Merry Christmas, Mrs Iun got Covid for Christmas and I think she's wanting to split the gift so we both get use out of it. Anyway, Peas on Earth, Good Will to All Ben!

I am never getting up at 3am to watch England again. What a shower of shit. Why is Pickford still first choice? HE CAN'T REACH THE BALL.
-
England match is 3am here, after the performance against the US, I did not watch the match Vs Wales. I'm tempted to get up, but only because the next day is Sunday and I can have a lie-in.

"If you are here, you are one of us" No, no... I accept and welcome LGBTQ+ people; I think women don't need to be chaperoned everywhere; alcohol is fine - if you don't like it, don't drink it... And I'm not going to turn into a sex-crazed maniac because I have seen an elbow.

I used Twitter for about three days several years ago. I got bored. I am very much enjoying seeing Elon Musk implode in-real time.

Do not go gentle into that long "goodnight"...

Thanks, Ash. It's been a few years and talking to him on the phone (I'm still overseas) has shown a marked decline, which has been sad.

Yeah, my granddad turned 92 a few days back and he's just so miserable after the death of my grandmother several years ago. He finds no joy in living and has completely lost his spark. He's not saying it outright, but I have the strong feeling that he has given up on life.

I think "yes" in any case: the in-built will to live just overpowers everything for me. Would I like to be an immobile shell with a barely functional mind? No. But if Death comes anywhere near me, I'm going to tear his face off.

It was not as good as the first, I think that's very fair to say. A lot of what you pointed out was true, especially regarding the wedding. I enjoyed it as throwaway entertainment, but I found myself craving more intellectual stimulation afterwards. Asimov was the answer.

" flat out wrong " ...cough. Two dimensional. Flat. I'm messing with you - enjoy it by all means, I tried, and I really stuck with it, but it just wasn't for this Weasel.

@Ronnie You and I have diametrically opposing views on this, but that's fine because the world would be very boring if we were all the same! For a definition of "boring" see "Star Wars: Andor" - A live-action Sci-Fi television series developed for the on-demand Disney+ internet content providing service. "Star Wars: Andor" is given as the new definition of "boring" because the plot, characters and writing would glow the colour beige if exposed to ultraviolet light. The characters are so two-dimensional that a piece of paper in the audience was heard to remark "Ooo, that guy's a bit flat." I had to stop watching after episode five because I was tempted to grab my screen and shout "SOMETHING HAPPEN! ANYTHING! SOMETHING! A SEAGULL! LET THERE BE A SEAGULL! SOMETHING OTHER THAN THIS RELENTLESS SNORE-FEST OF A SLOW-MOTION TRAINWRECK OF A SHOW! SEAGULL, NOW!" Seriously, I am sure that people enjoy it, and I am fine with it: I just personally found it painful.

Holy potatoes, are you alright?

BOOO! BOO! "I was saying 'Boo-ob".

FLINK! We're all mostly still alive, I see!

Suppose I had better get in on this action! Hello, fellow old-timers!

Schools are the worst places to work at the moment: I nearly accepted a position elsewhere last week (!) mid-contract. But then I looked at their curriculum and nope'd the fuck out. Another 500quid a month is NOT enough to deal with management who couldn't find their arse with both hands.

I gave up on Discovery and Picard: Discovery - everybody seems so understanding and kind and willing to give second chances and overlook glaring, murderous flaws. If Picard/Sisko were Captain, Book would have been in the brig. Picard - I liked the first season, second season started well, but after about 4 episodes in I was just thinking" What's the point?" and dropped it from my line-up. Strange New Worlds seems highly recommended, so let's give it a go!

Blimey, mate, that's good news. Hope all stays well.

Oh, having a heatwave are we? 30 degrees is it? It's 38 degrees in Shanghai right now.

Back in the gym for boxing. It's been almost 13 years since I did any training or fights. -
Max Von Sydow has died, and that's just shit.

Sitting here in Shanghai, I can tell you that it keeps getting re-released and remixed. Sick of hearing it. It's like Gangnam Style or CottonEye Joe, but with less dancing.
