The Korea - Japan game looked the place to be today. That looked an epic game to be at

Listening to a podcast and both hosts think a Watershed is a building that contains a well.

Maybe the Depeche Mode cover. Last dinner party seemed like they were having fun. But I can’t see me listening again :(

Sinead O’Conner being magnificent. Very few phoned it in (Stone Roses and Blur basically). I still listen to it now.

I tried the new Help today.
And I’m just old. I didn’t like it :( they have the names - Arctic Monkeys, Olivia Rodrigo and a bunch of old Britpop names. But no song grabbed me.

So, the first Help album from Warchild 31 year ago, was an era defining album.
It was an event. The great and the good coming together to a week and they brought their A Game.
Radiohead. Suede doing Shipbuilding, Portished, Massive Attack, Manics reemerging, The KLF just doing their thing and…

Not The Onion?

This is in American style btw, so Wife is having to translate the code to British terms as she goes.

Either the Sumerians developed paper a lot earlier than any civilisation previously thought, or crochet patterns are on a whole other level.

Yep, the world has turned a corner

Reform are denying me access to the Welsh manifesto launch...

Remember a few weeks ago when Reform UK threatened to defund Bangor University in the name of "free speech"?

Well despite repeated requests, Reform are not allowing me to attend their manifesto launch.

Dog walking in the sun

Nicest day of the year so far, wearing my summer jacket

Oh boy, I got some looks on the bus cause of this!

It’s going on your tombstone

So applies for things you plan for/know about in advance, but an unforeseen situation would be treated differently?

He’s going the distance!
He’s going for speed!

Wha are the reasons for non evacuation? I ask because here in the Uk have heard on the news of a list of like 100k nationals in the area

A clip from the moment Hillary Clinton found out Lauren Boebert took an unauthorized photo of her deposition: 'I'm done!'

His grandfather did at the battle of Isandlwana

His mum was from a Brecon, never knew that. Thanks Wikipedia!

I feel you could do 140 posts in a row in Niven and still not get through half his life

An offer you can’t refuse

I am of the opinion that this is a top 5 ever promo that Wizards has ever done

Today, my colleague is back from her month long trip to the Philippines and looks like death warmed over (jet lag is not fun).
tomorrow, ,y other colleague is going off on their holiday for 10 days. I have 36 hours of being in a full team (excepting the one post they have decided to just not fill)

I ain’t going through there, no sirree

And it was glorious

Gold border worth picking through too

The person I was playing, who was wearing a TMNT t shirt then “Well actuallyed” everyone in the room and told it wasn’t named after the UK Northampton but one in New England, but even despite that it was still cool.

So the oddest thing at the prerelease for me was being in games shop in Northampton and in the game next to me someone played this card

#mtg
That was a weird prerelease. I basically ignored the names of all the cards because they sometimes spoilt the feelings of what I was doing. I could handle the turtles. It was the pizza that annoyed me :(
Set played fine though

Brighton in UK is just over 10% according to data from the 2021 Census out of around 280k.

Regret to announce that we’ve reached Wrong Coat season. Every coat you wear from now til mid April will be The Wrong Coat for the weather

#mtg
Tomorrow I shall be rereleasing (in a new location in Northampton)
I haven’t missed a prerelease since Legions so I am def going, but Turtles means nothing to me. Never read the comics, watched the cartoon, played with toys or seen the films to played the games.

I hope it is good 😕
