Polite reminder that if you are waiting to get into a restaurant or similar at this time of year. Please don't queue with the door open. You might not be doing it on a purpose but it's a bit thoughtless letting cold air in!

Coffee is motivating not just because of its caffeine but because it is nice, nicer than the news, nicer than the weather, nicer than being yelled at, nicer than the polarised horrors of the internet.

Watching this for the first time tonight. Going in blind. It features Wedge Antilles, a time travelling doctor .some other big names and Mark Knopfler did the music. So this'll be fun. In fact the theme by knopfler is my only exposure to it haha.

Usually around this time of year I like to enjoy firing up classic PS1 game MEDIEVIL. Pure classic! Funny and charming. I always thought it had been influenced in the best sense by a nightmare before Christmas. It's perfect for these darker evenings! And created in the UK by some super talented folk

In other car related musings. Remember when people carriers were a thing? Did all the people who have them just graduate to the ugly SUV things?

I saw an X reg Mondeo saloon today. A saloon of all things not even the hatch Mondeo.
It made me feel ancient. That was new when I was leaning to drive. 😂

And wow has it changed. It feels like an almost entirely different show! 66,000 square feet of vintage computers, retro hardware, software, and old school goodness of all kinds. Here's what the show was like (for me) in 2025!

A garage near me has a Subaru Impreza P1 or 22B on the forecourt and it makes me want to cry. It's probably been modded to death so likely to blow up instantly. Or it would be too hot to own. Surprised there's any left and they've not all been wrapped around trees. 😢
