Still… $17.50 for a movie ticket! Won't be shelling that out for the inevitable reboot of the Last Starfighter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7NaxBxFWSo -

Slipped out of asylum at the Ecuadoran embassy in #Sawtell to catch the last showing of the latest #StarWars. Lots of death and mayhem culminating in group hugs. What more do you want? I'm sure #Disney will carry on flogging the dead horse until the bones are clean, but I'm glad that I saw all first nine mainline features at the cinema on first release. (Bonus nerd points: I saw Return of the Jedi a second time at the Caringbah Drive-in.) -

No ordinary person can enjoy the Pina Colada Song loudly and unironically. The deadbeat divorcees round my manor are certainly exceptional specimens. The ex-wives of #Sawtell must be kicking themselves. -

#RIP Roger Scruton. Not many decent conservatives left now. http://dailynous.com/2020/01/12/roger-scruton-1944-2020/ -

Oh, my heavens. That's monumental. And exciting, if you're of a firmer constitution than myself, which you are. I've some storage boxes if you need them, and of course I'll be a referee on your lease application. Apparently real estate is booming there. It now costs more to secure a rental than to fill a fridge with beer, which is the second thing one does on moving to #theYabba. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqWvWR8KYFw -

Rum belongs in chocolate. https://tregeagle.com/posts/rum-in-the-bahamas/ Brandy in cakes. Whisk[e]y in solemn toasts to the departed. Vodka in cigarette lighters and various industrial processes. Wine and beer in me, though in very gradual increments at my age. -

"I live a lot of my professional life puzzling over social class and what-not. I can tell you this with the confidence of one thousand ancestors: almost all white elites think phrenology and race science are legitimate ideas.

@tregeagle Tangentially related, I love a good graph: https://fredblog.stlouisfed.org/2019/12/how-has-the-u-k-stock-market-fared-lo-these-past-300-years/ -

@tregeagle Over 50% treasuries and less than 10% corporate is certainly playing it safe. I wonder what the definition of "semi-government entities" is. The remaining corporatised but not-yet-wholly privatised chunks of government? -

#RIP Wendy Willams, who brilliantly under-played Vira in the Ark in Space, the paradigmatic "base under seige" story. http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2019/12/wendy-williams-1934-2019.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S4X-fXWtmM #DrWho -

I used to love a camp pie and pickled onion sandwich on crusty white bread. https://meandmybigmouth.com.au/camp-pie/ -

@tregeagle Certainly there's a problem with pacing yourself in a 3-pub crawl. We need a larger town with more to look at between rounds. When I got home I had a drink with dinner, poured myself a second, sat down, then woke up half an hour later and went to bed. There goes my hell-raising reputation.
