I find the one rogue teaspoon upsetting.

After months of work, I finally finished this illustration... this is how I died, from insomnia.

Yes, this is especially annoying when you get multiple links to multiple streaming sites none of which provide you with what you want to watch and you just want to see a place you actually can. This is all part of the enshitification of the internet.

If Britain were becoming North Korea, wouldn't we have a better trade arrangement with the Americans?

Roland Smith @rolandmcs.bsky.social · Sep 3

Morning.

Andy Hodgetts @captainbinky.bsky.social · Sep 3

Furthermore I've never actually truly understood patriotism in the "proud of your nation" format. Proud? Of happenstance? I mean, I'm reasonably happy to be British but it was not of my doing.

I do not wish to "reclaim" the Union Flag or St George Cross. I was quite happy with the situation of us being a nation of non flag wavers. The Union Flag is for the roofs of Minis, tea towels, and tourist tat and the St George's Cross for sporting events. Other use cases are cringey (see: America)

I'd hold out for the Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em Frank Spencer on rollerskates DLC.

Considering that outside of Jubilees, flag-waving is like the least traditionally British cultural expression ever there is something of the ironic about displaying them under the guise of patriotism. Leave the flag waving to the Americans ;)

I like the fruitless attempt at adding some semblance of class with the incongruous crown that looks like an afterthought when a higher up said we can't possibly stock this crap.

Thankyou. I glad this makes you feel better about your own phone situation.

Andy Hodgetts @captainbinky.bsky.social · Aug 2

I annoyingly recently changed phones (cos the perfectly functioning phone I was using stopped receiving security updates) and I found the whole process surprisingly painless. It asked me if I wanted to pull over stuff from old phone. I said yes. It did. No issues with banking or authenticator apps.

I mean, that's basically what he did with Gremlins 2 apart from it turning out accidentally amazing ;)

Andy Hodgetts @captainbinky.bsky.social · Jul 30

The only way this can work is if Gremlins sabotage the production process for Gremlins 3 so that the film can be intentionally shit.

Okay.

I did not think through the implication of this phone's name when I bought it.

My A55 phone looks like it says "Andy's Ass" when plugged into my PC. This is far from ideal.

Is this a remake of Simon the Sauceror?

Andy Hodgetts @captainbinky.bsky.social · Jul 15

While it would be nice to still have rainforests, you're comparing the Lake District to the Pennines, the latter losing its trees thanks to neolithic faming so not a particularly recent development nor do we have photos of it ;)

Yep still around. Just back from a meeting.

Andy Hodgetts @captainbinky.bsky.social · Jul 7

I've been here 5 mins and have already moved tables to one in the shade as it's too flupping hot down here.

I have arrived. Cider is pink because apparently ordinary English cider is not good enough for the metropole ;)

What sort of fancypants stew are you eating? Stew recipe is leftover shit + saucepan + overcook + stop crying and eat it or you're going hungry.

2 trains early. Am now 15mins from Brighton though so I have probably survived the experience.

Andy Hodgetts @captainbinky.bsky.social · Jul 7

Ah. Well in that case it's just the recipe book justifying it's existence. If all recipes were just, like, bang it in the oven. Sorted. Sales would plummet. Whack some pointless fancy ahit in there and you can charge 20 quid instead of a fiver ;)
