I love how more and more young (and not so young) musicians are reimagining, interpreting and performing the modern classics of rock. This is a great performance of The Great Gig in the Sky from Dark Side of the Moon. https://youtube.com/watch?v=IHrrHvKe95s&is=fUe6gy5vzhc4SB2B
"How many watering cans full of water per day do I have to carry down the garden to keep the frog pond topped up whilst there's a hosepipe ban" is not a piece of arithmetic I've ever had to do before.
So I've got a legal document as a PDF, and I like having printed copies of legal documents in a filing cabinet. Sure, I could just print it. But. It consists mostly of white text on a dark blue background, and would presumably take several cartridges of at least the blue ink to print. What […]

And our new prime minister is all Trump arse-licking "drill, baby, drill". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdx82rl5g0do
Discovered a bottle of Moulin Touchais 1964 when auditing the cupboard content which had to be emptied out to make room for the electrician and the gas man. The cork had crumbled to little pieces, but it had serious metal foil over it which looks like it remained airtight. Tastes OK, anyway.
Hmm. I just got an unhandled exception crash out of Gimp. And it's trivially easily repeatable. But shall I report it? I think not. It's to do with closing the application with a particular dialogue open. I know from experience that such things (a) are a right bugger to fix, and (b) don't […]

So I'm getting a tiny pension from a provider I won't name who has been pissing me around for months over providing proper information. So I made a complaint, expecting to get the usual holding letter after a couple of months and nothing thereafter. But just a week later I've got the […]

"Britain must now unite behind Count Binface" 👍👏🏼👏🏼 https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-politics/2026/07/britain-must-now-unite-behind-count-binface It's about 30 years since the #NewStatesman was bought out by a #Blairite mafia. Out went the social […] [Original post on mastodon.ie]
RE: https://mastodon.social/@fesshole/116884557379244174 Sounds right to me. I'm continually being frustrated by finding that what I hoped would be toast is only slightly warmed bread, because someone else has turned the dial down.

To win a by-election (by anything other than safe seat core vote inertia) you need to be shoving two leaflets a day through each letter box by the last week of the campaign. I can absolutely see Count Binface achieving this. With nothing better to do, as their own candidates won't be standing […]

Farage vs Count Binface… Could be a close run thing. I'm pretty sure that Binface would do a better job of representing Clacton than Farage has done. #UKPolitics #UKPol #ClactonByElection
"Farage says he is resigning as MP for Clacton, triggering a by-election in the constituency. " Ah, some actual news. He could have said that half an hour ago.
"I am the most physically and verbally attacked public figure or politician of modern times" FFS - he's forgotten all about his mate Trump!! All Farridge got was a milkshake, no fake assassination attempts at all!
Hint for those making AI voiceovers on YouTube videos - if an unbroken sentence is far longer than any human can keep going without taking a breath then that's a bit of a giveaway.
Britain is currently running on an electricity generation mix that is over 90% renewables. The amount generated is in fact 112% of demand and the rest is being exported. That means that, were it not for the need to currently keep gas running to provide frequency and voltage stability, the […]

Is there any point in trying to use #LibreOffice ? It's just broken itself AGAIN. I tried to open a document, LibreOffice insisted on updating itself *without* asking me whether I wanted it to, and, as has happened in the past, the new version won't run. Can I really be arsed to go through all […]

New installation of Firefox on a machine which hasn't had it before. FFS.
No, I know I shouldn't be drinking Doom Bar from the fridge - it's real beer, not plastic fizzy lager - but hey, in this weather ...
My desktop just died! That's not very impressive - it was only last year that I took the fan out, cleaned out all the dust, and put some new thermal paste in. Ah well, the laptop is still working ... so far ...
30.3 outdoors, but 30.8 in my office. Time to open the window.
Brexit has prematurely ended EVERY Prime Minister who has tried to champion it or "make it work". It doesn't matter who it is, Tory, Labour, Reform, Boris, Starmer, Burnham, Farage or anyone else - Brexit cannot work. The ONLY way to end this utter madness, is to #RejoinEU
The meeja keep going on about "umpteen prime ministers in the last ten years" but never seem to cotton on what it *is* about the last ten years that has caused all this instability, or that this could all be ended by having a PM who wasn't a #brexshitter. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ckger03mrl0t
