Joking with an Italian recently that all I knew of (modern) Italian politics was Silvio Berlusconi may not have been my smartest move, but it seemed to work out OK, mercifully. For context: youtu.be/sdZ3jD46N94?...

"Will giving the university a copy of the book lead it to fall into a black hole of existential despair?" "Only one way to find out!" #quotesfromgamenight

Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus.

It is bleakly amusing to me to see ads on a billboard near me for Gamble Aware, followed by Crown Casino.

Today started strongly, but has dropped off again. Still, its an improvement over yesterday, which was soul crushing. #retail

This is a can of deodorant. The military industrial complex/toxic masculinity has leveled up again. Pull the pin halfway, and spray. I'm *never* taking this on an airplane. In my defence, it was half price and made me think of Ace and her Nitro 9. #DoctorWho

As useful as the Sydney Metro service is, I do miss having separate carriages at times. Such as now, when there's a bogan woman yelling at another passenger down the train. The silent nod of "What the fuck?" I exchanged with other passengers was good though.

Slight tactical error in listening to @smershpod.com talk about The Hunt for Red October while taking heavy items down stairs - the Willie Thorne bit nearly killed me with laughter.

Introduced a friend to #Blakes7 today with the first 2 episodes. Sorely tempted to start with Seek, Locate, Destroy for Servalan, but he got to meet Avon in Ep 2, so he didn't completely miss out.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The Hymn to Red October is an all time banger and Basil Poledouris was a goddamn genius.

I get my news from a reliable source.

"When someone trips over your tongue you'll shoot them?" #quotesfromgamenight

"You have 5 minutes to prepare. You have a corpse, some children, and a barn you haven't explored." #quotesfromgamenight

Today's shaping up as one of those brutally demoralising days so far... 2 hours, 1 sale and regular inquiries about stuff we don't have. Yay...

If the person smoking just outside my store could just fuck off please?

I'm the leader of Antifa, and so is my wife!

Running #EattheReich soon, and gonna need to make some time to rewatch Last Crusade, which was my introduction to Indiana Jones, Nazis, and that Nazis should always be punched. (It also taught me to always buy a ticket when on public transport) #IndianaJones

The cashier asked me what I was hoping for. I said #Owlbear or Frost Giant, they wished me good luck. Walked away, opened it up and immediately went back in. They looked a little surprised to see me, but were very happy when I showed them. Thank your retail staff, they deserve it.

"I got better." "Did I?" "I don't have any blood." #quotesfromgamenight

I AM ON FIRE; KEEP CLEAR OF ME.

Use this post as an excuse to post one of your favourite characters:

Slow day and there's been someone yelling in the nearby alley for at least 15 minutes. After having a discreet look, he's on the phone and swigging something possibly alcoholic.

Just had a customer ask if there was any way to review the store, as my customer service was top notch. Didn't think I'd done much to deserve it in his case, but I'll take the compliment.

The thing about TV being hundred means that it was exactly at its halfway point in January 1976, and yes, part four of The Brain of Morbius, that is probably the peak moment of all television.

@wheezingpod.bsky.social From the Guardian list of '100 Biggest Moments on Television'. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio... Surely Bert thinks the OU first broadcast should be higher up the list, even if it was only about maths? DORIS!!!!!

Face reveal, wrong answers only

"I will toss the sausage." "Time and a place!" #quotesfromgamenight

That feeling when you get a script for treatment drugs, and you immediately leave it at home. *sighs*

Hey @thebenj.bsky.social, Thanks for the notice on the #Blakes7 reboot. Glad I could see the URL, as my messages are locked owing to age verification. As for the reboot, I'll believe its happening when I'm watching it, given the number of times 1 has been announced.
