interesting moniker though, summat to do with BAL?
Got himself banned for reasons I can no longer remember (but then again that includes what I had for tea yesterday so no great surprise really).
Permabanned in 2021 for A Naughty Post. Searching on "BR14" leads, inevitably, to my daily posts that mention him..

Lunch: sausage (cold ones) bap (white)
Fairly cloudy out still
It's quiet so far this week, workwise. Our side of things is at a point where there's not a lot to do until other people do other things, which are happening more slowly than they normally would because of people being on leaveComment

Chap who programmed (or may still program) big iron*, hence the moniker.

Old arty farty thing this morning. Don't fancy a walk in this weather, so may stay in me office this afternoon and wander round town before me karaoke this evening. That damn shiny thing in the sky should have gone down a bit.bloggoth

I thought BR14 was alright. Didn't realise they got permabanned. Must have missed the announcement. I just thought they got bored or died.Comment

Lunch has been a salad from ClientCo's canteen.

Tea has been lamb chops with chips, peas, and gravy
This was accompanied by the first part of a new two-part 24 Hours in Police Custody which promises to become particularly grisly in the second part
It's starting to cool down properly now. It's 22°C out there, and between 23° (living room) and circa 26° (elsewhere) in here. The wind's getting up too so with the windows open, I've got a decent draught through the place - the office and bedroom have each come down a degree or so in the last hour. Chance of rain tomorrow morning as well!Comment
