Bad news lads; the trainers I ordered yesterday are being "delivered" by Evri.

May as well put in the replacement request now.

@pdcawley You got reported to the teacher for telling someone to, and I quote, "fuck all the way off".

You're a naughty boy. But I like you, and always side with the commies.

Having one of those days where I’m reading some toots but the words aren’t going to the right places in my head, so I’m not comprehending them at all.

It’s mostly political ones, so I’m taking it to mean that my brain just doesn’t give a shit.

Listening to the new blink-182 record this morning.

It’s classic blink, so if that’s the kind of thing you’re into, then you’ll like this. The mix sounds really compressed though, which is really distracting.

I need a new bike because I’m very fat and mountain biking is literally the only form of exercise I don’t hate.

But new bikes are more money than I have. (which is 0 money)

So can someone sling me £800 for this please? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266557416255?hash=item3e100f633f:g:QGgAAOSwSA9ldEQY&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwBx5%2BaLkJjRri8Pl5W64E4Eu3ai3ug7dmfyPBy1yI%2F1iiQ30ErEGh1R7ANhZPEBIbj4y65MewxP0iUlgwh0U2zrHMRzJUe5c6Gxiwg1%2BvlUhAKzHV%2BuKj%2Fh9mCO7uEs%2BJDHVaPGjr06h%2FYxFqJLWPsFNVR9yeDu%2Bl7daERgZBwNV3MuckflJMT4TJC7NHDAxKsD%2FtjejWchOQOcxjqHQL2NUSvuj%2BL6FJYiB0rOlLfkuf8rKvpAriHX8wCU4wrn2wg%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR9Dik9axYw

This week's Get Up mix on Apple Music is heavy on the nu-metal, and I'm not feeling it this morning.

I need to read five books in the next two weeks in order to reach my 42 book reading goal.

YouTube has recommended Rage Against the Machine to me, and I’m reminded of this time that Tom Morello was excellent.

Today (the 9th of September) is my birthday. I have recently learned that my birthday is the most popular birth date in the year, on account of all the Christmas / New Year fornication.

So Mastodon, is it your birthday today?

I’ve become kind of obsessed with the lizards I’ve discovered living in a dirt bank near my work, and today I finally got a (half) decent photo of one!

Here's a thing that pisses me off:

When looking at trainers on a website, and the price says "From X", then you see that the size 8 is £15 cheaper than the size 9.

Why?

A large framed mountain bike isn't more expensive than a small, so why do trainers work like that?

Just applied for a job that asked the weirdest questions on the application form...

It's a job for a large utility provider, not some tiny little religious organisation.

Another question from the application form asking for the applicant's sexual orientation Bisexual Gay Man Gay Woman / Lesbian Heterosexual / Straight Other (please specify)

God, I really do hate to be that guy, and I really DON'T want to stand up for The Sun, but misinformation must be challenged...

The Sun didn't feature a countdown to Emma Watson OR Charlotte Church's 16th birthdays.

They are creepy though.

They printed topless photos of Sam Fox when she was 16. They ran Page 3 for decades.

EDIT: THIS WAS THE STAR

They actually printed a photo article about Charlotte Church having breasts WHEN SHE WAS 15.

But they didn't count down to her birthday...

What’s the oldest song that your brain has filed under “Fairly New”?

For me it’s Duran Duran - Ordinary World

Which was released in 1993…

I’ve installed @AsahiLinux on my M2 Macbook Air, and…wow!

I genuinely wasn’t expecting it to just work. There’s a bit of input lag, which I’m putting down to it literally having been running for five minutes. But it’s currently installing updates, which will hopefully smooth that out.

But hey, Microsoft, have you considered that I don't actually want to use the new version of Outlook? That I'm a slut for new software, but that I've already tried it and found it wanting in some way, so returned to the original?

Just been watching Marques Brownlee talking about the Cybertruck, and it has to be said, it's a piece of shit.

Sure, it looks fucking weird, but y'know, whatever, fine. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right?

But the build quality looks dog shit for what they're rinsing customers for it. Also, he listed a number of optional extras that have been paid for, but are not yet available.

Do you ever think about how the KLF were essentially just an art project, part of which involved some music. But that the music they made was some of the most perfect pop music we had.

Imagine being a painter who accidentally writes the most beloved novel of their era.

Can any Networking Knowledgable types out there suggest why the old BT business hub routers I use for my little wifi network at work don't have usable wifi on my iPhone/iPad?

My MacBook is working just fine, but the other two just show "no internet connection".

It's not distance, the router is on my desk, 50cm away.

Radcliffe & Maconie on #6Music discussing whether “Chinny reckon” is still a thing.

Did you have Chinny reckon among your peers when you were a kid, or are you not British?

Just seen this #iPod nano for sale on Facebook. It's listed as having a "minor bubble" on the screen.

Mate, that bubble is the battery literally trying to escape through the screen. This thing is toast. Pay me £15 and I'll dispose of it for you.

Virgin Media are - and I can't emphasise this enough - thieving cunts.

We're about to go out of contract with them, having been in contract for the better part of three years. We're leaving them to go to Toob.

We're currently paying them around £32 a month for 350mb broadband. That's all. Just broadband.

The out of contract price they've quoted us - for just BB remember - is £75 a month.

SEVENTY FIVE POUNDS A MONTH

Which we're on the hook for because we have to give them a month's notice.

Opening this week’s #ThePlaylist with a song that’s 30 seconds long and Steps.
