So why am I explaining all of this? I'm going to be posting screenshots of the circumnavigation as we go. Just thought any reader might like to know.

Okay, here we go, Ep5 of Fallout. I'm sure there's a satirical message in there somewhere

Today has turned out to be one of those days post-retirement when I was definitely feeling at a loss. Had trouble waking up, despite having slept in until 9am quite well. Took hours to shake off the fog. Took dog to the park for a run, that's as energetic as we managed. Still feeling hollow.

Well that was 4 EPS of Fallout, I'm still at a loss to understand what it's all about other than a vague hat-tip to "Logan's Run" and every zombie flick ever made. Mildly amusing, frustrating in continuity but the storyline kinda drags the viewer along.

Another amusing sidelight, the Ghoul behaves like a bad analogy of High Plains Drifter, inclusive of saddle-bags over the shoulder, yet there are no horses in the post-apocolyptic world.

Also amusing in this Fallout post nuclear apocalyptic world is the fact that GPS apparently still works. 219 years after the war. After EMP. Seriously if the action wasn't passable I wouldn't bother

I get the distinct feeling this Fallout thing has a whole lot of Easter eggs in it

219 years after a nuclear holocaust I seriously doubt prosaic items such as rubber tyres would still exist

If Fallout takes place 219 years after Armageddon, & that occurred in 2077, how come all the wrecked cars in various scenes are 1930-40 vintage??

Amusingly, Airbus Industries has this word hard-coded into the electronic flight instrument systems of all of their aircraft 🤣😂
If I see you use this word, I'll block you. If you use it "satirically" I'll block you. Using it at all today is a really fine test of character.
I've had some of my books edited because I used it twenty years ago and I'm ashamed today of having used it.

This is fascinating. Win the midterms, Impeach & remove JD Vance, impeach & remove Trump, presidency passes to leader of the house. Seems like a recipe for civil war. Trump won't go down quietly & MAGA will be whipped up again. Grab the popcorn, it's gonna get complicated.

I think it's funny how the media want to focus on One Neurone bleeding the so-called liberal party. Let's be honest, only the uneducated bigot will actually move voter camps. Sure, some will see Bananaby's switch & follow, but that only reinforces my point. Uneducated bigots.

Dear realestatedotcomdotau, here's a clue. You might think your Pat Rafter ads are funny, and the first couple of times, maybe. But I'm sure you can afford to make more than 2. After the 22nd iteration in 20 minutes, they get really fucking annoying!
