Found a YouTube page that plays all the episodes of Xplay on G4. It honest puts a tear in my eye. Homing has changed SO MUCH since the times when G4 was on the air. #xplay #G4 #bettertimes #missingyou

The image presents a pub-soaked sermon from the altar of righteous grumpiness. Centre stage sits an elderly, magnificently unimpressed man, built like a sack of unresolved opinions and weathered by decades of disappointment. His beard suggests both wisdom and the strong possibility of shouting at clouds. He clutches a pint with the solemn reverence of a man who knows this may be the only institution left that hasn’t betrayed him.

His T-shirt, declaring “Beware Grumpy Old Git,” is less a warning than a public service announcement. This is not just a mood; it’s a political position. The sleeves look like a Mondrian painting after six pints; artistic chaos clinging desperately to a body that has long since opted out of optimism.

Behind him, pinned to the wall like a pub landlord’s last nerve, is a universally recognisable blond political figure trapped inside a red prohibition sign. It’s the visual equivalent of a sigh, a crossed-arms “no,” a national tut. No slogans, no nuance, just a blunt, British rejection rendered in primary colours and weary contempt.

The caption beneath the image escalates from bodily confession to historical prophecy. Age brings more gas, yes, but also clarity. And with that clarity comes the dream: not of utopia, not of policy reform, but of peace. A future where bombast, narcissism, and orange-tinted reality distortion fields have finally shuffled offstage, chased away by time, irrelevance, and hopefully a very large door.

The humour lands where bitterness meets honesty. It’s toilet humour elevated to political philosophy; fart jokes repurposed as cultural critique. This is satire with its sleeves rolled up, pint in hand, muttering truths that polite society prefers to ignore. Laughing at it feels slightly naughty, deeply necessary, and very British; because when history goes mad, sometimes all you can do is sit in the pub, get older, get louder, and wait for the noise to stop.

Yep! This #GrumpyOldGit is looking forward to #BetterTimes A place where #Reality & #Truth can be set free from the #ConcentrationCamps to walk amongst us again without the derogatory calls of #FakeNews

It saddens me that this is the most engagement I've had on Bsky. Political vitriol feedback loop central. Guess I could quip for clout here by dropping more obviously agreeable statements

Do you recall the days of Sound-Twitter? We talked about craft and art. 😭 #betterTimes

Sometimes a relationship ends before we can find the words to explain why. #Love doesn't always leave; sometimes it just stops being enough, and the distance grows in the silence. That’s the part that hurts the most.

It's 1985 0230 AM on a Sunday morning. I was asleep on HMS Nottingham, when the ships intercom came on & reported the ship had a VIP visitor. In one of the most surreal moments of my life, Phyllis Nelson sang this song live a cappella.
We were just amazed & in awe.

This is a photograph of a rainbow hammock on a stand. Next to it on the right is a palm tree and behind it on the left is a Mangrove stand. The sky is a milky pale white grey reflected on the ocean water. Underneath the hammock is pale beige sand.

Father's day weekends used to be spent up on the north coast eating Abalone, drinking good beer, and staring at the ocean. Miss it terribly.

Remember when we were all happily living naked in the forests eating berries and pussy all day?

What have we become?

I miss seeing a stack of VHS tapes and being able to read the titles on the spines of the boxes. However, it's nice not to have so much clutter. Maybe I should create a mural—an actual wallpaper—depicting VHS tapes stacked from floor to ceiling. #1990s #90sRetro #BetterTimes

1st post has to be about ESPN/MLB parting ways…

The failure of ESPN should be studied by #harvardbusinessreview

I used to play #fantasy #baseballchallenge if anyone recalls

Joined a great group online where baseball led to a great conversation from all walks of life among many topics #bettertimes

Amy Sherald and Michelle Obama I don’t think I’ve ever seen this photo before, of artist Amy Sherald and former First Lady Michelle Obama sharing a hug during a session for Sherald’s iconic portrait of Obama. What a different time that was, huh?

Same, that and just about any They Might Be Giants track. Even the dark lyrics make me smile.
"Just another day" by Oingo Boingo is my go to dark smile song.

The Monkees will always have a good memory, back watching the re-runs in the 80s after school. #betterTimes
