I use to think placemats were for plates and cutlery. Silly me.

Incidentally, I saw this the other day (Caffe Lucca in Halifax, Nova Scotia) and I now want to go and buy a coffee there.

Caffe Lucca in Nova Scotia with a genius analogue pisstake of an AI advert, with everything written on cardboard in marker pen, and several staff members' hands coming in with cups from out of the frame.

Not a lot at the boot sale today, but I did pick up this gorgeous little #MorrisMinor Series II Operation Manual. Just look at the illustrations in it ❤️ No AI slop here. Mine's too new for this, so it will be going to a club member, if they want it.

Judgemental Seagull has produced the most irritating, lazy, whinging offspring ever. 2nd only to my lazy, whinging offspring. He treats it with the same indifference I treat mine, although if mine screeched like that all day, every day I'd have probably been done for murder by now 😂 Sound on 🔊

Sometimes, eBay product descriptions are refreshingly honest.

I made a thing: it's called the DNS Museum, and it's because I kept joking at the start of my talk, "Bizarre and Unusual Uses of DNS" that a lot of the things weren't alive anymore - so it was more like a museum of DNS and I was the curator. dns.museum

Bloody hell, must have spent too much time looking at that post, now I'm getting more dirty #Crocs🐊 suggested. Never worn outside indeed, cos looking at the state of these, they go barefoot outside and then put them on. Is there a market for skanky Crocs?? Maybe I should sell some of mine? 🤔

Lady at the local chippie saved me a couple of the new 10p coins. When my friend first sent me an article on them a few weeks ago, my first words were 'Are they calling Charles a cock?' 😄😄 (It's a grouse, jury's out on whether its a cock or hen though).

My standards are lower than a snakes belly, but come on, even I would have chucked a flash wipe at these. Good condition indeed. Passable at best. I guess she's aiming them at a certain market ... except they're a kid's size, which makes it even more 🤮🤮🤮🤮 😕😕 #FacebookMarketplace

The cats graciously put on a magic show for us last night. I figured out how they did most of the tricks, but I didn’t say anything, because that would have been rude.

Two cats on a platformed tower. One is on the lower level, head hidden behind the middle section. The second is on the top tier with only their head showing.

Finally got round to plugging this track ball into the #PanasonicToughbook. Works like a dream. Have ordered a USB converter (cos the 6 million I stole from work a few years ago have all vanished) so he can try it with his laptop.

Was just looking for another #Atari2600 cover as my consoles seem to be breeding again 😳 I acquired this old blue one for about £18 a couple of years ago so looked for a matching one. Just found one on Ebay. Jesus H Christ 😱 I think I'll cover the cover and let the console take its chances ...

The village gave the scarecrows their annual day out. Mr Lumpy, Chinwag & Little Billy were all allowed to shout at nobody in particular in the big city. They had a wonderful time! When they got back home they were put back in the fields with a glass of milk & some warm turnip.👨‍🌾

After lots of battling with old tape players over the years, I bit the bullet and bought a cheap modern one instead. Wasn't sure how well they work with old computer tapes, but it's two for two so far.
