Cork to California and back again - happily home after over 25 years in the US. Alleged graphic designer. Talks nonsense about #LFC and ADV #motorbikes, and a little less so about #elitedangerous and #munsterrugby

Ahh screw it.

With the girls gone back to California for a visit and myself home alone (sniff!), I had notions of making a nice medium rare steak frites for myself tonight but this is absolutely not BBQ weather.

Weather is grim. Wind is howling, but there’s a break in the rain so time to get Ahsoka out for a quick walk. Grab the leash. Ahsoka’s response…

"This is the acid test, the best team in the Premier League*" *Achieved with financial doping, and corrupt/inept refereeing, as was evident in their match at Anfield and Liverpool's best player on the day being inexplicably sent off for two nonsense yellow cards while they had City under the kosh.

Still driving me mad. Bike was at the dealer in August to have it sorted. They did nothing telling me "The bike just lost satellite connection, be grand" and sent me on my way. Been trying to make another appointment the last fortnight, they either don't answer or call back. #motosky #motorrad

I mean, I wanted to - but they refused to give me a test ride, just expected me to order a €17,000 bike sight unseen. So instead grabbed mine from a dealer in Germany (ex demo) for almost half that. Couldn't say no. But are they refusing to deal with me for that? Or just unprofessional? Either way..

Sent the photo to my old mechanic at BMW SF who immediately said "Bullshit, completely different message for satellite loss. The SOS handswitch is probably fried. Have them check that." But as said, either the service dept. doesn't answer, or I leave a message with someone who promises a callback...

...but callback still hasn't come. Last attempt was today. "Sorry, service department is closed, but someone will ring you back Tuesday." This is the fourth time someone told me they'd call me back, but at least they answered the phone. Didn't buy the bike from them, is that their problem?

Some might say we're not there yet, but think when Leoni is back and up to speed, there's going to have to be an uncomfortable conversation...

Absolutely love this. Dave's stuff is fantastic - I have several signed prints and books - but Drive is by far and away my favourite of his creations.

Bluesky pals! I have a sci-fi graphic novel called DRIVE, & it's my favorite thing I've ever done! If you need a long, escapist read at the moment the entire thing is free to read, here: drivecomic.com (THIS PAGE: Grand Councils are Funny Things)

I'm genuinely sick of Kerkez pathetically trying to shield the ball, collapsing to the ground, and whining about the lack of a foul. You're not going to get them, you SHOULDN'T get them, stop @#$@$# trying.

Just said there on PremiereSports that they don't know why they only showed the ref one angle of the headbutt, because the other angle clearly showed the movement of the head. We all know why, Damien...
