Thank FUCK my ADP comes in on friday- work have stiffed me. I haven't seen my invoice yet though, so I'll see why then.

Using gender neutral terms to describe an army of humanity's last stand against alien enforcers in a reality where NOBODY is inherently good is quite fitting. #Warhammer40k

Now that Halloween is out of the way, but we're before December, every morning, I'm going to recommend a film.

First off- #BladeRunner.
A story about robots, what it means to be human, moral malaise and frankly, it's an absolute masterpiece. Do you see origami unicorns in your dreams, too?

If I had to guess, I'd guess at either Zero Dark Thirty, or some medical drama.

Well, the great unwashed vanished from Hampden Park quicker than Andrew Mountbatten Windsor from scrutiny this afternoon.

It's been a year, and she was always right about this. We miss you, Janey Godley.

The late Janey Godley, outside Trump's golf course in South Ayrshire, holds a sign reading "Trump is a Cunt".
In the foreground, there's a police officer.

As a Cornish-born laddie with Romani heritage, I struggle with Janey Godley. On one hand, she was an incredibly warm woman who gave me a free interview on the air because her daughter clammed up.

On the other hand, on podcasts, she's made jokes about my people during the Holocaust with such bad taste that it might make Jimmy Carr blush.

But today isn't that day to discuss this. She spent the last 7 years of her life trying to make the world a better place, and her voiceovers kept us all sane during the pandemic. So thank you, Janey Godley, you are missed.

I have a spare tub of instant, and it's very good. It's yours if you want it.

Finally completed the story for Pokémon Legends ZA. Not a bad game, and there's some real fun to be had. Wish the game was a little bigger, but it's nowhere near as bad as some critics would have you believe.

Baby's Day Out. Great, switch-your-brain-off slapstick fun.

It would be incredible if this could go Scotland wide.

I'm too poor to afford the bus. I have no choice but to walk.

On Thursday I walked 6km up and down the hills of Aberdeen on my mission to get jabbed and visit the library. Today it still hurts to walk. Avoidable if buses were free.

Green councillors in Glasgow have secured a pilot scheme for free public transport! 🙌

In 2022 we delivered free bus travel for under 22s. It's reduced climate emissions and congestion, and increased mobility and the money in people's pockets.

Free public transport pilot scheme announced for major Scottish city

A FREE public transport trial is to take place in a major Scottish city early next year

All this talk ae the guizers minded me ae auld da dressing a scarecrow up as Jimmy Savile to prevent the bairns knocking on our door just under a decade ago. Hilarious, aye. Did it make him popular in the boozer? Naw.

En route to Inverurie to pick up the stand- only I missed the train by a couple of minutes. Le sigh.

This one's a day late but... Here's a riddle for y'all.
The man who invented it, didn't want it. The man who bought it, didn't need it. The man who needs it, doesn't know it. What is it?

I owe someone a wee video of a poem I've written, and due to a mixture of things, including poor health, the video's a little late. Today, better late than never, I'll email it to them.

In the meantime- can someone get hold of Fin Hall dot Bsky dot social and get him to unblock me? Ta.

Have started listening to the 'Welcome to Jurassic Park' Theme every morning when I wake up, to start the day. Best thing I have ever done for my mental health. Can literally deal with anything after those 7.55mins. Thoroughly recommend.

Angela really should be their MP, not that fetid Tory twat in a red tie that they have.
