   There's a #WiFi router near me called "Epstein didn't" and another one called "Kill himself". #WTF? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Epstein#Death #Beatles

   Social distancing is apparently over, by grassroots decree. There are so many punters pouring in at #work that I can barely take three steps without being asked for directions. It's positively claustrophobic. One lady apologised for being unfamiliar with the store layout because she ordinarily shops in town, but was driven out to the suburbs by the crush of shoppers there. No…

   "Give me ice cream or give me death!" Well, actually you can have a chance at both, but it does also mean that everybody gets a scoop. Fair's fair. https://digbysblog.net/2020/04/in-their-own-words/

   Oh, to have been a fly on the wall: "When Shane #MacGowan and the Popes were playing The House Of Blues, I took Shane down to the bar…to see if Little Richard was there. And when we walked in and heard his Wop-bop-a-loo-bop voice above the crowd, we went right over to where that sound was coming from, and I got to introduce the Irish songwriting legend to the inventor of ro…

   #RIP Jack Mundey. "Mundey strongly believed unions had an obligation to act with a socially responsible purpose that extended beyond wages and conditions. The nub of the green bans argument was that communities should have the right to shape and protect their environment, and that the workers whose labour was used to create the built environment should have a say in what was …

   Another night of imbibing the timeless wisdom of F-Bomb Freddy's record collection. Sometimes love don't feel like it should. Moreover, ooh yeah, life goes on. I think there's something in there for all of us to reflect upon and learn from. Whoo! #Aloha

   Been print-to-file-ing long reads for sitting on #Sawtell beach with a bottle of wine. #LockdownHobo God, I love a nice print style sheet! (And hate sites that won't render their main content without #JavaScript.) #CSS

    @tregeagle One of the many things I learned from Tom Baker: whenever taken aback, just say "ah!" a lot. One appears merely disarmingly slow-witted rather than condescending (where in fact I am usually both).

    At #work the other day: "Do you guys sell Fred?" Fred? What's Fred? An energy drink? A protein bar? A range of vegan convenience foods? "You know, like needle and fred."

    F-Bomb Freddy cutting loose again tonight. Pub rock has taken a sickly lurch into prog rock. Car park empty as frightened villagers head for the hills. Handed K off to #ex-DLW. I'm off to wander the streets and stare into pub windows rather than out of. A change is as good as a rest.

    "Mistakes have been made in the handling of the crisis. Like flying the Buckingham Palace flag at half mast when the Queen’s not in, which is just an advert for burglars. In my local park, someone has tried to cheer people up by chalking “You Got This!” on the ground. Literally the last thing you want to hear in a pandemic." #q Frankie Boyle https://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/35638

    Seems like there's a grassroots consensus that #covid-19 lockdown is over. Wasn't quite a pre-crisis Saturday at #work today, but a lot of people with little concern over 1.5m spacing, and not a mask or glove to be seen.

    Somnambulance is rare enough, but I think @tregeagle may be the only recorded case of a person who sleep-sysadmins.

    "[Classical economists] were still dealing with a system in which the amount of the factors employed was given and the other relevant facts were known more or less for certain. […] The calculus of probability, tho mention of it was kept in the background, was supposed to be capable of reducing uncertainty to the same calculable status as that of certainty itself […] By "u…
