@tregeagle Slowly surmounting my #ITPTSD. -

Also underscores, in his last year before being sacked, the pressure Shane was under and the unwanted responsibility he was burdened with. Remarkably little money per gig for eight band members and six crew touring year round with few breaks, and the expectation that he could carry on effortlessly producing works of genius indefinitely and get up night after night to maintain the livelihood of all these other people. I barely work 20 hours a week, am responsible for one small fluffy person of modest needs, and I drink too much. #Pogues https://microblog.mjd.id.au/attachment/36899 -

"Food must not be of the fast food, chips with everything type […] The band have a preference for traditional style cooking". The #Pogues: the most middle class, politically correct [post-]punk band ever (in an admittedly crowded field). https://boingboing.net/2020/06/26/check-out-the-pogues-tour-ri.html -

The Never-ending Festival of Loud Bland Music continues here at the #Aloha, as F-bomb Freddy tries to provoke a reaction. He's right, you know. Somebody here is trying to get him evicted. He's trying very hard indeed. -

However, I'm not entirely convinced this is so much of a problem, outside of a context where other bedrooms are inversely qualified: https://boingboing.net/2020/06/26/master-bedroom-and-maste.html "I'm sorry: _what_ kind of bedroom?" "Yes, it's quite a quirky feature. A lot of people comment on it." -

Why did this never occur to me as objectionable nomenclature? I'll never look at an IDE cable the same way again. https://boingboing.net/2020/06/29/for-triggers-gates-clocks-a.html Mind you, my chances of seeing an IDE cable at all are rather slim. I'm _fairly_ sure I threw my last one out. -

@tregeagle Exactly. His chronic insecurity is (partly) assuaged by keeping everybody around him fearful. His profanity-laced invective (or perhaps invective-laced profanity) on Saturday contained some curiously archaic-sounding expressions. Did he learn them from Daddy, I wonder? #Aloha -

@tregeagle This one's all gob. My worry is that to make his threats credible he has to occasionally execute one or two. -

@tregeagle I've too many things to learn to be able to spare any time for education. -

#Aloha update: F-bomb Freddy has resurfaced after a couple of days sleeping it off. After a few tentative f***s and c***s from 9am, he's now cranked up the stereo. He's spoiling for a fight. Terrific. -

#TheDollop on Ronald #Reagan. Highly recommended tour down "OMFG I'd repressed that!" lane. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZlRX1EVnSw -

@tregeagle Snap. My shift should have been cancelled. Within an hour the #work had run out and I was reduced to collecting and crushing cardboard. It needed to to be done, and it should be done more often because shopping in my gaff can feel rather like dumpster diving. But it made my regular job seem fascinating by comparison. Also, I got a paper cut. Stupid cardboard! I crush you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t4pmlHRokg -

…aaand now the police are back. I'm sensing a developing rhythm to the evening. First Avenue #Sawtell, ladies and gentlemen. Absolute pinnacle of the #Coffs lifestyle. Imagine: I could be living some squalid life in a city. What? And give up all this? -

Oh, good. Now we're back to screaming abuse and death threats. Where will it end? #Aloha -

Well there's a thing. Somebody has attempted to firebomb F-bomb Freddy's ute with aerosol cans. How very MacGyver. He suddenly seems uncharacteristically happy to talk to the police. #Aloha -

@tregeagle Just got the text. Can't respond just now. Kicking off again with F-bomb Freddy and the #Aloha gang, who appear to have been drinking all afternoon and are now shrieking abuse at each other. Drawing the blinds and laying low. Too stressed to be convivial till it dies down. -

At my age, the worst thing about taming nasal hair is the phone calls to the wives. I lost some good men on that last expedition, damn it. -

Aw, what?! Brad was just warming up in Tulsa! Besides, how can #Trump 2020 not have a single Brad on the team? Obviously Chad would be okay in the job, and Thad would be great, but neither has the upper body strength to take Brad's place in the official campaign rowing four. That's a big, beefy lycra body suit they have to fill. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/06/after-tulsa-parscale-and-kushner-on-trumps-hit-list
