The unending joys of neurodiversity. At least these days I understand why trying to deal with the traumatic torment that is #Sky’s truly evil customer disservice anti-engagement channels should tip me over the edge into abject mental frustration. I’d call them ‘fuckers’, but that would be too kind.

Been off the ale for a while. Not missing it. Then a few days come along that need some erm… encouragement to traverse. Whisky emerges as coping strategy of choice; weird thing is I’m not a big fan of the stuff usually.

Something something something too early something something.

Been a mixed-up few days. Week ago I was at The Martin House in Buffalo, then few days later I was food shopping with Daughter-The-Younger in Aldi in Brighton (returning to university) pondering any possible merits of double cheeseburger pies.

A #KentuckKnob knob…

Last year on a whim as part of a trip to the US I ended up at Frank Lloyd Wright’s amazing design at Fallingwater, also saw the houses at Polymath Park at same time. The one missing was Kentuck Knob (the Hagen House) which I managed to get to see this morning, amazing place…

When I moved to #Hitchin ten years ago, little did I expect how much amazing live music would be available here. From the amazing Club85 to the many smaller venues, with something on almost every night. Highlight of all that for me tonight with @nilerodgers.bsky.social playing Hitchin Priory.

Missed #totp as driving** back from Heathrow. Did I miss anything? **lurching varyingly between 1-5mph

Parasitic fungus, exploding heads, Return of the Living Dead vibe with Georgina Campbell and Liam Neeson. Written by David Koepp. But the name that made me really sit up and take notice is... Vanessa Redgrave. I wonder if this is her first exploding head movie.

Ahead of tomorrow I would just like to remind you that, for me, every day is #YorkshireDay. Eyup, etc.

Brilliant end to the week’s festival of @mostlycomedy.bsky.social in #Hitchin. My favourite line of the week bookended the series, by the fantastic @littlemaddles.bsky.social.

All late 90’s #totp episodes are improved considerably by turning the TV volume down to zero and playing Justice tunes through the soundbar. D.A.N.C.E.

80’s NYC they must have been worried about the camera being nicked. #totp

Play Free Bird you bastards. #totp (we’ll take double Yazoo, as it were, instead though)

One of my favorite vampire novels, acidicly funny and genuinely horrifying in equal measure. There's a sequence midway through I am amazed nobody ever did before.

Hello out there in BSky-ville. Had my faith in humanity somewhat restored today via this fantastic #StanleyClarke #TinyDesk set… wonderful stuff. m.youtube.com/watch?v=R81j...

Thank you for your attention to this matter. #AccountabilityForJanuary6th

Imagination minus the lamé balls. #totp

Looks tough miming a sax part. #totp

Oh hello 😂 #totp

As much fun as the TACO memes are, don't forget what that stands for: TRUMP ALWAYS CHICKENS OUT. It would be a shame to ignore the chicken memes that are there for the taking. Here's a little Starter Kit you might need. ENJOY!

Terrible. Countries in black are the only ones with trans self-certification. Being trans is not a medical or psychological condition, it’s a normal part of human diversity. Just let people be who they are. The EU/EFTA/UK needs to follow the Euro Convention on Human Rights #LiveAndLetLive

It’s the indie industrial set design again. Why did the think all the bands needed a white wall behind them. No, don’t pun that FFS. #totp

Best thing up so far. #totp

Amazing scenes at the snooker in #Sheffield… #MarkAllen #Crucible

A minute of silence for the puppets that died to make those costumes. #TOTP

“Yeah, just got a song on Glee…” #totp

That was the most troubling switching of the scenes I’ve ever experienced. Trauma is a mere Mc away. #totp

Forget AI Project Manager guy tech waste. These effects must have put most of the National Grid on standby. #totp

Holy mother of Mike Oldfield’s video effects room. #totp
