Funky Nosejob

Back out today for first time in 4 weeks. Parts of Long Dalmahoy Road (NCR 75) are more pot holes than proper surface.

Racey - Some Girls... Cheap suits, bad dentistry, questionable lyrics and ... DAD DANCING!!!

Na you are supposed to end up at the front. Yeah, you’re right. You start off at the back of the queue, but you should end up at the front of the queue. Anybody ending up at the back of the queue is doing it wrong.

That’s kind of how queues are meant to work, isn’t it?

A lesson well and truly learned. https://www.theguardian.com/games/2021/feb/09/makers-of-cyberpunk-2077-game-hit-by-ransomware-hack?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

There’s also the possibility that you’d be able to do the job you’d love especially well, but it’s a limited market and somebody else already has the job...

An interesting take on sports photography from Pelle Cass. A sample below I don’t remember waterpolo being this chaotic.

My experience runs something similar to... Mrs. Nosejob: ”I saw a post on a Facebook group and a thought it might be a fun thing for Funky Junior. Now, you don’t have to say yes, but I think it would be a fantastic thing for you two to do together. It’s on a Thursday evening so we would have to change our meal time, but I think if we plan it ahead that’s not a problem. Now it’s running for 8 weeks so that would maybe overlap with the start of his cricket season, but he’d probably only miss the first two weeks of that and I think that what he’d get out of it would be amazing. You might have to take him straight from school or you could come home but you’d probably have to set off again 5 minutes later. If you did take him straight from school you could always stop off for a snack at McDonalds, he’d really love that...” After another 2 minutes of rambling discourse, she’ll finally reveal it’s a watercolour painting class and show me the Facebook post, which I’ll skim read and click through to the details. Me: “It’s for adults only and the dates are for 2017”.

Fond memories of watching the Volvo 850 flying around Knockhill with 2 labradors sliding around in the tailgate.

Have been checking out the schedules of PBS America and Sky Documentaries on a weekly basis of late and recording anything that looks interesting. A lot of “meh”, but some that merit recommendation. Tread - A welder in America moves to a small town, but feels victimised. He decides to take action. Baby God - Fertility doctor decides to use his own sperm to impregnate his clients. McMillions - Discussed on the TTAODYOTTRN thread, the FBI investigate fraud within the McDonalds Monopoly game.

Random 00’s music videos of covers of 70’s songs for this pish.

Same again for Liverpool v Man City

I have an amazing spreadsheet that tracks my electric and gas bills which, by simply entering my meter readings, automatically calculates the monthly consumption, costs, my current balance and updates graphs showing kWH consumption over the last 7 years. Except it doesn’t, because every day the national grid sticks a wet finger in the air and comes up with a different value for the Calorific Value used in the equation for calculating gas consumption.

Bit of a post resurrection but I saw this last night and thought it merited some clarification. 1. The song was co-written by Terry Hall and Jane Wiedlin (of the Go-Go’s) who were having an affair at the time, hence the song title. 2. The Go-Go’s version was released in 1981, whilst Fun Boy Three didn’t release their version until 1983. So either neither of them is a cover version or the Fun Boy Three version is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lips_Are_Sealed 3. Despite Jane Wiedlin being the subject of several of my less virtuous teenage dreams, I actually prefer the Fun Boy Three version of the song.

We’re obviously getting a very different experience of the integration of YouTube videos within Pie & Bovril. To simplify - The Bangles’ cover version of Hazy Shade of Winter is better than the original by Simon & Garfunkel.

Proposals to “slow down” online slot machines. Cue the companies rebranding their games to get around the legislation.

Funky Jnr. was bemoaning how long and often this “ad” had been on and that he knew what FACTS stood for. My argument was that this was a good thing and preferable to the message being changed every few weeks as in other countries within the UK. On another topic, my recent occasional bouts of insomnia have sent me channel surfing during the night and I have noticed that everyone in foam mattress infomercials sleeps without any bed linen - no sheets, no duvets and no blankets. Quite often the pillows have no pillowcases. That can’t be hygienic.

Great that the tattoo artist has lined up the capital I in both Scottish and Winners with “freckles”. Some skill!

Why is there a dot on the capital I in SCOTTISH? Why does it say Confidemos rather than Confidemus?

Whilst in no way attempting to claim any moral high ground, and accepting all culpability for putting his photo into the thread in the first place, some of the comments being made about a 3 year old child seem excessive.

My son took a cricket bat to our snowman on Wednesday. He came back into the house with a huge smile on his face. I think he had more fun demolishing it than he did building it.
