accessibility or cross-browser/device reason for this I'm not aware of.
Curious about why they mess with right click behaviour. On the Filmhouse, there's no way I can see, on desktop browser, to just open a bunch of tabs from the homepage. Right click on the image and all you can do is look at the image in another tab. Right click on the listing time does nothing.
Glasgow's GFT and Edinburgh Filmhouse both do this. Prince Charles in London doesn't. I'm just going to have to go to London.
Are you some kind of web designer? Have you created a site for a cinema or theatre where it's not possible to right click and open a number of listing pages in new tabs, so customers can consider what they might want to see? Why?
Was thinking a couple of days ago a Chinese naval peacekeeping force might keep the oil flowing. Didn't (and don't) think it'll actually happen, but... interestingly fecked-up times we live in. The idea of having PLN boats sailing back and forth within waving distance of all those US bases...
Princes St MacDonalds at the weekend? Braver man than I am.
Shouldn't have eaten so much Easter egg all at once.
Working this weekend, which is annoying as the weather looks good today at least, but a) could have avoided this if I'd skipped my usual Fridays off this last fortnight and b) I'm off, almost certainly, for the next three weeks. Hey ho.
I love those places. Tea or coffee, cup or a mug. Those are the toughest choices we should be making before breakfast.
And 8am breakfast? That’s lunchtime almost.
Okay, one of the grapes… as I said, drinker, not understander.
“planted heavily during Prohibition in California for export to the East Coast. Its thick skin made it resistant to rot during the transportation process. The intense red color was also helpful for stretching the wine during prohibition, as it could be diluted without detracting from the appearance”
Loving this wine from Lidl. I’m much more of a wine drinker than a wine understander, but this hits a dark and smoky sweet spot. The grape has a fun wiki bio. One moment…
So my shopping bag tells me. Only half way done.
Beyond today’s hunting grounds, I fear. Trawling Leith Walk.
Which shop? I’m out CD hunting…
They should put insects on the banknotes, then use different regional names for them. Cue constant arguments.
"Lend us a slater, mate?"
"A what?"
"You know, a fiver."
"Sod off, that's a cheeselog. Anyway, you still owe me a forkietail from the pub last week."
Curry. Got to make sure it's not in there too long or it'll go to mush. We've liked this.
Although... is it just a spicy soup. And once you mix it all up with the rice is it just...
I’m seriously looking at “spaghetti à la baked beans” for lunch and even for me that’s sad.
Lunch options are limited. Enthusiasm for going to shop in this weather more limited.
I just about manage to scroll past these without punching the screen by telling myself he's a distant and inadequate heir to the Diary of a Nobody tradition. It's not a very compelling argument though, so I have to scroll quickly and try really hard not to remember who he's married to.

Put it back into the dinosaurs. March dinosaurs to nearest safe oil terminal. Get it back out. May take some time. Oil's dinosaurs, right?
And yet...
