I haven't got cat.
So this is still one of my proudest possessions.
I'm not a hero. Just an ordinary bloke with a bit of talent on boats.
I always enjoyed the anonymity of just being No 2.
Small things can change lives.

Hey, USA.

Climate change was accepted science when I was a kid.
You dinosaurs are stuck in a different century.

One of ITs biggest fuckups.
And this morning my ISP managed to have IPv6 running but IPv4 was borked.
Huge swathes of interwebs without IPv6 cos it's a pain in the arse & no backwards compatibility 🤦♂️

Football & VAR.
Everyone moaned about decisions before VAR.
Everyone moans about decisions now they have VAR.
Quite frankly the conversation is boring, and yet another reason I don't watch soccer any more.
VAR isn't going anywhere. Get over it and move on.
Thank you.

It's an interesting trend that we're seeing across Spain's housing market to a greater or lesser extent, in fact more than a third of properties under €200,000 in the cities around Spain now come with some kind of restriction attached.

The administration's $12 billion stockpile of critical minerals is aimed at blunting China's influence. But it also revels the direction of the global economy.
