I remember that image/poster so well. Used to be on bus stops while I trudged up to East Croydon station to get the train into work. This insane splash of colour within the grime.

Thanks Facebook 👍

it's a DATE (where are you sat? I'm in block 102 and it'd be nice to say hello over a ludicrously expensive drink in a paper cup)

Going on Wednesdayyyyyy

Four boxouts? Luxury! For GamesMaster we had to get out of the lake at six o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, write NINE BOXOUTS, write captions for 43 screenshots at mill for tuppence a word.

Then the editor would beat us around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were lucky!

Scottish people living down South, and Geography GCSE case studies on what went wrong also Dean. Don't be too harsh.

They're also not taking into account that you have to put the Condemned demo on every month to ensure that you always get an 18 rating which is less hassle.

Oh man, so much this. Google Family Link is genuinely brilliant, I find, and most people don't even know it exists - and a lot don't care either.

"enter"

That is such a Dorothea thing to say.

Walking into this room of absent friends is the closest thing a mortal can do to entering the afterlife without actually snuffing it. Feels like that, anyway.

This was brilliant, and very much made me want to tell you so - to the extent that I even jumped over here from the *other* place to do so! A real treat, and some great tales.

I know! I will return now, to the other place. The parallel world. Back to the vortex.

@rossignol.bsky.social came into Blue Sky to find you and say "Wow, that Sir! discussion on Parkin's podcast - what a thing!" What a lovely listen.

Fist of Fun... maybe?

I am also sure it was Big Train.

The dopamine. It hits.

Can I be arsed?

The eternal question.
