Watching The Hundred (is it cricket?)

Any player with a mullet should be 5 penalty runs, and another 5 if they have a stupid 'tache.

It was a shit haircut back in the day, it has not improved.

When I moved to London I ended up living about a mile away from Selhurst Park during the Wright and Bright days.
I never went to a game. Wally.

Anyway, c'mon you Eagles!

A bad election for the Tories?
Well, they've got "Poundland village idiot" Chris Philp on TV to defend it.

A big success for TOR fellowship @jimjimthegrim.bsky.social @tashmakesstuff.bsky.social , Joe and Pete last night.
Absolutely battered the enormous, monstrous and terrifying spider.

Appalling GM rolls to the fore. Honestly, it hit once. Rolled a gandalf to avoid the killing blow.

A wonderful evening of TOR, where @jimjimthegrim.bsky.social @tashmakesstuff.bsky.social and Pete met an odd couple, set fire to cobwebs and made quick work of large spiders. Well, quick from the moment when they finally started to land blows.
Nest burnt, eggs squished.

But where is mummy spider?

TOR again. The fellowship @jimjimthegrim.bsky.social @tashmakesstuff.bsky.social Joe and Pete prepare for the battle of Lond Daer. After much planning, they persuade the townsfolk to essentially "hole up at The Winchester, grab a pint and wait for it to all blow over".

Rugby's on. Yay!

On ITV. Bollocks.

"And after the dirge of our national anthem, made even more terrible after the Italian one, here's another advert!"

Last night's TOR saw the fellowship @tashmakesstuff.bsky.social @jimjimthegrim.bsky.social and Joe (no Pete) making plans, sending news, preparing for battle and the success of a madcap scheme that would be worthy of Bilbo himself.

Lond Daer will stand and fight!

Whisky Galore is on.
Pretty much perfect and just 82 minutes long.

Pointlessly long films? - take notes.

(See also: pointlessly long books that just waffle on? - learn from Agatha Christie)

Thank you for attending my TED talk.

"We might not get any snow, living in the vale."

We've got snow. It's still snowing.

The flip-of-a-coin weather of lowland life.

A Christmas of double @bendorgrosvenor.bsky.social with "Invention of British Art" and a bonus "Crap MPs".
All I need now is the BBC to put Lost Masterpieces on iPlayer and I'll have a happy treble
(A new series would be the icing).

Back to Middle Earth and the fellowship @jimjimthegrim.bsky.social @tashmakesstuff.bsky.social and Pete artfully blah key information and set a mole to gather intel.

But there's been a murder, and our heroes are being pointed at...

2 gigs in a week? What am I? 20-odd again?

eXTC tonight. Bloody marvellous.

(New Wave is better than punk)
December 3, 2024 at 11:04 PM
By 'eck! Echobelly were bloody glorious.

Oh to be 25 again, if only for a short while.
November 25, 2024 at 10:50 PM
No work today. Oh well.

But so as not to waste the day away I'm playing a lot of Echobelly in preparation for tonight's gig.

I know. Echobelly!

It's going to be fricking ace.

Phoenix light show at the Minster this evening, remembering the south transept fire. Stunning.
October 24, 2024 at 8:34 PM
TOR tonight and the fellowship @jimjimthegrim.bsky.social @tashmakesstuff.bsky.social Joe and Pete discover some gold coins that arouse interest amongst Lond Daer's residents.

Is there some nefarious goings on... err... going on?

Read a review for the new Cure album. It better be as good as they say now.

And is it really 35 years since Disintegration?!

No way. Can't be.

View across the road.
It's not dark on the street, but not bad.
One more thing off the bucket list.

What does a RQ game look like when everyone fails every roll?

Ugly. Fucking ugly.
