Took a good long look at myself in the mirror and yes, I have majestically transformed into Jet Black

Old man unshaven looking grumpy grey haired and yes, it’s Jet Black of The Stranglers aged 80

I’ve resisted the urge to mute the word ‘spooky’ and now I’m just screaming ‘FUCK OFF!’ instead

A friend just advised that he has become the Strava local legend for the ‘Doggers Delight’ section in the South Downs.
I’m sure this is just perfectly normal

But yours are no ‘average novel’ 🙂

Fiery Mark @fierymark.bsky.social · 2d

People who provide overly gushing promotional blurbs on book covers should be forced to declare financial/sexual/family ties with the author so we know why they’re so ridiculously OTT about an average novel

Post you from a different era

Early 70s, me on left with older brother. The b&w pic doesn’t display the full horror of those brown shorts and shoes.
Dad used to call me ‘fatty’ to add to the insult…

One of my few regrets in life was not going to that gig as I thought it too pricey - such a petty reason for missing out on witnessing greatness

We were near Dunbar watching the haar rolling in, not knowing if it was going to block out the sun and crush the brightness. Enjoy your trip

One other thing that I now recall is hearing the joke:
Q - how do we know Lord Mountbatten had dandruff?
A - they found his head and shoulders on the beach
and being amazed at how offended some people could be about something I thought was just a funny flippant joke
