I sometimes wonder, does the shopkeeper know the key role they play in this serialised saga?
I suppose any of us might have been cast, unknowingly, in other people's plays. I hope I'm not fluffing my lines.

It's the amplification bit for me (whether preachers or buskers). Sing/shout/chant anything non-offensive but do it acoustic.

The Internet:

The nutter in the corner of the pub, who everyone used to ignore, now has access to thousands of like-minded nutters ready to nod along with every vacant opinion they have.

I'm 45 and love them, I tried their brilliant live (Blackpool?) show on my 32yo wife (did not enjoy) and my 12yo son (didn't get references but liked the silliness).

+95% of photos/videos taken at gigs, on phones, won't have been worth the effort. They will very likely look rubbish; fail to capture the lighting and/or sound; and probably never be looked at again.
Also, put your phone away and enjoy the moment for what it is.

Excellent. Very happy to have content i can consume without sound also, so now following @whenisbirths.bsky.social to read more.

Someone's deleted December's shifts.

Some of us still prefer words

This little triptych is such a perfect summary of friendship (or at least most of mine). The genuine well-wishing, the grudging admiration, the horrible need to accept (possibly to their face) that they're actually fairly competent...

Please don't leave us (I completely understand why you would, I just want to still be part of a bigger pool of non-nobheads).

The way this came up did make it look a bit like there's talk of LL sorting out Man Utd's problems...

Is 45 still in the "late 30s, but in added time" zone?
