Wifi on planes is admittedly pretty cool. You wouldn’t be enjoying this post without it.
That it enables headphone-less FaceTime calls at 32,000 feet?
Not so much.

My cat needs to realise being a predator isn’t for him.
Bought in a mouse, it escaped, took refuge behind a cupboard.
After a few days stake out , he’s got the mouse, bought it into the living room.
It’s thwarted him again and I’ve managed to get it out the front door unscathed.
Waster.

@robcorp.bsky.social Do you stay on and go to 1979 TOTP?
I was complaining that 1998 had finished and then the 1979 episode started with War Stories by The Starjets.
Sent me down a rabbit hole that ended in the low EPG music channels at 2230.

It’s only happened to one other person in the waters it happened in this year.

A sobering but uplifting day reporting on Ozzy Osbourne's funeral cortège.
The fans really showed up for him - complete with black roses, bottles of Jack Daniels and inflatable bats.
The family were clearly grief-stricken but heartened by the outpouring of love. Rock in peace, Ozzy.

Punks debate which was the first punk album, was it the Sex Pistols, The Clash, the Ramones?
There’s no question who it was with metal. It was Sabbath, it was Ozzy.
No other band from any genre could have had a show like theirs at Villa the other week.
A fitting send off for a genuine pioneer.
