I did a cover The Gaslight Anthem song Halloween, because it's nearly Halloween. And I like the song. https://t.co/1ifuO0HcPQ

Got some brands confused and now I have to sleep on spaghetti bolognese.

They think garlic is some sort of exotic seasoning rather than a staple ingredient.

My parents don't rest meat after it is cooked, keep sauces in the cupboard, and have chocolate (including a full box of chocolates) in the fridge. I honestly don't think I can live like this. They must have no ability to taste or experience texture.

It took me years to convince them to preheat their oven.

Any time I see someone try to call video games violent or evil I remember this review a father left for Stardew Valley on steam.

Look who has had a heroic* return to Glasgow Uni this week.

And the weather's evidently lovely.

Although I will add that if a TV series that has been off the air for a long time is renewed for additional seasons, it isn't a reboot either.

[Brian Colquhoun @article82]

If a film adaption of a book is made, and then another film adaption of the book is created some years or decades later, the second film is not a "reboot". I will be taking no further questions.

@IainAGrahamRFC Thank you! Having to work, but nice day nonetheless.

[Brian Colquhoun @article82]

@Amariarv Haha, exactly right!

Scientists around the world are investigating how a dwindling number of people have managed to dodge the coronavirus for more than two years, even after the highly transmissible omicron variant drove a record-shattering surge in cases this winter. https://t.co/v56knNTG6p

@JoeLewisdixon I have an advantage over you in that I have not lived in the USA. Similarly, I only spent some about half of the pandemic in the UK.

[Brian Colquhoun @article82]

@JoeLewisdixon Yep! Almost everyone I know has had it but somehow I've been fine for over 2 years and counting.

[Brian Colquhoun @article82]

Probably jinxed it now.

Don't understand people who settle in for a 10 minute train journey -- hand luggage and jackets on the overhead racks and all -- like I do for a 7 hour flight.

@Andrew_Taylor This is great! I'm not finding it super easy, which is good. Could be here a while.
