I've no idea why but I read that to the tune of Waterloo Sunset. I'll leave now.

Spent this morning teaching an AI robot how to build a bucket bong. My plan is to get them all out their tits and they won't want to take our jobs.

I feel the woman seated in the centre has heard quite enough.

Mine is the main character from a series of books where he's a crook turned sort of secret agent policeman. Sort of.

I liked Creep when I first heard it, but honestly I like some right old shite as well as all the unbearably cool stuff wot I dig.

I once mortally offended a Radiohead fan I knew by saying that if I ever met Thom Yorke I'd knock his fucking eye straight. I'd do no such thing of course but it was hilarious to see him nearly get the vapours.

It's been a while since they had elephants but I lived there from '77 to '04.

On a clear calm night I used to be able to hear the lions and the elephant at Saughton Mains. (When I lived there).

I don't want to worry you but there's an angry looking robot behind you with a black stick raised above his head.

I did the computer game one, until a guy at the bus stop told me it's how the Chinese will steal your identity. I was going to ask him to explain further, but then he flew away.

Exactly this, and it's that very thing I was hoping to point out. Edinburgh is further north than a great deal of Canada for example, but were southern to Highlanders. I secretly hoped it would raise a chortle.

Well yes, it's just me being silly. I imagine Orcadian chuckling in the background as I talk nonsense.

You can claim you're made of creamy alabaster if you like, Mr Stig, I just think it's a funny thing to say when you're slightly above halfway up and island.😉

Sort of, it's relative is what I was trying to say, so ascribing a set of traits by selective geographic reference is wildly hilarious.

Slippery jim di Griz @slipperyjimdigriz.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

I think it's hilarious when people who live 300 odd miles south of me say they're Northern. 'yes dear, but only compared to France.' It's like me claiming I'm a highlander, spurious and hilarious to outside ears. I mean fair do's, be proud of being from wherever you're from, but northern ya ain't.

That's because they'd have had to be able to read and do maths to know who they were. (Side note, if I'd met Alan Turing I'd have nicknamed him Mathematic Al)

In my fifty three years on this planet, I've never met anyone who could deliver "Fuck'em" with as much flat contempt as an Australian. I'm open to debate on this matter regarding their primacy, but it is my thought out conclusion from evidence gathered.

I've never given correct details about myself to any online service that requires me to fill out a biography before I can buy a hat or shoes or whatever. Any time I fill out a survey I lie.I can't bring myself to help these balloons in any way whatsoever.I know I'm pissing in the wind, but fuck'em.

Hope all is going well in recent-parentland. My youngest started Primary school in August. Enjoy this time, it'll fly by.

The Pie of Pies. Starting off the size of a jumbo paddling pool. Although for reasons of structural integrity only the inner most pies can contain gravy.

Get him a Love and Rockets anthology, and damn the consequences 😉

Oh my word I haven't read that since I was 14. Loved those books.

I think they might be chaise longue with inadvisable leg positioning?

I've not seen one of those in the wild since 92!

I like a bit of maximalism but it just reminded me of some 'try too hard' hotels where the proprietor has gone all Llewellyn-Bowen. Either way, it's not like I'm in the market for a smashing big house with it's own distinctive look and feel. Unfortunately. 😄

Fair enough, I think it's too many thoughts in each room, but each to their own.

I agree about the audition and they're certainly a quality manufacturer, I really mean that it won't sound anything like the sound you're used to. They may well sound better to your ear and that I suppose is the main thing as it's all entirely down to what you prefer.
