The guy who tried to pass parked cars into the narrowed road that I was already in really didn't enjoy having to reverse his rotten first-gen RAV4, almost as much as he didn't enjoy me laughing at him while mouthing his own "fucking arsehole" back at him. Smile, you'll live lon... no, carry on.

First NGMW AGM/drive day I've missed in 11 years, I think 😢 Mainly due to not being actually in the group now, but I still fiddle with the website and get all the emails.

Man, if I'd been banned for a year for going shopping instead of taking a mandatory drug test, and cheated on my dying wife, I'd think I'd shut up about morality and what I think I'm owed from someone fiddling the books.

So... not the actual meaning of the word "really" then?

This is what happens when you give an embargo time in an unfamiliar time zone, and why you should use the UTC standard (not zone; standard) on all occasions.

As we're sinking money (some of which is not ours) into the house renovations, we don't have any, so my wife - unnecessarily apologising for not getting me the LEGO Enterprise - got me this cool Corgi model of it to mark my new age.

Right, the Gmail phone app, especially for my non Gmail emails, is shite. Recommendations for other email clients on my Android? (removing myself from Google's ecosystem a little more is also a plus)

Channelled my spectrum for a week, rebuilt the GTPlanet Track Suggestions forum into a standardised format: www.gtplanet.net/forum/board/...

Share and vote on the real-world tracks and circuits you'd like to see in GT.

I was just battering my increasingly late FF1 sheet, and it transpires that Hamilton has completed every race lap this season and never finished below 6th - the only driver to land points in every race.

Just topped up the work wagon, with an official range of 282 miles... I think it's getting used to me now.

Kia eNiro 64kWh, showing 31 miles more than official range (313 vs 282) after the latest charge.

It's taken an absurd amount of time due to money, health, time, health, finding anyone who'll actually come quote/do it, money, time, health, and money, but we're finally making headway on renovations...

Our extension, now in its final, structural form (minus finishing steps)

And on the inside; this will eventually be a 15sqm dining/garden-enjoying room. No, the sky isn't usually solid royal blue.

That GT7 Spec IV update(s) looking tasty. As ever, I knew bits and bobs from sources, but Autumn Ring and the E60 were pure Kazurprise.

Firstly, I'm not five lol. Secondly, all marketing departments need to employ someone like me to stop this sort of thing making it to the final product.

A slightly, and obviously amended Nivea face wipe packet, adding an E to the "For Skin" branding. I'm well over 40 years old.

Lol, PR email telling me a survey ranks iRacing as the most expensive competitive game because players have to spend $2k on a PC and steering wheel. Yeah, in 2015, maybe.

Wasn't expecting to see this on our new beam for the extension...

Yeah, gonna burn the place down and move to Surtsey.

Given that we were supposed to start L1 in basically the same condition as Monty Python's Black Knight but got away with it, it's hard not to empathise with aggrieved Bromley fans this evening.

All the same crowd losing their minds over the end of discs also creaming their crotches over a digital-only game's timed Netflix-exclusive trailer is about on-brand for gamers - and indeed the general public.

I know it's fiction (but the real ones do have a reputation), but why are all the cops in Reacher S4 shooting into public spaces without regard for... you know... the public? Like, the thing behind the thing you're shooting at is also what you're shooting at. *I* know that and I'm in Nogunsland.

Andrew Evans @snavewerdna.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Am I the only remaining person who remembers how GTASA, GTA4, and GTA5 were just bigger, emptier, and shinier, and even if I did care also recalls how the dev is a crunch-loving union-buster whose owner is owned by Vanguard/BlackRock/Saudi PIF, and therefore has zero interest in GTA6 or its "leaks"?

I encountered a car heading south on the northbound carriageway of the A1 north of Newcastle. Unlit section too. Fortunately road was quiet. Rang police who didn’t seem interested.

Increasingly looking like 12 dead across the British Isles so far in an apparent "challenge" to go five-up, bait cops into a chase, then go the wrong way up a dual.

Again, not judging until I've (by means other than paying *him*) seen it, but it looks like they're persisting with having one of the three as a literal character. After the gradually worsening years with three caricatures (at least two of which have since been grown into), I am not hopeful.

Andrew Evans @snavewerdna.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

I know we're bitter rivals and all, but no club should have to go through the batshit ownership nonsense that either of us have in the past few years. Hopefully #SUFC come through the day unscathed so we can continue calling each other bacon for years to come.

Did a thing. Have no idea why Piece 5 is so off considering the multiple measures, prep drawings, test fits, and trims, but it's within margins and there's spare bits.

Wood floor fitted to my porch. Woohoo. Also my feet, and no I'm selling pictures of them.

I have an alternative take on the Luce auction. Eight figures spent on a tangible item the buyer can't possess (or damage or destroy) for four months, and technically not a direct charity donation? It's Brewster's Millions.

And just like that, Liverpool become the least likeable team in the country. Possibly on the planet.

Andrew Evans @snavewerdna.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Yeah, no shit? #SWFC was Miseryed by Kim Jong-Tuna, we had like eight senior players (some good enough for the division), with the rest of the team being U21s who have now gone out on loan (or sold) to L2/NL teams. Comparisons to anything that happened last year are dense AF, even to fill space.

Braindead statistic from BBC Sport, trying to compare anything that happened during an absolute, almost unprecedented zombie season as if it's relevant to anything.

As a reminder, UK infrastructure - roads, bridges, railway lines, power lines - is designed to work within an air temperature window of about -5 to +27. The more the air temperature gets outside that window and the longer it goes on, the more they are likely to structurally fail.
