   Still… $17.50 for a movie ticket! Won't be shelling that out for the inevitable reboot of the Last Starfighter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7NaxBxFWSo

   Slipped out of asylum at the Ecuadoran embassy in #Sawtell to catch the last showing of the latest #StarWars. Lots of death and mayhem culminating in group hugs. What more do you want? I'm sure #Disney will carry on flogging the dead horse until the bones are clean, but I'm glad that I saw all first nine mainline features at the cinema on first release. (Bonus nerd points: I …

   No ordinary person can enjoy the Pina Colada Song loudly and unironically. The deadbeat divorcees round my manor are certainly exceptional specimens. The ex-wives of #Sawtell must be kicking themselves.

   Oh, my heavens. That's monumental. And exciting, if you're of a firmer constitution than myself, which you are. I've some storage boxes if you need them, and of course I'll be a referee on your lease application. Apparently real estate is booming there. It now costs more to secure a rental than to fill a fridge with beer, which is the second thing one does on moving to #theYa…

   Rum belongs in chocolate. https://tregeagle.com/posts/rum-in-the-bahamas/ Brandy in cakes. Whisk[e]y in solemn toasts to the departed. Vodka in cigarette lighters and various industrial processes. Wine and beer in me, though in very gradual increments at my age.

    @tregeagle Over 50% treasuries and less than 10% corporate is certainly playing it safe. I wonder what the definition of "semi-government entities" is. The remaining corporatised but not-yet-wholly privatised chunks of government?

    @tregeagle Certainly there's a problem with pacing yourself in a 3-pub crawl. We need a larger town with more to look at between rounds. When I got home I had a drink with dinner, poured myself a second, sat down, then woke up half an hour later and went to bed. There goes my hell-raising reputation.
