Was never the case for me growing up. Bungalow bliss houses. Front door was for An Post or the more formal adults. Everyone else went to the back door

In good company. I remember a u-ziq gig where some of the audience tried to get the bouncers to take him off the stage.

Maybe in the future getting punched in the face will be the way to get ahead

Such a good film. And I was delighted to find that version where the music wasn’t cut. So many great bits but I was fascinated by the stuff about the sound systems in youth clubs and town halls

"Helluva lotta work building a motte and bailey castle"
"Keep on top of it?"
"That's the standard design, yes"

So distinctively her sound as well - the voice, the time signatures. A real joy

this is why i tell people to try ready-to-wear first. custom is risky bc you can be out here railing against "white hippies and communists," but your tailor has you looking crazy without a breast pocket.

Strange to see how little light there was from it, after last weekend

Jesus, it’s formatted like a graph and it says Verified at the top. What more are you looking for?

Oh yeah. I spent a lot of time looking at the boxes in the video library. Or the horror novels in bookshop. Watched and read none, and I’m pretty sure I didn’t sleep for a few years

Sounds about right. When I wasn’t having nightmares about nuclear apocalypse, I was having nightmares about that short film.

Oh yeah. War Games, definitely. In my memory I was about 10, but I’d need to check.

Also preface by a really disturbing short film that I think @ianmoore3000.bsky.social also saw - a sort of possession/haunting/murder vibe.

Great days

I came home from seeing Wargames in the cinema, to sit down with my parents for the end of The Day After. (Not recently, when I was a child.)

You’ve got to keep reading the articles Keith. Otherwise imagine how foolish you’ll feel when they publish the article that really has The One Trick

You need to sign up to the premium cyber scam tier to get that personal touch. Totally worth it though

Talking the June weather down. Did you learn nothing from the inevitable economic collapse of 2008?

This is like a nature documentary about the battle for supremacy between two magnificent lions, except instead of magnificent lions, it's half-bald rats and one of the rats is off its tits on ketamine.
