I absolutely recommend that when MrMatey leaves his axe on the bus that you have a good natured passenger taking charge of it and messaging you to keep you updated so that you can intercept the bus before it finishes its route and reclaim the instrument.

20% of Irish TDs. I bet it is even higher here. We’ll never get this issue fixed by compromised MPs https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/politics/arid-41802197.html

PGMOL Shitting the bed again: clearly handball while Rugby tackling at a corner by Declan Rice unpunished while uber clown car ref Chris Kavanagh thinks that an arm on the shoulder outside the box plus a dive by a Manure player is worth a penalty and DOGSO, despite the double jeopardy rule. #fedifc

Just finished re-reading Abaddon’s Gate because I was so dissatisfied with how they dramatised it in Season 3 of The Expanse. So many great scenes and characters lost by SyFy’s compression of the entire book into half a series. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16131032

‘a thing that strikes one is the rigidity of his mind, the way in which his world-view doesn't develop. It is the fixed vision of a monomaniac and not likely to be much affected by the temporary manoeuvres of power politics…in his own joyless mind he feels it with exceptional strength, knows that human beings don't only want comfort, safety, short working-hours, hygiene, birth-control and, in general, common sense; they also, at least intermittently, want struggle and self-sacrifice, not to mention drums, flags and loyalty-parades.’

Wow, Paul Brainerd died.
It's fair to say that if I hadn’t discovered Pagemaker in 1989, most of my career may not have happened.
