20 year old me just got a little bit excited. 40-odd year old me is sad that he's never going to fit back into his leather trench coat.

I didn't mind the Preludes trilogy. In fact, there's a scene in House Harkonnen (I think) which has stuck in my mind and made me vow to destroy any Harkonnen I ever meet. The Denis Villeneuve films could do with that sort of scene as currently I don't despise the Harkonnens in his adaptation the way I feel I should.

The Legends trilogy I managed to get through by sheer determination, but the rot was setting in and I only managed half of the first sequels book before giving up.

Bearing in mind that I didn't really think too highly of Heretics and Chapterhouse, but I haven't given them a re-read for many many years.

You're not wrong, that grass is far too green.

I usually hate pre-ordering anything after learning my lesson with No Man's Land, but Hellraiser is my no. 1 horror film. So that's happening.

At home.

DeLonghi BTC long and unadulterated. I don't have a favourite bean as I like variety. Followed swiftly by another before the DeLonghi switches off.

On the ship (for that is where I work) French Press, very coarse, something citrusy like Ethiopian Yirg. Left to stew for about 10 to 15 minutes.

I want to change out my DeLonghi for a Sage. It'll happen someday.

I moved into a new build property just before winter. ASHP, hot water tank, solar panels and under floor heating. There were some teething problems with a frozen pipe, but that was due to an imbalanced feedback valve. Since that was solved I've had no problem with the system.

Ask me for an update after this winter and the system is a year old.

I'll have a tin of spam, a tin of beans and wash that bad boy down with a can of McEwan's Export.

We made it... and we can break it just as easily!

I'm certain that I'm not the only one who reads headlines like this and thinks "good for them, let's not go ruining it for the locals shall we"

I didn't go, but watching on the telebox, this was my set of the festival.

By promoting that "we're the lowest of the low. The scum of the fucking earth. The most miserable, wretched, servile, pathetic thrash that was ever shat into civilization..."

I lived on Mull for 2 years and regarded the island as Skye's overfill carpark. My second year there was during the first Covid lockdown where we had the whole island to ourselves. It was glorious. Not a camper van to be seen.

The problem with "moral" problems is, who sets the morals? The church has been setting them for years, but they are now regarded as outdated and, to be frank, not a shining example of good "morality".
