This Usher's Life @thisusherslife.bsky.social · 24/06/2026We went to Butlins at Barry Island in the July. Sand was so hot you could hardly walk on it. Heat was stifling. Only bonus was one evening we saw a magnificent lightning storm over the bay. 020 2
This Usher's Life @thisusherslife.bsky.social · 26/04/2026We used to have a glass of wine lunchtime, and a beer and a chat on a Friday afternoon after the Courts had finished. Was a relaxed bonding exercise, unlike the forced "fun" we get nowadays. Can't even open a box of chocolate liqueurs now without management getting the vapours. 020 2

Then later first in the queue at my local cinema for Star Wars. Was so hyped to see it after watching a piece about the special effects on Tomorrow's World. 000 0

This Usher's Life @thisusherslife.bsky.social · 28/08/2025I was shocked today that the first item on Greatest Hits Radio bulletin wasn't small boats/hotels/Farage/Labour screwing up. Took a school shooting and the price of weight loss drugs to knock them off. They even mentioned Ed Davey's boycott. 010 1
This Usher's Life @thisusherslife.bsky.social · 14/07/2025Yep. Can't explain it, but never liked wearing short sleeved work shirts, but always have my long sleeved shirts rolled up unless it's too cold. Ties and jackets are part of the uniform in Court, and I wouldn't feel dressed without them, but optional in the offices so get ditched quickly. 010 1

Reposted by This Usher's LifeChrisO_wiki @chriso-wiki.bsky.social · 22/02/2025Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!media.tenor.coma man with a beard is sitting in a room with a harp in the backgroundALT: a man with a beard is sitting in a room with a harp in the background 9068312765 6.8K
This Usher's Life @thisusherslife.bsky.social · 19/02/2025The mixture of CVP, PVL, and time markings has meant fewer people attending court. Or if they are, it's staggered through the day. Unlike previously, when you had all cases listed at 10.30 with everyone physically in the building. 000 0

This Usher's Life @thisusherslife.bsky.social · 29/12/2024Same as others, watching Channel 4. Was reading about and liked Dolphins. They were doing well with Dan Marino. Rest is history. Sometimes wish I'd been reading about Buffalos, but too late to change now. 020 2
