Oh yes! Tonight I saw Japanese psychedelic space rock band Hibushibire at the Sunflower Lounge in Birmingham. It’s an underground venue and felt like 400C with insane humidity and they still put on a fantastic show. Recommended 👍

Yeast demonstration. I baked the loaf on the right yesterday. Guessed the yeast had gone off. Baked the loaf on the left today. Exactly the same ingredients but fresh yeast 😮 It was the yeast I could do 😁

This evening I went to the gym for the 1st time in ages (pay for it every month but seldom go) and had a mild workout. Now feeling slightly nauseous and have a craving for a McDonalds. And I hate McDonalds 🤔

I love the insanity of English country lanes. Single track, high hedges, mud, loose gravel, horse shit & road kill everywhere, water hazard, humpback bridge, pedestrians, cyclists, cars, tractors & wildlife all thrown together with a 60mph speed limit. In this case all on the same bit of lane! 😂

I got presale access to Rush tickets. I said I was done with stadium gigs but was prepared to make an exception, until I saw the price at checkout. £529.75 I’ll pass. Dug out a ticket from when I saw them in 1980 and it was £4.50. BoE inflation calculator says that’s £19.49 in today’s money. Ouch!

YEAR 10 child looking for work experience placements & secured a couple to choose from with large organisations 👍 Problem is school are strict that it has to happen in 1 week & the placements are about 4 weeks later than the school want. Is it usual for the schools to be so rigid about the timing?

I work in IT. We use a LOT of cloud compute which is provided by US companies. If Trump does the unthinkable and stomps into Greenland, as part of all the retaliations that would then ensue could the US get (for example) MS or AWS to pull the plug on UK cloud services?

I still have my Twitter account though I seldom visit now. As it’s a new year I thought I’d have a quick peek. Bloody Hell. Won’t be going back there for a while. It’s just full of nutters posting racist and religious shit.

Bizarre list - not just the expected (eg climate or environment related), but International Institute for Democracy & Electoral Assistance, promoting democracy worldwide; European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats (self-explanatory), Global Counter-Terrorism Forum (ditto). 1/2

With the technology that humans possess, why can’t someone make a toaster that toasts evenly? Over the years I’ve spent from £10 to £200 on a toaster & they’ve all been rubbish. I prefer using my grill but you have to constantly watch it as it seemingly goes from pale to charcoal in a second.

How his mate, bankroller, and Insurance Company owner, Arron Banks, would love that. It’s not about what’s good for YOU, it’s about what’s good for HIM and his mates.
