I saw your channel on maker tube (I think) today when I was looking for Jan Beta's channel! You can use NewPipe (Android) as an app for Peertube, but it's a bit fiddly in your normal Fediverse style when trying to find and sub to people/channels. Also, I don't think you really subscribe via NewPipe. Subscriptions are just local and it doesn't use a Fediverse account.

I've heard of three of these movies...

Thankfully (?) my kids exclusively watch Ninjago, Captain Underpants and Nailed It.

I do remember a time when our eldest was 3 or 4 and he would watch the same movie on repeat over and over. The months he was obsessed with Robots and Planes Fire and Rescue were dark indeed.

Another GenX. Aka the best generation.

Great post. I played the Speccy version a lot back in the day. Although I was never anything other than very bad at it.

Right. You've got me interested. I will crack on!

The ever reducing diameter of wraps is the thing that gets me the most. Do they think we won't notice?! It's maddening. I want a big wrap.

I also checked out during Capaldi, and yesterday I went back to pick it up where I left it - The Zygon Invasion. Honestly, I'm not really sure what to make of it, and I understand why I stopped by watching. All that stuff with him playing the guitar, that really doesn't work for me. And there is something else, the pacing, the direction, the writing, the acting... I'm not sure what. The regulars are okay, but some of the supporting cast, not so much. Maybe this just wasn't a good episode and it will pick up.

Is this the bathroom from Bob's Burgers?

I've never been into a Primark, but this looks very much like TK Maxx (which is what TJ Maxx is called here in the UK).

I'm with you.

But, I'm keen to know how this discussion with your neighbour came about!

It's for the kidneys

If you're not paying you are the product. If you ARE paying you are STILL the product. This is how big tech works.

Tuesday, Tuesday. Up here in Scotland (specifically Edinburgh) it's the last day of the school holidays. To any other parents north of the border - we've done it, folks. The end is in sight. Looking forward to tomorrow's hectic early morning followed by a day of bliss.

Anyway, TV and Tunes Tuesday! Whatcha watching and listening to? Recommendations for movies, TV shows and music please!

Personally I have the last episode of Strange New Worlds, which I'm saving for tomorrow lunchtime and then it's sayonara Paramount +. We've also just finished the reboot of Quantum Leap, which was cheesy but fun.

Music wise. Well, I'm a gen-xer so I've been listening to the remasters of the Lush albums. Long live shoegaze, the only correct style of dancing.

 

Don't get me wrong. I'm a big fan of marmite. But I'm not an animal. I have it on toast, or a bagel, or maybe a toastie if I'm feeling reckless.

But my son wants marmite sandwiches. Sandwiches! How is it possible to spread marmite on bread without the bread disintegrating? Is there a technique that in my five decades on this earth I have not been able to master?

 

It would be great to have the option of a short summary for the post content in the "Large list" view. For example the first 100 or so characters of a post text. Either that or the option to limit the length of the post content shown in the "full" view. Thanks!

 

It's Saturday! For many of us, probably the best day of the week. Even if it turns out to be crap then we still have Sunday waiting in reserve.

So, what are your exciting plans for this, a traditional drizzly British summer weekend?

We were planning another two day camping trip, but with thunderstorms forecast at our destination, I think as a family we have all decided to dump that concept and just doss around instead.

 

Yay! It's Friday!

After a week of niceish weather, we await the inevitable rain. But on the plus side, it's almost the weekend!

Personally we are off camping, in doing so encouraging precipitation. But what exciting things do you have planned for the weekend?

 

Didn't have my glasses on this morning when I ground the beans and my espresso seems to be 1ml of coffee oil.

 

May all your cups be overflowing with crema this weekend.
