Last Notes npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB What are the access points de jour these days? Heard enough whinging to stay away from Ubiquity. I don't want them anywhere near the cloud. Some software config thing that works on the usual suspect OSs will be fine. Must support multiple VLANs and obviously by that multiple SSIDs. I'm quite happy if they're only 2.4GHz but 5GHz is a bonus. I need three of them. Ruabon Red Brick contains a lot of iron and it's awful for Wifi signals hence I need three for my smol haus. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub198t…hasj Does "Go fuck yourself!" count as sexual because that's the furthest I'd ever go. /tic npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB These N100 mini PCs you see on AliExpress with serial ports... I guess at least one of you out there must have one. Are they actual real serial ports or are they using a USB bridge? npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub198t…hasj I was just about to toot the same. Thankfully I decided to hold off... npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB I only read Reddit because it makes me realise that I'm not as stupid as I think I am. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub19lt…qfjk I think I need to purchase one of these. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB 20 odd years ago I lived in a student house not far from where I live now (about 100m as the crow flies). A lovely tripod cat that had definitely seen some wars used to let himself in and come up to my bedroom for some fuss. His name was Charlie. Delighted that so long afterwards I can bring that back to the community. Everyone loves Timmeh. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1r2z…0jxt Aww, she's lovely. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB A few years ago I did get to introduce Wifeface to our postman and without a hint of irony I got to say "I bet this is the first time you've seen her with clothes on". npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1xj8…r9lm No, it's shit but at only £3.50 I'm not going to complain. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1xj8…r9lm What doesn't kill you... https://mastodon.radio/system/media_attachments/files/112/666/014/141/754/348/original/568b74afd19a77da.jpg npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Well it's not every day you get to headbutt your postman. Please note this was entirely consensual. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB He's so adorable. I won't get it into the long story but I'm so glad the RSPCA didn't put him down and let us adopt him, and they funded his amputation. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB It's not a trap. Timmeh loves belly scritches. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB It's a trap. https://mastodon.radio/system/media_attachments/files/112/665/817/099/886/130/original/52ea26f6b5cd7e2e.jpg npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub18hq…znkd I'm with you on this. We have a lot on North Wales and I love seeing them come into view as we go around. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Wifeface is definitely not a fan of the definitely not BIR curries I picked up yesterday. Oh well, more for me! npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1xj8…r9lm I'm thinking about sneaking off to the pub. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1xj8…r9lm I have a bastard behind the eyes and I feel like a pig shat in my head. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Definitely into "seemed like a good idea at the time" territory. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1uk5…czap Chicken hearts are lovely. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1k8s…zuc9 I could never make it taste good. I don't mind it in Polish soups though, they seem to manage to get it to taste good. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Subtoot: I've done my time as a veggie, even before it was cool. Do I like the meat industry? No. But I've made my peace with eating animals. I believe that if you're going to eat them then don't waste them. Especially the icky bits. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Waking back up and going out to the pub with half of The Coven was probably a bad idea npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB I didn't manage to get Nihari as they sold out but I did get Butter Chicken. Having eaten it now I'm quite glad that now I know my own Butter Chicken recipe is pretty good. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1stl…zjjc They sold out of Nihari. Bastards. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1yr3…6cw9 Haven't had any since the village society visit to the United Artists cable headend in the late 90s. Not bad. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1yr3…6cw9 Well now... https://mastodon.radio/system/media_attachments/files/112/660/538/052/840/390/original/59c0fb2dd56991f6.jpg npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1yr3…6cw9 Caviar sounds like a great idea actually. Not sure if I can find any in Wrexham today though. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1jsf…frad As a person who doesn't understand this stuff yet, what's the difference between the 1/2 Panama and the normal? I want to make a utility kilt out of it. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB FFS. If I ask if it's the sugar one rather than the artificial sweetener one I don't want to get into a chat about your conspiracy theories. I just don't like the taste of aspartame. Or any of the others really. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB This was a really bad idea. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB "James, do you want to finish this passion fruit vodka bottle off, I'll just put it through as a double?" Absolutely. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub12a9…f7fa I got even more out yesterday. Problem now that my ear is clear I've realised that the other one needs doing. Should be all clear for International Bathams Day. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub12u7…wtsg You raise a valid point. