… And my life has been accompanied by a high-pitched background whistle ever since. If only we'd had earbuds from day one instead of those bloody useless things clamped against the side of your head that you'd have to crank up to above the ambient noise level. On, for instance, an underground train, or while walking beside a major arterial road. https://www.stereogum.com/2049762/the-first-sony-walkman-was-released-40-years-ago-today/ -

I was the same with the #Pogues at the Hordern Pavillion in #Sydney 2012. The Broad Majestic Shannon always gets me for some reason. And I weep buckets every time I watch the 30th anniversary DVD recorded about a month later in some obscure continental town called Paris. But does Shane ever stand me a round in Filthy McNasty's? Granted I'm some way from Islington, but for a f… -

@andyc Probably because you're a couple of years older than me. When I first started earning (well, that's a stretch - let's say making) money Peepshow was the last album and Superstition the next. But then you get into your twenties and begin thinking that there's more to life than vinyl and alcohol. This is technically true, but you neglect vinyl and alcohol at your soul's peril. -

@andyc Now you've got me started. #Listening to Peepshow. Then probably Superstition. Two of my favourites. But do I have enough wine for both albums? Phew. Baden-Powell taught me well. I am prepared. #dibdibdib -

Had a s**t morning. Was thinking that the last thing I want to do is to go into #work this afternoon. But I did, and by 10 minutes in I was feeling fine. There's nothing quite so rejuvenating as feeling useful, in even the most trivial way. -

#Listening to old episodes of the News Quiz because I miss the sound of Jeremy Hardy's voice. I'm a sad old git. #RIP -

@andyc As #EU policy-making is done by the European Commission and the ECB, I suppose the European Parliament is as good a venue as any for round one of 2019 Upper Class Twit of the Year. Not like they were doing anything else with the facilities. -

Sorry, I don't understand. 30℃ is the temperature #AU trains are heated to in winter, so that we can all continue to enjoy the toxic cocktail of fumes from soap, shampoo, deodorant, after shave, perfume, etc. to its fullest extent. It certainly makes the morning walk to the station along the trail of rancid slime dripped out of the garbage truck seem mild by comparison. https://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/27953 -

@kat Geometrically yes, but assuming you're using a chef's knife (as you should with such a job), the latter is fewer cuts and faster. I personally could not slice a cucumber, stack it like a huge pile of casino chips, and neatly quarter the lot in two cuts. There would be a lot of sweeping up, bandaging, etc. Cucumbers are devilish slippery chaps. -

Blimey it's cold. Just walking around the house feels like edging into the water a little too early in the year. -

It's interesting living on a low point in a flood plain between two creeks during heavy rain. Looking out the window to see the bins bobbing past in the front yard. -

This sounds like a wonderful premise for a show, but unfortunately I'm also so ignorant of popular culture that I wouldn't appreciate the joke: https://boingboing.net/2019/06/23/tig-notaro-flaunts-her-ignoran.html
