Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little

While in the UK last month I was working in a tyre depot.
This month, I'm in France working on a campsite. I've got a slow puncture in the Duster

A couple months ago I stopped drinking for 6 weeks. Over those 6 weeks I didn't notice much benefit but I did lose 4-6 Kg.
I've been back on the booze recently and my weight literally goes up by at least 500g EVERY DAY
Ohh well back to not drinking for a bit and see what happens.

Having caught a glimpse of myself with my top off at a strange angle whilst in a changing room, I'm knocking a the beer on the head for a while. Dry at home, and if I go out, slimline G&T.
Shifting the lard gets harder with every passing year.

Cinema offerings the last few years.

Reading this article: Furiosa sees worst Memorial Day opening in 30 years

Look at what's on at the cinema now:

Another instalment of the Planet of the Apes prequel.

Another attempt at making a Garfield movie.

Kung Fu Panda 4(!)

A Bad Boys revisit

The above Mad Max prequel, part II therein.

The Fall Guy....was the 80's telly show that good that it deserved a feature film 40 years later?

Inside Out 2

Wolverine vs. Deadpool


Where's the originality? Are you telling me that there aren't umpteen ideas being pitched as we speak, that would make really good, original movies? Is it the studios not being willing to take risks? Seems to be backfiring if that's the case, as takings are clearly down.

I've been reading the Furiosa reviews this morning, they mostly reckon it's very good.

Nothing to do with it being summer, traditionally a very slow time for people going to the pictures? All the decent films arrive in the autumn.

The US Memorial Day weekend is one of the metrics analysts use to gauge the state of the movie world in terms of takings. It makes for grim reading if you're in that game.

The term "Summer Blockbuster" doesn't mean much to you then?

To be honest I rarely go to the cinema. I saw Dune a few months ago, before that I think it was Bridge of Spies with Tom Hanks (Google says that was 2015).

Cinemas are host to a high percentage of deeply annoying patrons. It would need to be an epic film to drag me in to share their space.

Massively jumping to conclusions* but got-on-a-plane-and-ended-up-with-COVID. My recent hit rate is catching COVID on every other plane journey.
Fvck my luck to hell and back - but I'm not staying at home forever.

The airlines are on commission from BIG PHARMA™, Whenever vaccination rates drop the airlines release a fresh batch of COVID into the air con systems. Some people say it's a conspiracy theory but the facts are the facts. You can't argue with the facts.

forgot to post this the other day. Since I was being brave about the phone, I decided to take my VERY VERY old TomTom apart and replace the old battery. Many years ago I'd bought a replacement battery, so off I went.

But -




Turns out I didn't do a very good job of buying the right battery!! FFS

Weather was shit again today, and I needed to go home from the catsit house to get some more clothes n stuff (empty the fridge!!) - so, cos the weather was rubbish, I drove up thinking i could do a coupe of jobs that needed a car.

Only, I was probably 5 mins from home when I realised that keys for the garage and the apartment were in my bike jacket - which I was not, of course, wearing

Luckily I keep a spare apartment key in a key safe outside the door. But the things I needed to do involved getting into the garage


Soooo, I did other stuff and came back to cat sit house

Public transport, first time on a train in over a couple of decade's, fuck knows how people do this every day, and pay through the nose for it.

Train will depend on where i am going. Sod long distance but my wee town is the end of a line and straight into Edinburgh Waverly. Its about £9.20 return and takes 25 minutes. This weekend is the start of Edinburgh LEZ so it makes sense to go by train. My sister is in Edinburgh but outside the LEZ so as its free parking i will continue to take the car.

I've had free bus and train travel for over eight years and I may have used the train 3 times in that period. People are wankers.

Been getting around Copenhagen on the local metro for the last few days. £10 for a 48hr ticket, trains arrive every couple of minutes, not seen a drunk person, a homeless person or a shit busker yet
