Done a bunch of gardening i've been putting off, recorded 3 podcasts, been interviewed for a job over skype for the first time, and got my next three months of Uni assignments done.

Is this a regular podcast that we should already know about?  Linky!

Ah i've had so many stop start projects ongoing over the last few years a regular domain has been pointless! I'm working on one for this new project however and i'll notify the forum once it's online.

With the news the Excel Center, NEC and Mcr Central being converted into makeshift hospitals and morgues, with an alarming emphasis on the latter, and refrigerated mobile morgues being set up State side, I keep being reminded of that painful, gut wrenching page from the tail end of Day of Chaos where the Judges isolate tens of thousands of citizens in a sports arena and just wait for them to die.

We're living in the worst possible timeline here lads.

Went to help my 75 year old grandfather (in the early stages of Parkinsons) do a swift weekly shop at Sainsburys this morning, in the pensioner slot. My grandfather is increasingly struggling to cope with heavier tasks, and the staff at our local branch have been very inviting of family and care giver support during the one hour shopping segment. Still had to queue which is an odd feeling but it only took 5 mins, and major props to the tiny lass working the main entrance trafficking folks in and out, and was not at all standing for any abuse. Two lads wanted to get in "just for fags love swear on me babes life" and promptly kicked off seeing me next in line. Don't think i've ever seen a pair of burly security guards so done with someones shit deliver such a swift kicking off the premises, and it was, quiet literally, a kicking. You love to see it.

I like to think people are by and large quiet amicable but I do wonder sometimes.

I can just about understand why you like The Last Jedi - you mostly hate Star Wars, and so does The Last Jedi - but TordelBack rating it above IV and VI? Oh dear god...

Eeehhh as someone who didn't see the OG trilogy until his early 20's...gotta tell you Greg, IV is ROUGH at times.

...a film of almost painful beauty...

I'll agree with one word of this. And it's not 'film'.

I set 'em up... 

And J.J.Abrams lets us down.

It's funny because though I would never describe myself as a Star Wars fan, I do LOVE Empire and Last Jedi, and most of the tv shows too boot.

I just don't much care for the rest. "New Hope" and TFA are alright I guess in retrospect.

I'm gonna kick the hornets nest but, there are really only two actually good Star Wars movies.

Empire and Last Jedi.

The rest is just either mind numbing mid 2000's saturated CGI bollocks or horribly misguided pulp pap.

Star Wars is at it's best on the small screen, lets be honest.

The best thing that can be said about The Phantom Menace is that it isn't Attack Of The Clones.

I foresee a separate thread now arising, along the lines of: "This Week, I have mostly been drinking..."

I'll start, Jose Cuervo Especial Reposado.

Neat.

Well done Tordels, good to see some decency left in the world. Mortified to see two of my former employers among the scum jumping through hoops to keep their stores open. Makes me weep.

Uderzo was a complete genius, and a terrible loss to the global comic book community.

No party like a Gasper Noe party.

So. I might be going into quarantine.

My manager has been instructed to go into quarantine by HO, she lives with her sister who has been diagnosed with the virus. My last shift was a close with the manager on Wednesday.

I've no nowhere to go besides my family home with the grandparents, an at risk couple.

Honestly have no idea what i'm going to do. After the stress of the last few years this really isn't what I needed from 2020.
