TV news: I’ve been watching the rebooted version of #Bergerac. I’m now on season 2 (on U’s streaming app). It’s been done really well. I’m old enough to (vaguely) remember the original with John Nettles. I worked out who the murderer was by ep2. Season 1 is on iPlayer too, for it sans adverts.

All the people who are anti-gold helicopters or want to slow gold helicopters progress, I have one question: If all gold helicopters disappeared could you still get through an entire workday without Shinyboy, Yellowblades Steve or any other precious metal flying machine?

Evening all. Standard Tuesday night - played six badminton matches, won three or four of them, I lost count. Pub afterwards with some delicious pints of Magazine Cover by Deya (one of my favourite breweries) and good chats.
One thing before I go - speak ill of the dead if they deserve it, especially if you couldn't when they were alive because they were litigious fuckwits.
In other “Bears Shitting In Woods” news, Kemi Bad-Enoch (Powell), is just fine with the anti-Semitic, convicted criminal nazi thug behind the Crewkerne Gazette standing as a Tory candidate.

If #Clacton actually stepped up and were to all #VoteBinface, it’d be the highlight of my year. Anything to wipe that smirk off the frog-faced fascist’s nicotine-riddled face.

Why the HELL is the App Store promoting a game where the main protagonist looks like disgraced dead entertainer and nonce, Rolf Harris? #HaveYouGuessedWhatItIsYet? … yeah, statutory rape.

Got home at midnight and cooked an epic six*-sausage (with garlic mushrooms) butty, as a late dinner. That, plus band practice then pub, is all working towards my not thinking about the shit-show awaiting me when I log into work tomorrow. *They were chipolatas so half the width of regular sausages
DCI Morose@inspectormorose.bsky.social · 3d agoBand practice started an hour late as the pot-head owner of the studio forgot we were booked in. In fairness he gave us the session for free by way of an apology. We rocked 20 songs! Msged a mate @ 10.20pm suggesting pub, so we went for a couple of pints on my way home. Superb end to the weekend.

I put the TV on, planning to stream something, and have stumbled across #Austin on BBC1. I think I saw it when it first started and swerved it, despite it featuring Sally Phillips. So far, ep7 has been hilarious, and I”m as in love with Sally as ever.

Cooked an old favourite (and quick) dish tonight. Salmon and smoked chorizo with multicoloured tomatoes and olives plus penna pasta tossed in balsamic and garlic oil. Tastes better than it looks!
Compare him to Steve Wozniak, who seems genuinely happy with life.
I’m not telling you the year, but mine included Aerobics, Videoconferencing, Peter principle and Recreational Drug (and about 100 more).

Evenin’ all. Well that was a long work week. There’s so much I didn’t get done, but I did complete one task that was supposed to take an afternoon but, because the client’s server environment was shonky AF, took at least two days whilst I troubleshot/fixed stuff before doing my actual work. [1/2]…
Just goes to show how much of Farage's shit show was buoyed up my media hype and zero real substance. His media fluffers have withdrawn their fluffing services and his approval ratings dive.
Parody Nigel Farage@parodypm.bsky.social · 6d agoLooks like I'm becoming the least popular populist in history.
Finished work.Did a run through of my band’s current set list (we’re playing this Sun). Now sitting outside, with my newest arrival, from a bargainous set of seven of the Jeeves books by PG Wodehouse that arrived earlier in the week, The Inimitable Jeeves. I’m reading them in publication date order.
Stanley and I skipped going to the park this lunchtime, and instead went to the Donkey Fields. Not sure why it’s called that because it contains neither donkeys nor fields.  it does have, provide lots of mixed terrain and things to sniff for Stanley.
Yesterday’s Sunday night blues have definitely gone, and have been replaced by the Monday night blues instead. An all-Cure soundtrack to my evening hasn’t helped, although it’s always a pleasure to listen to.
HELL YES. I’ve done nine long summers of sweltering in my home office, so yeah, let’s all get a/c. It can be powered by solar and renewables.

I have to watch Stanley like a sodding hawk when we’re in the (off-leash) park. He can, has and will, piss on anything vaguely upright. This has previously included; benches while they’re occupied, buggies/prams, suitcases* and (very nearly) the leg of an old lady sitting on a bench. *see next…
fesshole 🧻@fesshole.bsky.social · 2w agoStopped to chat with a neighbour in the park. My dog decided to scent mark the buggy she was pushing with his piss. I suppose, to a dog, a wheel is a wheel.
More of Stan The Man on our walk, as I know he’s the real reason anyone follows me!
DCI Morose@inspectormorose.bsky.social · last wk.Stan and I are mid-dog walk. See alt text for explanations. #chippenham
I’ve just opened the Am*zon app to check a previous order, only to find there’s a “portable air conditioner”* in my basket. No idea how/when that was put there. *but it’s actually what I’d call (from having lived in the US for years) a swamp cooler, not an actual A/C unit.
A WOMAN who lives in Dubai thinks she is the best judge of what makes a good British citizen, while her boyfriend avoids tax and is under investigation for dodgy donations. What an absolute joke. Except it's real.
