Used to be quite common, back in the 1980s-90s, to be driving along the A14 or some other main road in East Anglia and suddenly an A10 or two would be rocketing past overhead across the road, making one hell of a din. The pilots would pretend the road traffic was tanks and use it for target practice

eek! not literally, I hope

They didn’t actually open fire, but I vaguely remember seeing a documentary about them and they locked on with their weapons systems and everything on the run up to the target, aka some hapless East Anglian driver, as the pilot cheerfully explained that the safety was on

Another visit to the ST:TNG-era Enterprise tonight with Allegiance (TV Episode 1990); not bad, but fairly standard Trek stuff.

And over the course of the day and evening I’ve also read C. S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters, which I last read when I was about sixteen or seventeen. Entertaining stuff, and a fair bit of food for thought even if you’re not into the religion thing

Goodnight all

Morning all

[BrilloPad]

Having been on a call at 8am, the guy who signs my timesheets (ex contractor) messaged me at 4.45pm to remind me they pay me per day and that my dog probably deserves a longer walk than she got this morning.

Does being told to down tools cause you’re not going to get paid anything extra count as SDC, or somewhere worth working?

Have you asked your accountant?

Do I have to pay royalties to NLUK for that?

Now I wish I had some ginger cake. I think I may make some at the weekend but I suspect by then I won't want it. I'm fickle like that.

MrsBP says you should blame HWMBO for not making some for you last weekend....

oh, the addled one is home again, so partner is once again trapped at home.
social services are looking into it.
crapita provide the solution, if and when a solution is decided.
ho, hum.

anyone need anybody* maimed, or anything?

*provided they deserve it, of course.

They do say stress is caused by not punching people who deserve it. Though most of the time that person is me.
