It's incredible that basically nothing has come off it. We were hit with a 3k robodebt at a really bad time and it caused massive stress.
FCK these pieces of shit.

There is a great article written by Barry Jones on the interwebs somewhere. A good read about him.
I shook his hand when I was a kid and he was on the campaign trail.
I always remember feeling like he was a good man.

I think the Doctor Who story "Seeds of Doom" was my introduction to horror.

It is one of those tracks that I listen to sparingly. Have to be in a certain mood.

Yeah, sorry. Didn't mean it like that. My pop culture brain does that.

Nine Inch Nails - The Background World Listen to The Background World on TIDAL

The main reason I don't like Closer is that I am actually a bit ofa prude.
This is my fave.
12 minutes long.
It gets
very
very
very
intense.
It is one of those tracks I would expect most people would hate. It just tickles my ivorys. You have been warned. πŸ˜†

One cool thing about playing chess online.
I've been playing a guy in Colombia for over a year in long term games where you can take up to three days to have a turn.
I've only beaten him once. πŸ˜†

Paul Kelly - Love Is The Law
Paul Kelly - Love Is The Law YouTube video by Paul Kelly

I really did love Paul Kelly's brief foray into electronic music. This song is a gem. Film clip is amazeballs as well.
Without love you’re just useless
Without love you’re living in hell
Without love you’re so hollow
An empty horn, a clanging bell
