What's all this shit about the rapture, anyway (yes I know I posted something related to it earlier but I didn't realise it was a thing at the moment)?

The RAPTCHA Select all squares with bicycles to enter the kingdom of heaven (credit @TheBreadmonkey, elsewhere)

#NowPlaying 'LSD' - Cardiacs

For the final time, a new Cardiacs lp arrived in the post.

Oh fuck it, I rarely do this these days but I'm going to get a bar of chocolate. #MuteMeIfItsTooMuch

Earth, Wind & Fire were originally named after the instructions for wiring a plug but decided that Find Earth & Wire wasn't catchy enough.

Just had an email to say that something I ordered has gone down in price so I've saved some money. I won't let that 16p change me, I promise.

#NowPlaying 'The Dark' - Third Eye Foundation

Just remembering those days - before Tw***r was a hellsite - where if you followed a musician/band*, you'd get an automated dm welcoming you and giving links so you could buy their stuff. *not all musicians/bands

#NowPlaying 'Laughing Stock' - Talk Talk Seemed to make sense after Mingus.

#NowPlaying 'The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady' - Charles Mingus

Just cycled 2 and 3/4 miles. Which isn't much, but is far more than about the distance: first time I've been out since I developed a painful condition in my hip 11 months ago which I've been managing with a range of physio exercises. But it opens up the possibility again, and that's priceless.

No space for parody accounts on my TL.

#NowPlaying 'Garden Of The Arcane Delights' - Dead Can Dance

People flying St George's flags is great. It helps me identify places that I don't want to live in.

#NowPlaying 'Rio' - Duran Duran

#NowPlaying 'Code' - Cabaret Voltaire

THE PUB IT BECKONS

Just opened a tin of mangoes, and a tin of peaches. In other news, I had a bowl of tinned mangoes and peaches for breakfast.

I want my country back … from those who profit as public transport is run into the ground , those who get rewards for putting shit in the sea, those financiers and bankers who will destabilise a country for a quick buck, basically everyone Farage will stand up for if he wins an election

Wondering whether I might manage to stay up til 10pm.

Currently engaged in a slow process of (hopefully) enabling someone to eventually realise that they're trying to explain to me the whole point of a joke I made a few days ago.

#NowPlaying 'We Have Explosive EP' - Future Sound Of London

#NowPlaying 'Alive 1997' - Daft Punk

#NowPlaying 'Bird Wood Cage' - The Wolfgang Press

Dull, grey, rainy weather :)

#NowPlaying 'Bad As Me' - Tom Waits

#NowPlaying 'Archaeology' - The Rutles

I think it's about time Tone Loc and Mos Def did a collaborative album and called it Mos Loc.

Just been told in a supervision meeting that I'm bloody good at what I do.

Put a Slayer lp on

Had a text from my workplace pension provider, after 10pm last night. Obviously automated, but surely they could do such things without sending them at such silly times.

Just put the bins out for the second (2nd) time this week.

THEY'VE CHANGED BIN DAY

What the fucking hell

Little known fact, but all phones have a little speaker at the top that you can hold to your ear. It means you can have a private conversation without the whole world listening to it

Two calls to customer services after several failed attempts for an order to go through online, and in the end I had to swap over the first line of my address so that it began with a number.

#NowPlaying "Wrong-Eyed Jesus!" - Jim White

#NowPlaying 'Recycled Plastik' - Plastikman

Got a big cheer as I went into my local this evening.

#NowPlaying 'The Animal Spirits' - James Holden & The Animal Spirits

I was going to have fish fingers. I was sure I had fish fingers in the freezer. I didn't have any fish fingers in the freezer. No fish fingers for me. #UKFishFingerChat

#NowPlaying 'Set And Setting' - Bardo Pond

Muted word: "Linehan" Duration: "Forever" #BskySettings

#NowPlaying 'Fall Heads Roll' - The Fall #FallFriday

I'm wondering how come it's 3pm already, and waiting for £20. #multitasking

If I’m being honest, I’m feeling pretty crap about my small business. It’s so bloody difficult at the moment with rising costs, US tariffs, Brexit nonsense and the threat of AI. Please have a look at what I do and repost to spread the word gailmyerscough.co.uk
