Dolly Parton and other country music singers tribute thing with ll3 was ok last night. We disagreed over whether her *** were genuine. I was proved right when the same lady performed as Patsy Kline.

Volunteer thing at local nature reserve this morning.

On arrival at Mum's my brother was sat on a chair just inside the garage having a fag and looking glum. He then asked me to park on the road rather than the drive because he needed to get his car out and test whether he'd fixed it or made the problem worse.

I jumped in for the ride as I've not been in his Porsche since he bought it last year. After a hurtle down the local dual carriageway, he pronounced himself very pleased with the several weeks of troubleshooting, parts replacing, more troubleshooting, more parts replacing.

The drive home was uneventful.

Tea has been ribs (leftovers from the Chinese) and chips

And lunch was a bit of pork pie

Much of the afternoon was spent in a state of increasing confusion as I tried to get my head around how the new forum software works. Sorted it all out enough to know how to get some basic add-on functionality going in the end and, perhaps more importantly, worked out a few important internal spots to stick breakpoints so I can get a better idea of what it’s up to

Had an email suggesting I put my little business on Wikipedia. Never heard they did advertising. I see CUK is on there, last sentence says " The forum also includes an ineffective swear filter"

I reckon it’s worth reading them as I’ve been doing, in the order of the internal timeline rather than the order they were written. The whole lot of them are set across a century or so, starting circa 1990; so Random Acts of Senseless Violence is recognisable as society in “the present day” as it were, just starting to fall apart. The social, political, and technological changes become more extreme as you go through the series, yet there’s a clear progression happening and you can see how they got to wherever their “here” is from there