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Today's fun is DWP. They're insisting that they can only speak about the issue to my Mum. The issue being an overpayment they made after she died. The letter about the issue was sent to ME. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB There's also talk of contacting them so they can action a discount. I bet the person who wrote the letter holds their mobile phone perpendicular to their face and has it on speakerphone. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Letter from the Milkman saying that they're changing the delivery days so their drivers "can get a little more rest bite for their family". Sounds painful. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1asm…4pqa My post still stands... npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Them: "If anyone's got a Startech USB modem they don't mind opening up could they..." Me: Get me the fucking hammer so I can smash this hateful bastard thing up. It's a Agere SC92U2C npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB AI companies ignoring robots.txt? I'm absolutely shocked!* * I'm not shocked at all. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1xj8…r9lm Josh... npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1asm…4pqa "First off, go to your root directory and type chown -r 777 * " npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB I'm no boomer but I feel it coming on when I read how to install some stuff on Linux these days. Yeah, I'll curl some random script... fuck off. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Just had a message from my uncle asking where my parent's ashes are interred. Yeah, I should probably sort that out. Why hasn't the funeral director sorted that out, they were meant to. *Little cry* Right, fine now. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1vnp…tl37 I used to be the first one to get up and try something stupid. I just can't afford to now. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub14un…nv92 I've had the fish and chips from there, I've had the curry. Has to be kebab tonight. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1vnp…tl37 I've broken my body so much now doing things over the years that I'm afraid to do stuff and possibly break it any more. My Dad had more mobility than me before he died earlier this year at 80 years old. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1vnp…tl37 I never used to be scared of ladders and stuff, I did all sorts of stupid shit. With experience now I know how much it hurts. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1smx…ce4f I assume it can be used by Home Assistant fairly easily so I don't have to hack something together. I haven't really looked into it yet. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1d3g…avxe I know, but I have quite a few cables. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Hmm. May as well replace the feedlines and route cables nicely this time now that I don't have a landlord to shout at me. I'm in the pub. Someone must have a core drill. I have no soffits so it's the only way in that isn't the window. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Bugger. My Pushover trial has ended. Guess I'll be setting up Nfty tomorrow as well then. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub13ru…67kn I did once vote for the MRLP. Dancing Ken, a Cheltenham legend. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub198t…hasj I still use Lynx to check any website stuff I have to create. Fabulous browser. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB But first, 3D print a blank Hexpansion so I can work out if there's a way I can get this fucker to fit. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB I suppose I'd better go back to being an adult tomorrow and finish ripping the decking up so I can put my antennas back up. Should have fucked my back within 30 minutes of starting that so a nice easy day with KiCad it will end up. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 open tabs... you're gonna see some serious shit. https://mastodon.radio/system/media_attachments/files/112/655/399/913/512/162/original/61afbb821f71bbd1.png npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Just watched the son of someone who I'd loosely class as a mate get nicked. The apple doesn't fall far from the cart as they say. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Weekend unlocked. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Ah, according to the notification I've just had my curry is ready for collection. I ate it last night. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB I haven't had coffee yet. I should rectify this. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub12u7…wtsg I can confirm they were just on the desk from a previous job and had nothing to do with earwax extraction. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Just remembered that I saw a load of solid 6mm ali things in the scrap at work earlier. Must remember to re-appropriate them for a better use. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Oh go on then. https://mastodon.radio/system/media_attachments/files/112/650/970/072/776/381/original/841ccc6f4243d5bb.jpg npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Thank Deus for Sodium Bicarbonate. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Fuck. I can hear again. I won't bother posting a photo of the size of the thing that's just come out of my ear. It's ewww. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub198t…hasj Back when I was on Facebook I used to do posts ripping apart Marketplace things. I kind of miss doing it but not enough to go back on Facebook to do it. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB I found a module using the LoRa chip I originally specified so I wouldn't have to bother about filtering and major antenna matching for this LoRa Hexpansion. Easily available as well so people wouldn't have to solder QFNs. Fucking won't fit because of the height restriction. Bollocks. I have some really bad ideas about making it fit. