death tribble Posted August 12 Report Share Posted August 12 For the last 16 days I was posting Olympic medal results in the General Sports Thread and now it is all over, I am slightly bereft. On August 28th the Paralympics start up but this Saturday, the Vuelta starts so I will have that to keep me occupied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 Amusing typo today: a list of "Prohobited Items" for an outdoor concert I'm attending tomorrow. Makes me wonder when the Professional Hobbit Association started getting exclusive contracts for public venues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 Got back from that concert. John Fogerty was the main performance; George Thorogood & the Destroyers was the other performer on the bill; the warm-up performance was Hearty Har, a band to which at least one of Fogerty's sons belongs, and it was Fogerty's back-up band in the last part of the concert. Solid all around, and I may not need to see another concert. Of course, I'm also not sure whether I at age 68 was over or under the median age of those in attendance.

death tribble Posted September 5 Report Share Posted September 5 Watched a World of Tanks replay video put up by the Mighty Jingles. This has a bug on it as he said which meant there were no tank engine noises. It was suggested that he make the noises himself which he duly did. It was really funny listen to him narrate the battle and also do engine noises. The bug was previously corrected by stopping the video and rewinding it forcing a reset but the company corrected this.

death tribble Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 The next time someone whines about the Star Wars sequels or some other such thing being bad and the worst film ever I will point them at some of the quickies produced for British cinema. I have noticed how awful the soundtracks can be and how out of place they can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 Perhaps incautiously, I went and got both flu and COVID vaccinations around midday today. Right arm is getting sore; left arm is probably an hour or two behind. Probably I should go to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 Off to the eye infirmary at 9:00 and back home at 12:30. Mum had her second cataract operation on the other eye. Hour and a half wait from appointment time at 9:30. Off to be operated on at 11:00. Out after roughly over half an hour. New instructions include two sets of drops four times a day for two weeks then one set for another two weeks two times a day. No shampooing for a week, no driving for two weeks and an eye mask for a day but then it can come off for the day but back on at night for a week.

Duke Bushido Posted Saturday at 11:15 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 11:15 AM More and more roads are being cleared; more services restored every hour. These guys are working at an impossible rate. I want a home for my family, but I do not know if I want to return to what was just a few days ago. My children- nearly grown- have only these past few days seen the stars, and the more 'civilization' we return to this afflicted area, the more stars are again lost, this time, maybe forever.
