I really enjoyed Pokemon gold and silver.
I’m not really into platinum and I’ve not tried any of the newer ones but the nostalgia isn’t there without the original gen Pokemon.
That fucking clock change along with a protracted nap had me going to sleep at 5.30 yesterday and as my fellow Matthew Walker disciples will know, that does mean I'm due an even bigger daily meltdown today.
I fell down the stairs last night. No skin on my thumb, now.
Signal cutting for the goal.
Lol at that not being a penalty.
I tried to be kind but yea it was one of the funnier videos I'd ever seen.
Has anyone ever made a scarecrow?
I plan on, to keep the birds from eating my new expensive grass seeds, and will be using sticks I forage from nearby green areas, newspaper, and old clothes. Might try to paper mache a balloon for a head and get the littlun involved.
Any pointers/ideas?

Just hire Lofty.
Get a gun, you’ve loads time now.
Hangin up a baby's onesie scared the crows shitless from our Cherry tree so try that before you start engineering AI.
May actually crack on with the work towards giving proper financial advice and not just Mortgage’s and equity release. Then if I’ve done that and this shit still isn’t over will maybe look to learn a language. Or at least be passable in one.
Are you patching up existing grass or trying to lay a lawn?
If the former, just wet the ground, dump a load if grass seeds down on the patches, and use a shovel to stab the shit out of the ground you put it on. Birds will eat some, enough will remain to fill the gap.
If the latter, just lay some turf.
That said - scarecrows are fun. I might make one with my kids just for the fun of it.
Well it’s currently about 50% moss so gonna rake most of it up, iron sulphate what’s left and then rake it again in a fortnight, so it will be like starting from scratch.
But yeah it’s more of a fun thing to do with my daughter, cos she likes some scarecrows wedding book.

All of Seinfeld is on the Channel 4 player, so I'm going to watch those.
I tried to watch that ages ago and Jerry Seinfeld's acting is just too bad for me to get past. He's so bad I'm not convinced he could act sad if his mum died.
After the first 10-15 episodes it properly picks up and then goes on a 100+ episode form streak before gradually tailing off at the end.
Once George, Elaine and Kramer get properly established it doesn't really matter that Jerry can't act as he is just a straight man for them.
I watched through Seinfeld about 9 months ago and it was bloody great. Stick with it.
Frasier is the superior show.
Frasier was good. Still watchable. Never liked Seinfeld.
I find the last couple of seasons of Frasier a bit meh but it was really good for ages.
I don’t know if I’ll be in lockdown in autumn.

Also, who doesn't want moss? It's the ultimate lawn thing. Doesn't grow like a bastard, super soft under foot, always green.
Anyone know any games I can play with people online, like live while on a video session? Board games especially, and cross platform.
Scrabble on Facebook? I'd rinse you.
Lots of board games and game shows have digital versions, there's also Tabletop Simulator which I think lets you re-create almost anything. You'd probably all need a version to play together though.
Windows would do, the one constant in every house.
I played 7 wonders the other day on tabletop simulator. I didn't realise tabletop sim actually simulates the physical action of playing it like you would in real life, i.e. having to physically move the cards around and shit. like a version of online poker where you have to shuffle the cards yourself, i fucking hated it.
Any good mobile games to play with other people?
I might stream a game of charades. Who's in?!
Decided to [finally, cos I’d been wanting to do it since I got the car in September 2018] remove the lettering from the back of my car. Then cleaned both cars. Mine looks ace now.
Next job is fitting the dash cam, but I’m not sure I’ve enough tools. We’ll see.
Lockdown is quality.
I'm a twit
Tools?
Mike and The Reid.
Does one of you have a computer that would could share a screen with?
The Jackbox games are absolutely fantastic games that involve anyone that you can play with your phone but I think being able to see the game helps.
Edit: if people are interested in happy to put together a tutorial on how you’d do that by the way.