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Hell hath no fury like Motobility after the car recipient dies. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB I should point out that it isn't the type of ionisation thing that requires a specially trained furry on standby. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB I swear someone flipped the leads on my ionisation test source just to piss me off. It was probably me. I wasted 10 minutes trying to find out why my source temperature reading was utter bobbins. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1fuw…y3yp I don't recommend punching down fibre. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1qul…ftfj Yet again, he takes the credit for the work and research done by real geniuses. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Reasons I don't fear AI taking over #342324565 https://www.alliedcomponents.com/blog/maximum-voltage-across-resistor/amp npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1d9y…4rgc We were using it for that but we don't use it any more. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1qul…ftfj I hate this. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB I'm going to remove the feeds to our Sky Dish at the weekend. Anything easy and useful I could do with the dish that isn't a slot antenna? If so I'll chuck in the container rather than binning it. At the moment it's obviously fixed and pointing in one direction. That could be changed. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub16xf…zxfv Odd Indian wordery is fine, it's a big place with many regional differences but the actual English translations need some work. https://ayatcurryhouse.co.uk/menu/ If you want to see. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB I know that nad is a word. It just doesn't work the same way as "and" when you're trying to write a menu. It's not even a one off, it's all over the menu. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB However we've been lacking a curry house around my way since the Aroma debacle so I'll try this new one that opens soon and won't even pass judgement on the spellink mistakes on the menu until I've tasted it. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB If I had £1 for every curry description I read from BIR places that starts "A most famous and popular dish" I'd probably be quite well off and have a guaranteed income stream. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB I have found an untralight camping bed for £40 inc shipping on Aliexpress. 1.6kg. Worth a punt I suppose. The Helinox is chingy. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Just seen a post on $platform for $festival where someone was blaming the car park staff for him not being able to find his car. I don't bite very often but I did this time. What a prick. Just drop a Google Map pin or go "just right of the radio mast plus 100m". Yeah, took me a bit to find ours but I didn't expect anyone to find it for me. Entitled knob. Yeah, all the staff keep a database of where KN08 4ED has parked. Twat. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1asm…4pqa That sounds like TfW these days. Never thought I'd miss Arriva Trains Wales. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Just reading about these "AI Cameras" deployed on the rail network to detect emotions. I hope they can differentiate between normal anger and despair on the rail network that we all suffer from and someone actually suffering an emotional crisis. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Bought a "Maxim Smart Plug Socket" on a whim from one of the bargain shops for £6. Appears to be a rebadged Tuya. Can I get it working with Home Assistant as is? No. May play with the Tuya app later but the Maxim App won't let me connect HA. Not worried if I can't. This had one specific purpose and I don't need HA for it. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB As Nordic Spirit were sponsoring the festival they had an offer on the normal circular tubs. £6.50 for one (normal RRP) or £7.50 for two, so I loaded my pockets with that offer as well. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Tallied up Download hoard: 120 free nicotine pouches. I can live with that. That's a few week's worth. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB There's some wireless microphones in there though marked "VHF". They could be interesting but I'm too tired to go through it all. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB It seems that "yeah, I'll take that DVD copier off you" (so I could harvest the lasers) has turned into having 4 boxes of useless e-waste dumped on me while I was out. Yeah, thanks. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub13ru…67kn That was my normal order as well! Sometimes with olives. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Papa Johns have stopped offering anchovies as a topping. Cowards! That was the only reason I ever ordered pizza from them because their pizzas are crap. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1c0j…6t9s I was right, I did have one. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB One of the Coven did have to abandon her tent as it was fucked but we did make her take it to the bin. Plus I got to launch myself into it to break it even more which is something I've always wanted to do. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Me: Goes around the area where we pitched the tents picking up every tiny bit of litter. Everyone else: Abandons tents, chairs and everything else they could think of. People are bastards. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1cel…pmxm Photo or it didn't happen. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1cel…pmxm I would have done but I'm conscious of the strange bloke on the Internet thing. Anyway... Machine Head... npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB I did not expect Behind Blue Eyes to be played. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1cel…pmxm I did spot you earlier I think but didn't think you'd appreciate random internet man saying hello. If you spot some twat wearing cat ears with green hair, it's me.
