Wife to me: "Have you noticed that LibreOffice tends to have fewer bugs and problems than Word and Excel?"
Yes indeed. That's why Microsoft aren't getting a single penny out of me for work I do on my laptop at home. I've been using LibreOffice for years and never once wished I had MS Office instead.

Our company does loads of shitty 'team building' events. The ice breaker is always 'tell everyone an interesting fact about yourself'. I always make them up. Last time I convinced everyone I drove the bulldozer in Bowie's Ashes to Ashes video.

A few weeks ago Mummy cat came home with a cooked sausage and gave it to the dog. This morning she did it again. She's just come in with another one 🙃

If you think it's hard to watch your parents grow old, just wait until you have to see your children get older. My son is balding and my daughter has wrinkles. It's so disturbing to me. I have a hard time with it when I see them face to face. I want to cry.

Hamne Kabhi Socha Nahin YouTube video by Asha Bhosle - Topic

RIP Indian songstress Asha Bhosle, famously the subject of Cornershop's chart-topping "Brimful of Asha".

Here is Ms. Bhosle covering The Beatles' "Norwegian Wood" in Hindi, which probably was what gave Cornershop the idea to do the same thing themselves.

"You can't blockade me! I'll blockade you! In fact, I'll blockade EVERYONE!"

The Punching Yourself in the Face theory of foreign policy. Iran is blocking the Strait, so in response he's blocking the Strait. It'd be like George W. Bush announcing after 9/11 that we were retaliating by crashing another airplane into a New York skyscraper. That'll show 'em.

Hans Zimmer is possibly my favourite composer of all time. I think it's important that we sep-

Nah. No. Fuck 'im.

Trans rights are human rights.

Medway's pride in its association with Charles Dickens is understandable, but given the state of the place, advertising happenings in the area as 'Dickensian' isn't the smartest move.

O HONEY NO

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Facebook ruined the internet. From the destruction of privacy through data mining, the decimation of forums, to the people it brought online and their hate-filled views - it has left nothing but misery in its wake.

The TARDIS prop on Harty’s chat show set, looking battered and filthy, presumably from the last quarry trip.

Crikey, look at the absolute STATE of the TARDIS when Peter and Colin appear on Russell Harty.

There's a great discussion about The Armando Iannucci Shows at the minute, hard to believe it's almost 25 years old. It's a real joy to revist this gem of a comedy.

Shit. Maybe I should have waited before I injected myself with all this heroin.

Seems appropriate at the moment.

This is the long version with the glorious Nixon cut-up in it. Well worth the watch.

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants.

Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare.

The BBC's "V for Victory" tuning signal, developed during the last world war and still in use on shortwave when we recorded it in the 1960s. Auditory hauntology.

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

Anyone monitoring flight trackers to see if the billionaires are fleeing to their island bunkers?

On Thursday, the new issue of Viz will be on sale at the small pile of radioactive rubble that used to be your corner shop. I'm not sure how much it will cost - maybe a dented tin of corned beef, or you might have to have sex with the newsagent or something.
