I'm not saying I've got the itch to play cricket again. But I'm not not saying that…

“You do not need to stop playing sports if you take bisoprolol. But do not push yourself too much.

Regular exercise is good for you because it lowers blood pressure by keeping your heart and blood vessels in good condition.

Be aware, though, that in some sports bisoprolol is not allowed if you're competing at a high level.”

@vaughnsc It's unlikely I'll reach a level this time around where being on bisoprolol will be an issue.

When I last played, it might have been ☺️

The Bisoprolol tablets I got to fill my latest prescription are heart shaped. They literally look like this = 🤍

I reckon it’s a function of how many of them they make and sell. The only reason to go to the extra effort (and probably expense) to make a medication that is prescribed frequently for heart issues in the shape of a heart is that it's profitable.

This week's crop of new music picks for the playlists is a good one. Of course, I would say that, as I handpicked them all ☺️

The Typhoons players need to do some intensive high-ball catching practice. So far, they have dropped three catches in the deep.

Things I never thought I'd hear on cricket commentary:

“A change of bowling. Forbes coming on at the Strathearn end.”

If you’re from East Belfast, you'll understand ☺️

If you're not (highly likely), I’ll inform you that Strathearn is a girls’ grammar school in the Belmont area of East Belfast.

When I was first thinking about joining a cricket club in my teens I went to a net practice session at CIYMS in Belmont. In the end I joined Civil Service at Stormont. As it was within walking distance of my house.

I recall hitting one of the CIYMS batters on the hand at the practice. He suspected a broken finger 😬

I miss bowling.

I loved Drive Away Dolls. Preorders from the UK VOD sites drop on the 3rd of June.

In today’s good news column, we can put that I found out there is a sequel to the film Drive Away Dolls. It’s already been filmed and is currently in post-production.

I’m not sure if it’s a direct sequel or is just part of a film trilogy in the same style as Drive Away Dolls. Margaret Qualley is starring, but Geraldine Viswanathan and Beanie Feldstein don’t seem to be returning.

The new film is called Honey Don’t!

That national service idea is a dead cat on the table.

Spend a week talking about that rather than how shit the Conservatives have been in Government.

I said almost the exact phrase quoted at the end of this post last week, before hanging up in disgust and anger. https://mindly.social/@geoffduncan/112493508698946679

Highlights of England versus Pakistan Men’s Second T20 International cricket match today.

If the England team play well in the World Cup next month they should be in the mix come the semi finals.

Given all the reboots that happen in Hollywood, I’m surprised they haven’t remade a film version of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. One closer to the book. Not slavishly following the books, but closer than the 2005 film.

“So when we turned to our colleagues on the Ghost core team last week and asked for "just 2 more tables, come on, we promised it in the newsletter" — it didn't go down nearly as well as we'd hoped.

Something about "unsustainable" and "who is writing this fucking newsletter".”

😂😂😂 From the latest Ghost Newsletter.

“Last week we promised you earth-shattering innovation in the form of database persistence. Did we achieve that? We did not. So, like every tired product manager in the history of ever, I will now attempt to explain that away and still sound totally optimistic — leading you to believe that our initial time estimates remain both accurate and relevant.”
