In our house, we sing almost anything with two syllables to Love Shack, and improvise the rest of the lyrics as needed.

Our 'Ladyhawke' DVD is so old that one side is 'standard' and one side is 'widescreen.'
Our net electricity cost last month was -£52.
Solar FTW.
A syllogism for cooks:
1) slicing blades on food processor disks are designed to cut things
2) fingers are things
therefore
3) I need to find a sticking plaster
(No serious damage was done, I was picking it up out of the dish drainer and was ... insufficently rigourous in my grasping strategy.)
I read more comics

And as a reminder, I'm planning on liquidating most of these comics, so if you're in the UK (or even better Norfolk or Cambridgeshire) and might be interested in expanding your collection, let me know.

We went to vote at 1630ish local time, and there was a smallish line, but consistent.
Which is nice to see.
We're a bit of a commuter town, so I suspect that there has been a bit of a surge since then.

Thanks for pointing me at Femme Feral - I finished it this past weekend, and though it was was pretty good. I enjoyed it quite a bit.
I quite like Irn Bru. On a very hot day, I dilute it with cold water.
Aah. Refreshing.
I'm already looking forward to the clocks changing in a couple of weeks so I can start going to the office in the dark again.
A French General sums up nicely.

Dammit. Now I want hashbrowns.
The working machine is not network connected so I load Audacity onto a thumb drive, thence onto the computer, plug everything in, and test the setup with a different casette to make sure things are working.
They are!
I press play on the tape deck, record on the computer, and 14 minutes later, I've got my songs!
They aren't very good. One isn't too bad, and I actually quite like the bass line I put together for another one.But I've heard them for the first time in thirty years.
Win!

Several songs with that title are out there, but all are - yes - AI generated.
(I've got a broken epee stuck in the chimney bricks in my office with the 'Video Killled the Radio Star' 45 hanging on it - a place of honour.)

So, 18 years old or so ;-)
For me, that kind of tracks, since I've been a grumpy old man since my mid-30s.
