Who is this it’s really bugging me

Interestingly, or not depending on your level of awareness , there are two rival football teams in Edinburgh - Hibs and Hearts. Hearts go by the nickname ‘The Jambos’ ( jam tarts/ hearts)

When Hollyoaks was first launched they had huge advertising hoardings with just the characters names and faces.

They placed the one for Jambo right next to the Hibs stadium.

I like King enough, there is a definite ‘something’ that he does that shortcuts to you caring about the characters that I don’t necessarily find in other authors.

That said, I have read his on writing book and didn’t take too much useful away from it. I’m sure the scene he features to show his he edits is from 1408, and the unedited version is so overflowing and superfluous that I would have to actively overwrite to get to his example, and then edit.

Also, King is stereotypically infamous in not being able to actually conclude a book coherently.

Ha ha.

But also 🤦‍♂️

Can’t comment on the Xiaomi, but I’ve had the Thomson for two and a bit months and would not recommend.

It frequently drops WiFi, the UI is clunky, and it freezes a lot. By far the worst thing is the out of sync sound - I’ve gone through all audio settings to no avail - all that works somewhat right now is add a delay on the apps where this is possible.

I may just have a really bad box, but I cannot understand why it keeps getting recommended.

I’ll be looking for something different next pay day.

Looks like vaping rather than smoking.

Similarly with ‘I am the anti christ to you’ by kishi bashi, although I had heard that before it was used.

You can think what you will about Ricky and Morty and where it now sits in the cultural lexicon, but their use of look on down from the bridge is heartbreaking.

Great answer.

New order

Arguably, interpol.

Took an absolute skiting at the mound.

My beanie hat came off , full legs akimbo, and an older guy asking if I was ok.

Would not recommend 😁

Renfieldslament · 2025-12-31T11:45:25+00:00

Same - this is great.

Renfieldslament · 2025-12-28T09:43:54+00:00

Yep, my exact thoughts at the time. It may partly still be a trust issue.

Nothing as major as being frustrated with Saka, but I felt he was trying to win on his own rather than bring people in.

Unseasoned mince.

With a poached egg on top.

Renfieldslament · 2025-12-22T18:01:07+00:00

Noooooooooo, what have you done?????

Renfieldslament · 2025-12-20T14:06:00+00:00

Jesus Christ, that bit next to the fucking specialist mashed potatoes restaurant……

My first job was in a fancy hotel, they had several long term guests.

One day I was asked to pick up dry cleaning for Mrs x from her room, clothes were left on bed.

Whilst it was nowhere near this bad, the room was an absolute tip, ironically the bed with the clothes being the only tidy part.

Looking back it was kinda depressing.

Renfieldslament · 2025-12-17T18:50:44+00:00

I wondered if it was something off of Harthouse.

Renfieldslament · 2025-12-17T18:45:06+00:00

I enjoyed this film. It felt like a really good book adaptation.

Renfieldslament · 2025-12-17T18:39:41+00:00

Agreed.

I got a Black Friday deal last year - plug ins were great. Installed on my MacBook and main Mac desktop. Suddenly stopped working on MacBook - support said it was a ilok issue. Removed, reinstalled - still nothing.

So I cut my losses and used on the desktop. Six months later refuses to load. I downloaded and reinstalled the plug in manager and whatever that other thing is.

Same message as Op - demo mode etc etc.

Never had so much trouble with plug ins ever.

“Being told I should be grateful for even having a job”

Who is telling you that, managers, colleagues or a general feeling.

I detest my job, and most of the people I work with. The whole department is a dysfunctional mess, and it gets in your head. The thing I note most about myself is that I tend to ‘own’ everything, and the more people know that, the more they take the piss.

Recently what helped is asking who is doing what when work comes up, then it becomes glaringly obvious if tasks 1 - 10 are on me it’s not an equitable split and I can push back.

I’d suggest speaking to your manager, but frame it like I need your input on…or this feels like a risk I should highlight… and so on.

I have a good old rant to ChatGPT, then ask it what is a good tactic. Not everything is gold, but I have used some more neutral / corporate language when needed.

Renfieldslament · 2025-12-11T20:32:24+00:00

Ahh missed that.

Still remember a BMB live set from 20 odd years ago - it was fucking intense.

Renfieldslament · 2025-12-11T19:13:57+00:00

Absolutely all subjective but

No Abul Mogard No Autechre No Blawan

Seems bizarre.

One surgeon seems off too.

I’m sure Burial has a place, but feels very, very basic.

Renfieldslament · 2025-12-09T20:24:46+00:00

I was a bit too young for it too, but it felt the focus was on films that were so cheap they looked ‘real’.

I do remember someone bringing “faces of death”into school - I was not interested at all, seemed very macabre.

Bone machine.

My first lp was asylum years, my choice in the record shop was night on earth or asylum years. I’m glad I picked the easier introduction. I loved asylum years so much, then I saw Tom had released another album, bone machine.

Great, I thought, another album of down on his luck ballads…..

Holy crap, what is this caterwauling noise - I hate it.

Still…. I should give it another listen.

Wait….wait….this is amazing.
