Economist-ish. ‘Civil’ ‘servant’. AVFC since Division 3. Occasional critical mass cyclist. Ageing 2 Tone kid.
My teenager asked me what songs I dislike the most. No hesitation - Jive Bunny and Stars on 45. Hateful garbage.

Why they've never been tried for crimes against humanity I'll never know.

I'm old enough to know better but I can't help but get excited about Aston Villa's season. As they say in Australia 'the lid is off'. #AVFC

This is a pretty nice house (and pricey too).

Read the description. Then go to the pictures. Have a look at no.s 11, 12 & 13. See what awesome feature is missing from the description.

Seems like a hell of an oversight.

While it’s unfortunate that people are inconvenienced, I’d much rather the manufacturer does this than cross their fingers and hope that nothing disastrous happens before they sort it.

Gotta love cycle infrastructure that runs you towards not one but two poles and a kerb. Well done everyone.

Ireland beating Portugal is cake. C Ronaldo getting sent off is icing.

Orbital’s version of the Doctor Who theme tune is the best version.

I will be taking no further questions.

This is ominous. It looks like a first step to choking off search unless you pay for it, under the guise of adding AI.

Those poppy themed corner flags at Anfield are a bit much. #lfc

It might have something to do with land ownership and hostility to open access in England...

With Stephen Luscombe and Dave Ball passing away in close succession it looks like the grim reaper has it in for the quiet synth players in 80's pop duos. Time to circle the wagons around Chris Lowe and Vince Clarke.

We've just had a gust of wind that shook the house. Will be checking the BoM website for the speed. #Melbourne #Naarm

It's impossible to overemphasise the importance of Bob Lamb in the musical life of Birmingham. If he'd lived in Manchester or Liverpool he would've had his own South Bank Show. He made the better Kiss Me and the first Lilac Time album. Eternally grateful and sending love xsd

Thiel is 1. a crackpot, 2. incredibly self-serving, and 3. a living relic of apartheid South Africa with a platform.

So nothing we didn’t know but good to have it confirmed.
And boy does Thunberg get under these guys’ skin.

Doubts about both the dotcom bubble and the GFC started to gain traction in the mainstream media in October. The crashes started in the following March.

I think I'm seeing more articles questioning the AI boom. It's October. Just saying.

Conor Smith is an evil genius.
Gavin has shown himself unfit to be President. This is why we should let our current President take a third term, despite his age. Who cares what the constitution says.

I read so many people in the US are upset about Bad Bunny and the risk of hearing not-English at the Superbowl. Maybe next year the music act could be some old-time southern US traditional white people music...

There's so little car traffic along Flinders Street outside the station it might as well be pedestrianised now. #melbourne #naarm #citiesforpeople
