"I checked my husband’s ‘golf’ holiday and can’t find any of the friends who went with him’ My husband has totally denied anything wrong and said I am being dramatic... am I being too suspicious?" Girlfriend, he's pretending to be a golfer. Slip out the back, Jack
Happy 60th Birthday Revolver, and in a months time Star Trek the original series
12 string delivered but may not get at it tonight, too busy. But soon, welcome to twangtown, population: me.
Driver swung into cycle lane to get around a car in front of them turning right. No indicator natch and I assume everyone actively is trying to kill me anyway so was ready for it. Let a roar all the same and shook fist (shake harder boy). Up a hill they went in light traffic, me in lukewarm pursuit.
Bede's World! Bede's World! Party time! Venerable!
Started Fellowship earlier. First time in years. 45 minutes to Sam taking his furthest step.
Christian Brothers stuff in the news again. Amazing how society collectively buried their heads in the sand, rather let their kids be exposed to potential abuse than make a scene. I was lucky as only caught the tail end of it.
A lot of fear around this morning. We'll all get through it. 6pm and we're all good.
Nice to see some people saying ah Liddle was fine and tone policing the rest of us. Mute city and off you fuck. A bit of this about alright
A great ep but a few holodeck scenes are ooh boy even for 1987. S1 had some good stuff in it
Greatest Trek and The Greatest Generation@greatesttrek.com · 2d agoOn today’s #GreatestGen, when the Entrepreneur goes into spacedock for a tune-up and some enhancements, the Bynars take things too far by forcing an evacuation and stealing the ship. Listen to the full ep at gagh.biz/greatestgen, link in bio! #startrek #startrektng #friendsofdesoto
Visited Turvey nature reserve earlier. Was really nice, barely anyone there. Late lunch in some garden centre Malahide. Epic nap then as aimed. A good day.
Life lessons for today: would you rather be remembered like Jimmy Cricket, or Rod Liddle? It's not hard to answer is it?
LF Lightning-Barugh@cheeseford.bsky.social · 2d agoI know a lot of people who knew Jimmy Cricket, and they all say he was as lovely as you'd imagine and hope.
Lazy enough day planned of doing about 3 things over 8 hours, watching the wildlife so to speak. This body gets me up too early of late so may squeeze in a nap.
Son's pal's dad got involved in fixing a neighbour's door. Yon Dad got very granular and was hours at it, wouldn't stop. His son says he's the type of guy who can't let a thing get past him, calls him a "puzzle monkey". I hear you.
One of my favourite podcasts, Greatest Generation/Greatest Trek is now after ten years or so basically held together with in jokes they built along the way (100% a positive thing), but the "hole" one passed me by. Until now greatestgen.fandom.com/wiki/Hole?fi...
Hole
Pronounced "hoel", "hoerl", "heurl", etc (there are many proposed spellings among the community), this clip/reference/mispronounciation was a source of much speculation but on The Greatest Discovery -...

Watching The Americans and lead actor is the king spit of Lindsay Buckingham. Lindsay pretending to be an actor pretending to be Russian pretending to be American. Throw in Tusk in the pilot and am all over the shop. V good so far and his co lead is super gorgeous too.
Sorted my little music audit. Got some new cables today, fender amp up and running, something wrong with my fake Acoustasonic, semi 6 sounds fine, strat sounds stratty. Need new power supply for a loop pedal I borrowed and semi 12 due any day.
Nearly up to date on Silo and although mileage may vary, for me it has utterly fallen off a cliff.
Have started and stopped a thing I want to say about five times related to a dead Irish musician (and others of their acquaintance, and no that one, it is known). Although I am correct, the guff I would get and possible offence some people would take, not worth the agita.
Made the mistake of letting the kids at some of my electric guitar related gear last year. Trying to find stuff now and there is going to be big trouble in little China let me tell you.
Lot of park and ride discourse going on but not the good sort lol
They tour with a thousand songs and I am not exaggerating. Every night is wildly different Incredible
