Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Eh? All sandwiches are better with crisps in, and all sandwiches are better with butter. Only a maniac would forgo one or the other by choice. 020
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Out of curiosity, which slice do you *not* butter when you're making one of your weird austerity sarnies, the top slice or the bottom slice? 110
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Actually blocked someone I don't know for being a dickhead at me specifically yesterday. Don't think I've ever had to do that before, not even on Twitter. 000
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Material conditions? The only thing that could lead to that set of answers genuinely from one person is a significant bang on the head. 210
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026That has to just be someone mucking about. There's no way that's a real person. 1370
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Two hours on foot to get here, nine minutes by train to get back where I started. I'm sure it was worth the effort somehow. 000
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Six brown and one white? Modern Britain in a nutshell. It's woke gone mad. 010
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Can't go wrong with a Superloop though. Whizzing past the plebs and their ordinary buses, and still only £1.75. 010
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I realised this week the equinox isn't the equinox. Today's the 23rd, and according to my weather app the day is still 12 hours and 8 minutes long. Is nothing sacred? 010
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Don't be a fool - surrender that tool (first Thursday of the month, term-times only, closed for staff training in September). 010

Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 19/09/2026It's easy to speak up when the stakes are zero. Chickenshit motherfucker. 010
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Action was shaken - it's what I need. Definitely the oldest, most decrepit crowd I've even been to a gig with. But I fucking hope I'm still seeing band's when I'm in my mid 70s. 120
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I wouldn't usually wear a band t-shirt to the same band's gig, but tonight I'm making an exception and dug this one out. 210
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Killer feature idea: A way to follow someone so you only see their reposts, not their original content. 000
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 14/09/2026It's amazing, but I use it sparingly and call it the Forbidden Nose Spray for a reason. Rebound congestion is no joke. 000
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 28/08/2026The frame with the four finger kitkat gets me every time. 020
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Late last night, quite drunk, I'm trying to play along to the solo from Go Your Own Way, and it's horrible. Wrong notes, doesn't even seem to be the right key for the song. I give up, frustrated. This morning, sober, I put a tuner on the same guitar and find it tuned to open E. That'll do it. 010
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Your mileage, obviously, may vary. But for me, other than being able to put a label on a few things I do, and being able to give myself a break for a life of so-called squandered potential, at this age it feels 30+ years too late for a diagnosis to be much use. 110
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 19/08/2026It might. It might not. I looked into it (also ~50) when I realised that my life is a big pile of self-learned coping strategies. Decided dropping a grand on a formal diagnosis when I'd already figured it out anyway would be a waste of money, as I don't want meds & my career is almost done anyway. 120
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Unless Tortilla have started charging more than a tenner for one of their burritos/bowls/salads since Saturday, you couldn't be more wrong. 000
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 15/08/2026I'll make a note, and in the (relatively unlikely) event I'm in the area I'll try it. I'm passing through Walkden at the weekend, so not too far away, but if I'm doing a curry it'll be Dastaan in Leeds, which I'm hoping lives up to it's sibling round the corner from me. 000
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 15/08/2026I have a theory, with some empirical backing, that if a place calls itself Lahore the food is going to be pretty decent. Why? Nobody really knows. It just is. 100
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 15/08/2026That's Lahore Kebab House on Umberston Street btw. Whitechapel rather than Brick Lane, but it's usually the one people mean when comparing the two. 120
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 15/08/2026I once did Lahore for lunch and Tayyabs for dinner (due to a genuine scheduling cockup) and got to compare them back to back. Lahore wins every time, so long as you're sticking to a meat feast. 220
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 14/08/2026First time my phone did that was in a museum on the old inner German border. I heard the noise and it took me ages to realise it was coming from my own pocket. Still no idea what it was warning me about. 010
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I mean, as an aesthetic it's at least one step up from Steampunk. 000
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Likewise mine of 30 years ago, where you could get a job running an ISP if you'd ever hooked two PCs together to play Quake. 020
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Is that the experience you get? If I step as much as an inch outside my bubble all I get is book people and furry erotica. I'd trade that for black metal in a heartbeat. 170
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Genuine photos from Facebook posted by friends trying to watch the eclipse. One from Spain, the other from Britain. No further captions needed. 000
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Bonus point at the pub quiz tonight for drawing the tattoo you'd most want removed from your body. 010
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Reminds me of the quip from Olivier to Dustin Hoffman. 010
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 09/08/2026This entire series seems worthy of the subtitle "I have dogshit opinions and I'm not afraid to share them with strangers". 000
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 08/08/2026I... don't. But I did have tickets to see Dodgy next month. Though it was cancelled due to low sales, so I guess I'm in a minority. 000
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Microsoft's grammar checkers have always struggled with the subjunctive. And Oxford commas. Which is a pretty low bar to get over. 050

Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 29/07/2026I guess that's that then. Just five dead rubbers left for the season.🏁🏆🥇 100
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Pasta and oven chips are the same. "When cooked as directed". Like I'm cooking THEN weighing the bastards out? 010
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 29/07/2026I could pick out Calcutta, and maybe Delhi, but beyond that I'd be stabbing at random. 000
Billy Pilgrïm @eldaifo.bsky.social · 23/07/2026First time I was in Cardiff it only took about three hours before I started to develop a comedically strong Welsh accent, to the point it sounded like I was taking the piss. The struggle is real. 000
