Last Notes npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B I was chatting earlier about moving to the Fedi, how what I post has developed over time and how revolutionary it has been for me. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B @nprofile…dyu0 npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B @nprofile…zvpa npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B @nprofile…l7em npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B Now I just want to say, I really appreciate these folks pressing a limited edition of an album previously unavailable on vinyl. I absolutely respect this dedication to bringing music to people. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B As suspected, the old red telephone box converted into a community library did not yield any literary fiction or classics. Unless you consider Jilly Cooper, Jeffrey Archer or Catherine Cookson among the greats. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B The Fedi/Mastodon is revelatory, I love it, but the emotional weight is greater and very different. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B None of my 3D, long term friends are on here. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B It's that time of the month soon (first Wednesday) when my community radio show airs. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B Damn. Just found out Sly Dunbar, legendary drummer and record producer, one half of Sly and Robbie, has died. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B The big guy sends his regards :mastodon: npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B @nprofile…nekg npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B I'm not saying you should listen to Širom every day (even though I do, pretty much). npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B I posted about being stressed out and turned to the Fediverse for some light relief. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B Most of our heroes seem to be wronguns eventually. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B I'm having a terrible and incredibly stressful week, on numerous fronts, but fuck that and them for a while. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B @nprofile…8mxe npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B Spammers really are getting pretty sophisticated these days. This week alone I've had really targeted emails enticing me with; npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B The Young Team have a theory that Daphne is playing us for sympathy treats now. She is not always wonky, but definitely is mega-wonked when there's food around. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B I don't want to be an online influencer princess about it, but I'm shocked more people haven't liked the photo of a dog shit I took earlier, taking time out of my busy day and shared, FOR YOU, online. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B @nprofile…s5ph npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B I've had a proper, proper shit day at work. Some beancounting fuckwit in the US has decided sacking one of my team to "reduce headcount" would make a fucking spreadsheet look a tiny bit better for the end of year accounts. They've even helpfully suggested who it should be, despite having fuck all knowledge about what they do or who they are. Just a fucking number. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B A huge mention of love and appreciation for the Spanish neurologist vet, Inés, who almost certainly saved Daphne's life. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B Daphne update npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B Daphne update. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B Could really do with some good vibes my friends. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B "Someone spilt gravy on the dog" is a phrase I just heard uttered. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B Just in case anyone was thinking of using this phrase, please be aware the Youngest does appear to have established "you horrible old man" as a catchphrase, and you may be subject to legal retribution. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B One of my team decided to try and use Copilot (Microsoft AI) to draft a holiday season rota and output it into Excel. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B "Dead to the world" npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B I've been watching Slow Horses (TV series) and while I'm enjoying it, it has a distracting element that's quite specific to me. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B @eclectech @nprofile…9050 npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B @nprofile…6ljh npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B I give zero fucks about numbers here. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B The Southbank Centre npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B For the sake of clarity, there is legal precedent and the defence in any "whoever smelt it dealt it" case in English law can envoke the "whoever said the rhyme, committed the crime" clause and the case will be thrown out of court. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B #TOTP npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B Getting in early to wish all the USA Fedifolk a very Happy Thanksgiving, however you choose to celebrate. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B TL:DR Mats a boring bastard who makes his life seem interesting by editing out 95% for everyones sanity. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B Daphne was unimpressed, even a bit dismissive of the giant onion. I don't think she appreciates me using her head as a comparison for scale. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B The B family went on a shopping trip into London today, minus me. Fashionable stores in Soho and the West end. They were out all day, I feared the worst for the B finances. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B The ongoing battle of wills with my "smart" washing machine continues. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B Warning: Very long sentimental post. npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B FREE GIG TICKET TOMORROW NIGHT IN LONDON npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B Communication npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B @nprofile…njqj npub1vnjd3k0l9clzfewesceu9vpu80mfq77w94zp8gcv3ftzn3mel8qs9qdapa Mat B I've discovered I'm blocked by a few people in the last few weeks.
