moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 3hMine arrived the other day, and I can't remember if Past-Me ordered it for myself or as a gift for someone. 010
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 4hCut cut cut cut. Every single national asset seems to be in a constant cycle of cuts. How is it that we were able to afford to have useful things back in the day, yet with supposed modern efficiencies, we can't? (rhetorical question, I don't need explanations, it's just very frustrating to see) 020
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 5hMine neither - I mean, I haven't ordered anything on there in several years, but it's got plenty of history. 010
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Oh right, I'm straight into Tracks view so don't see a Top Results. But even then it's very odd that the Tracks results are a load of poor matches and don't include the actual track, even though they have it. 000
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 07/10/2026That's really weird. Are you using the desktop app or a mobile one? Wondering if they're different... 100
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I really want to love @qobuz.com but the search just doesn't work at all. Search for "Doctor Worm". None of the results are the well-known TMBG song. OK, so I search "Doctor Worm They Might Be Giants" Somehow the results are worse. 100
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Sure, but there's also plenty of places where it is practical but as with everything lacks the political will (and thus funding) to do it. And ASDO is more of a workaround than a solution - doing a "you must be in the front X carriages" thing is not very passenger-friendly. 000
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Something that continues to drive me nuts is where services are busy enough for longer trains but we seem incapable of lengthening platforms to accommodate them. Even as a rolling programme where a few a year get done would be a start. 100
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I'm really hoping they don't get rid of him too early, he's far too entertaining to lose. 100
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The thing that's really killed most of them for me was when they got rid of chronological sorting. Makes it absolutely useless for anything time-sensitive, like "I've got a spare theatre ticket for tonight, anyone want to come?" or "anyone want to go to the cinema tomorro?" 130
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 06/10/2026In this case it's more "casual" stuff like antacids or antihistamines/paracetamol/etc. 020
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I'm terrible at remembering to take the "with food" ones at the point where I'm actually eating. 110
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I like to use my blister packs in order, but I get annoyed if I've reached for one in the night and the next day find I accidentally started the other end. 210
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 06/10/2026We once spent an entire week eating at Little Chefs while camping in Wales, as it was raining too much to get the camp stove working. 010

moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I was watching a YouTube video yesterday and the British presenter pronounced Hertfordshire in the American way and it was so distracting I couldn't continue with it, whether or not the video was interesting. 020
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I'm not sure they've ever suited mine. I'm not a hookup type of person and never have been. 020
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 05/10/2026There's only about 4 gays within 10 miles, it seems, so they're kind of pointless here. 110
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Do people *actually* pay almost £200 a seat for a theatre ticket? 000
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Oh fuck off. That's about the 15th one of these in the past 2 days. 010
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Ohhh I had some of these in France, they were good. There's a severe lack of cheese-flavoured crisps available over here. Cheese-and-onion doesn't count. 040
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 03/10/2026My hair is so full of secrets it barely fits through the door. 010
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 03/10/2026What I really love is having a 5.45am alarm, but waking up at 2.30am and not being able to get back to sleep... 000
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The speed at which it gets dark is what really throws me. It's like, I finish work at 6, it's light, walk down the stairs... it's dark. 110
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Fibre broadband contract is up this month so doing some comparisons, but I've never heard of half the brands it's throwing up now. 100
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 02/10/2026That's not a bad idea actually. I already have "fake" meetings in the morning to block out my calendar before 10am, because a) I work with people in different timezones who don't understand I don't start til 9.30am, and b) I need to drink at least one large mug of tea before doing anything useful. 030
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 02/10/2026My team agreed a "no meetings Friday" policy... which then left my calendar empty for EVERY OTHER TEAM to fill it, to the point where I have had more meetings today than the rest of the week put together. I don't even drink and I need one. 110
Reposted by moogalVix Leyton @vixleyton.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Sheffield! This is Sunday. My award losing Edinburgh fringe 4* comedy lecture about pettiness with @andrewoneillcomedy.bsky.social + Hannah Braggins at the civilised time of 4pm. Say QUACKS - well, write it in the discount box but also, why not say it out loud - and tix may even be free?🎫 266
moogal @moogal.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I'm going to be being chased around dark corridors in Thorpe Park by people dressed as monsters. 210
