We go live to my geodesic dome.

Three quid charity shop iPad mini keyboard, some loving dremeling, an old hacked Amazon Fire tablet and some VHB tape and I have reinvented the Netbook! Gonna stick a Commodore logo on it and make bank.

Ever see something in a shop that makes you do a triple take?

Take me down to the tetanus city Where the blood’s pumping And it don’t look pretty

Bristol is keeping it real

People were asking me why I didn’t want to go on the ferris wheel. Perhaps it was all the sand in the mechanism, or the torn bin bag over the main bearing. #nota

Yer boy really thought he could sit outside and eat his Gregs at the seaside.

Mayhem at the breakfast bar

Honestly, I think I’m fine here thanks.

Me? Toast, marmalade. Two poachies, hash browns, veggie sausage. Two teas, and mankind’s greatest invention a peanut butter and marmite crumpet.

The hotel isn’t busy so they’ve switched to table service rather than a breakfast buffet. So now people are having to look another human in the eye and say “three eggs, four bacon, two sausage, black pudding, mushrooms, three hash browns and a tomato” like the degenerate savages they’ve always been.

Weston looking dramatic

Jordan Henderson seems like he can be filed under “nice but dim” youtu.be/y7w1ajC5taM

I saw this awful Ai generated thing on the wall of the shopping precinct in Cheltenham. The more you look. The worse it gets.

New incredibly generic arcade games seem to be happening these days. All the games look like phone games. The driving one has some of the worst texture shearing I’ve seen in ages.

Back in the 70s, when my knees worked normally, my parents would secretly both book a day off work and take their snot nosed kid to the seaside. We were not wealthy by any means, everything we did was through careful saving and going without. 1/

Bristol Temple Meads station has emerged from the scaffold and it’s looking H A N D S O M E

I am sitting on a bench at a train station. Everyone around me is watching slop on TikTok. I’m starting to feel claustrophobic and trapped by folk just idly thumbing up on things that aren’t real and have been produced specifically to deceive them.

This DIGITAL WATCH needs to do something remarkable for four hundred quid.

He is a terrible person and an idiot, but can someone please put a notch on the sibilants. Bloody hell. In this house we believe in rolling off at 2kHz

This afternoon I have to do the out of contract ISP shuffle.

Oh mate.

Did some gentle upgrades on the Strat this weekend. I locked and blocked the tremolo, switched the nut and block for brass and gave it some locking tuners. Fresh strings, redid the action and intonation and we’re all set up!

Retro style flip phones that are clearly crap? From a computer company that doesn't exist in a real way? In the year of your Lord 2026? It'll never catch on

Not quite sure how I'll cope once this heatwave ends, considering I'm pretty much exclusively eating choc ices

I’ve been an Ernie Ball 10s enjoyer for years, but I hear good things about these. I just wish the packaging didn’t look like willy pills.

Trevor Nelson is one of the good ones. I hope he gets better soon.

I was generously gifted this handsome Japanese PowerBook 100 by the lovely @onlyretrofans.com a while back. It wants to live, it makes the positive chime when you press the debug key, but the HD is making rattles, so I think I’ll take a chance and drop a bluescsi in there.

“Hardtail bridge conversion kit for strats and telecasters” My dude, sit this one out.

No, you’re having a choc ice for breakfast.

I was raised on these streets

FIFA really using their imagination for the design on this T shirt.

Directive 1: Serve the public trust. Directive 2: Protect the innocent. Directive 3: Uphold the law. Directive 4: Cleavage dude.

Meanwhile, inside the bowdmobile

This stuff works better than WD-40 but whoever did the can artwork is both passionate about graphic design and double entendres.

Picked up a miniature Waco one armed bandit money box today. Needs a bit of cosmetic work, but once I’d lubricated the mechanism it works fine.

Big shout out to the Evri delivery person that delivered a reasonably rare eBay item to my house at 23:37 last night and just left it on my doorstep where it stayed all night. You’re definitely not an idiot

The floating arrow navigation from Crazy Taxi has totally rewired my brain. I now navigate my car in that manner, just always trying to head in the rough direction of my destination. And, you know what, it pretty much always works.

A week or so ago, my neighbour kindly reversed into the bowdmobile cracking the back bumper. I’ve been clanking around in an electric Frontera since then and it’s terrible. At least, we’re back in a car that actually responds to commands.

Your regular reminder that you don’t vote for the Prime Minister, they just happen to lead the party you’re voting for.

And I'm over here, taping silver foil to my windows like something out of a bloody Protect and Survive pamphlet

I MEAN

Also, this is a copy of Sneakers recorded from Sky Movies from the Astra satellite

Of the two tip VCRs, the Panasonic lives better all it needed was the threading capstans and pinch roller assembly lubricanting. Then the main board needed to come out and have all its ribbon cables cleaned.

I'm just going to leave this here forum.sailfishos.org/t/community-...

More like Peri Frantic amirite? Is that anything?

It’s not a competition, but I now own the world’s best tea towel.

Now here's a fun livestream www.youtube.com/watch?v=icQV...

The thing about redundancy is, you’re the same idiot you always were, you just go to the tip far more frequently.
