   It's proper cold. The downside of losing a lot of weight in the past year is that I'm _really_ feeling it for the first time in decades. #weather

   @tregeagle So much bollocks to talk. So much wine to drink. So little time.

   @dick_turpin @andyc Indeed. As the child of loyal children of the Empire (I did my primary school projects from my mother's old 1950s encyclopedia, in which half the globe was indeed pink), you should hear me trying to do an authentic #AU accent. It's like the massed Bruces of the Philosophy Depaaaatment of the University of Woolloomooloo. #Python https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkZjhljJhOw

   Oh, the regret I feel over frivolous purchases never made! https://boingboing.net/2019/06/15/fare-thee-well-thinkgeek.html Still have my trusty sonic screwdriver, though. #ThinkGeek

   @mjd has changed his relationship status to separated. Feeling shaky but relieved it's finally over.

   Actually, in my pretentious youth I used to take a few "long necks" of Toohey's New with me into Peter Greenaway films. This had the salutary effect of rendering me a) drunk, and b) in the lavatory for much of the film.

   @tregeagle Thank heavens for screw-top bottles. It used to be so difficult trying to discreetly pull a cork during the reminder to switch off your mobile phone.

    @andyc It's all been downhill for Curtis since #Blackadder. Yes, he has money coming out his ears, but he hasn't a name anymore. He's just known as "from the writer of…".

    I'm not too much of a snob for popcorn and Richard Curtis. I'm in, if I can find a free weekend afternoon. I'll see what next week's roster brings.

    My #bank waives hole-in-the-wall cash withdrawal fees provided you make a certain amount of electronic transactions per month, and have your wages deposited into that account. I couldn't work out the logic behind this requirement until I looked at my statement and realised "Oh, feck. That's tremendously commercially useful data, isn't it?" You can have cash at face value, or you can have #privacy, but not both.

    I wonder if anybody my age actually feels that they are half as far away from retirement as they are from their first day of #work. I certainly don't.

    Enjoying Good Omens. Never been a fan of Terry Pratchett, mainly because he was so suspiciously productive. I've always believed in husbanding one's talents to the point of suppressing them entirely. Oh, the many great works I nearly created! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUJoR4vlIIs #TV

    @tregeagle Well, if it comes to that do feel free to pop round for a civilised after work drink. I know that I will be in need of one. True, no lives depend on me, but several people may be deprived of corn chips if I am not on the ball, and who is to say that this isn't ultimately, in the grand calculus, just as important? #utilitarianism

    6am starts at #work the next two days. Worse, I'm nominally in charge. Nothing good ever comes of letting it be known that you're reasonably competent on a good day.

    @strypey The Gavin Richards 1980s English #TV adaption is a classic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p10xejjf0pw

    Doing some e-training. God help me. The future of #edu comes in two stages: 1. Interminable info-dump slideshow with stock photographs. 2. Multiple choice quiz. Rinse and repeat endlessly. Yes, I'm wondering why we persisted so long with human interaction, teachers, and so on. This is so much more efficient, in the sense of cheaper and nastier.
