@martycricket.bsky.social I ended up getting a wee tricolour Phrygian Cap on my inner arm so no one could doubt my lefty credentials (leave me alone, I were 14).

@martycricket.bsky.social the age were not the issue (France were the wild west for British teenagers in the early '90s, think flick combs) I already had a couple, the Nazism definably was.

@martycricket.bsky.social As a teenager I spent two mint weeks in the Vendée. I thought I'd get a Vendeian resistance tattoo because, well, I were 14 and thought it were cool. It were politely but firmly pointed out to me that it'd be the equivalent of a swastika. Ta for that Loire tattooists.

@kevinhowells.bsky.social I remember when you gave the script for the broadcast. It reminded me of when I were a primary school teacher.

@martycricket.bsky.social we are all united in wishing for Surrey's failure. To be fair to Nelson, if the enemy missed a bunch of galleons with 12 pounders he probably felt safe wearing a hat.

@anniechave.bsky.social House sitting, read thou book, I liked it. I left it in the loo and me Mam read a bit, said "your friend Annie can write"! I dispute that we are friends and my mother is a very odd person but you've got a fan. Everyone with IBS on Oakbrook Rd will now read the Chave opus.

@linuxlea.bsky.social fuck this shit, I'm just getting a Pokemon taking the piss out of me. I'm off to watch Fringe (hopefully my incompetence fuelled foul mood won't impede my judgement).

@martycricket.bsky.social I thought this game were a product of my hangover, now I'm convinced it's an acid flashback.

@linuxlea.bsky.social just bought the first season. I'll report back.

Jay Grover @jaygrover.bsky.social · 26/04/2025
@linuxlea.bsky.social because, as mentioned, I trust and respect you, I'll give Fringe a watch, although "werewolves scuffling" is fun and much as I like PKD not sure my idea of linear reality corresponds. Hang on, 100 episodes? good Lord.. you are trying to kill me.
010
Jay Grover @jaygrover.bsky.social · 26/04/2025
@linuxlea.bsky.social sold me on Coast to Coast references and "scuffling with werewolves" (not "swear wolves"). I'll have to watch it now, just so I know what aliens to hate today. Oh, Lord, now you are making it seem proper odd. We do not share views on the merits of Sci-Fi.

@martycricket.bsky.social don't apologise, never let it be said that the York Railway Museum is not a cracking family day out (all my family now hate me).

@linuxlea.bsky.social I haven't really but trying to get Yorkshire lads to roleplay is a piss up the rope job. I had to invent a blood bowlesque game and then we all fucked off and smoked bad drugs and worse cider. My Risk music tape were a classic mind.

@linuxlea.bsky.social loved Rifts. Never got anyone to play with me; everyone got bored about my MDC complaints and we ended up playing Risk instead. I used to buy RPG books just for the world building tenor.com/en-GB/view/o... ,

@messyjez.bsky.social sadly I were not seeing me parents for dinner the other day, I were two hours behind due to a decadent ZzzQuil fuelled lie in. I am now house sitting for a week whilst they frolic in Paris (me Ma and Da say *FUCK* their late seventies, top lads).
