throbber in his bathtub:

The really tinpot part here is the odds of anyone else at the club knowing why they're doing it are very low.

Tonight I finished off a 29p bag I got last week and they were all fine. They were nice chipped. Unlucky.

I honestly think the best part about being a snooker player would be picking your music. I'm either coming out to death metal or dancing down the stairs to the Big Break theme tune.

Also this: Hypnotism (at least something apparently as instantaneous as that) is obviously nonsense but I don't think Hammond is good enough at acting to fake this.

The Alba person in mine is called Uche Gladys Emordi She seems to be the HR manager in a bar: Mrs Uche Gladys Emordi (De Icons Lounge Resturant & Bar Ltd) - Director Profile - Endole I have nothing else.

Series 4 Episode 2: In reviewing the Alfa Romeo 166 Jeremy is making some point about its value by saying you can buy a ruined house in a former mining village so you could afford the car. While touring the inside of the house he looked at the name A. HOYLE written on the wall in a dark, faded brown and he wondered aloud what the previous owner had used to write it. Upon closer inspection he realised what it was written with and called it "the Bobby Sands look"

I know, I meant bits of the races themselves. I've watched Dave enough over the years to know the episodes are re-edited every now and then, the missing bits change. I doubt him calling Churchill a drunken Kurd murderer will ever be topped but I live in hope.

Type:Rider (PS4, 2017) If Celeste was the first 2D platformer I'd played in a while then my next game both follows and doesn't follow that. Type:Rider is a 2D platformer where you control a colon through an assortment of levels inspired by the history of typography. The uncommon part for me is that it's largely an educational experience, which definitely isn't something I play normally. Gameplay is fairly straightforward, if a little awkward. Your colon rolls along the platforms and jumps and can rotate in the air, but the controls are heavily reliant on momentum in a way which isn't always easy to generate. If you need to make a big jump you'll need to have a bit of a run up, and if you miss or hit the edge it's almost impossible to recover and carry on. The checkpoints are plentiful so this isn't really a problem, but the mechanics seem like they should favour fluid and reactive movement but this is rarely possible unless you've tried a level and know where you're going. There's a speedrun timer on all the levels but even without this in mind the game is very short, so I don't think it means much. There are some occasions where you see glimpses of the potential for more diverse gameplay but they don't come to anything. Sometimes you can jump onto a thin platform where one of your colon's dots will be on the top and another one underneath. There are interesting things you can do here but for the most part it's still just left to right. A to B. Same goes for sections later on where movement in the air is slowed down letting you refine your jumps, but this is gone as quickly as it appears. It's a small team that made this game and it's arguable the gameplay isn't the main focus, but I still felt as if there was potential that went unrealised. None of this matters though because I spent some time reading about the history of printing and typography and art design and I loved all of it. Do you know where the concept of capital and small letters came from, or what they were called? I do now. Do you know why typewriters all have the same font? I do. This information is interesting, but not really presented in an engaging way. You find asterisks throughout the levels, you pick them up and you get some pages to read. The backgrounds and elements in levels you interact with correspond to what you're learning which is a nice touch, but until you get to the more modern sections (where you also get to play Tetris and Space Invaders) all of the platforming elements are just plain black and cover up a lot of the interesting looking stuff in the backgrounds. It was a fun few hours and I learned stuff. I was never bored. I've done a lot worse with video games. My biggest problem is probably just saying "Type:Rider", even saying it in my head I feel like I'm just saying typewriter in an American accent.

Series 4 Episode 1: The montage previewing the series ahead is soundtracked by Reptilia by The Strokes. Jeremy says that a dog makes a better sound when you tread on it. They're doing their first race - DB9 vs. train to Casino Square, Monte Carlo. Whenever these episodes are shown on Dave there's always bits missing.

Parts of modern Scotland are quite Orwellian (Down and Out...). It's been a while since I've read them but the part of Wigan Pier that sticks with me is people in their 20s being glad when their teeth fell out because it saved the cost/pain of looking after them. Just because everyone does it doesn't make it okay. "Dickensian" works as an adjective because pretty much all of his writing featured poverty or classist interactions. Orwell's writing and life was much more varied.

I might start using "Orwellian" in the context of Wigan Pier, or Homage to Catalonia.

If this is the ludicrously oversized one that folded out into a poster, I got it too. Most of the claims/demands on it seemed to be things completely outwith the remit of council level politics.

You really don't get P&B at all, do you?

Absolutely praying this goes in

Genuinely impressive from Hearts how bad they've looked with an extra man.

Daily Duotrigordle #45 Guesses: 34/37 https://duotrigordle.com/ Easy one today.

Finally started playing PGA 2K21 after it was on PS+ last year. I think I've finally got the hand of the difficulty to make it challenging but still winnable. I might be able to turn it up once I figure out how the spin works.

Series 3 Episode 9: Kimi Raikkonen (2003) has won the Top Gear Award for most boring Formula 1 driver.

The word Orwellian winds me up because you can all but guarantee two things: - Anyone who uses it has never actually read Nineteen Eighty-Four - Anyone who uses it has absolutely no idea about Orwell's life or the rest of his writing prior to him writing Nineteen Eighty-Four You've never listened to Fatherson, have you?

I didn't know Gary Glitter played for Kilmarnock.

All of the women tbh. Aside from the one who looks like she's been dressed by one of the do it yourself bits in Blue Peter.

Chris Ramsey seems alright.
