Gary Hockin @geeh.dev · 20/09/2026I didn't think about this much at all, what do you mean I'm weird? 001
Gary Hockin @geeh.dev · 20/09/2026"There are a young couple just eating their entrees sitting there but we'll soon move them to a table out the back near the bins, follow me please Mr Sphinx". He lets out the merest hint of a happy meow, and contentedly takes his seat. 100
Gary Hockin @geeh.dev · 20/09/2026"Jonathon" the maitre d' scolds, rushing over, "What have I told you about making your own decisions". He bows slightly, "I'm sorry Mr. Sphinx, young Jonathon here is new, would you like your favourite table?", he nods almost imperceptibly, "Right away Mr Sphinx" 100
Gary Hockin @geeh.dev · 20/09/2026Once he arrives he ignores the queue and heads straight to the concierge, rapping his cane on the pedestal to get their attention. "I'm sorry sir we're fully booked" the young man says. Without saying a word he gives the subtlest glance to the maitre d' and waits... 200
Gary Hockin @geeh.dev · 20/09/2026In my mind he's getting ready to go out for a night on the town. Grabbing his cane he leaves the apartment and strolls down to his favourite restaurant. As he walks most of the people he passes nods at him, a few even saying "good evening Mr Sphinx"... 100
Gary Hockin @geeh.dev · 17/09/2026For those interested the trick is always stop at a bar with someone with a dog outside 000
Gary Hockin @geeh.dev · 17/09/2026Well it turns out Barcalona is amazing. Partly for my knack of finding locals bar and partly it's just cool 000
Gary Hockin @geeh.dev · 15/09/2026Genuinely no idea how I started following you (do we know each other?) but the ups and downs of last few months have been entertaining 110

Reposted by Gary HockinRoss Wintle @rosswintle.uk · 03/07/2026The crazy thing about not-sitting being good for health is that healthcare places are the WORST! Sure, many (maybe most) people waiting for health care need to sit. But they expect you to sit for hours waiting. They come and take your vitals but there's zero encouragement to move around. 011

Gary Hockin @geeh.dev · 30/03/2026I don't know if this translates across the pond but worth asking your local soccer club if such a thing exists. They often have old goals that they have replaced, we give ours away to good causes 120
