“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Friday T&A: Word to the Weiss Edition

Friday T&A: Word to the Weiss Edition

The clown car crash that is the Drumpf White House continues, with the hiring and firing, in record time, of the latest Press Secretary. It is amusing, in a rather sordid way, though the internal chaos in the current Administration really just reflects how disjointed...
Friday T&A: Fuelled Edition

Friday T&A: Fuelled Edition

Yes, this is late again, and that is because I was at a concert on Friday, and then spent most of Saturday recovering. If you have ever been to a death metal concert – never mind a Viking death metal concert – you know how much that takes out of you, especially as you...
Friday T&A: Border Dispute Edition

Friday T&A: Border Dispute Edition

I missed the instalment from last week, out of a combination of sheer laziness, and a dire need for sleep (due to having what in most cases amounts to a mild cold, but for some reason ended up being a proper Man-Flu). So, this week, in the wake of the MFIC’s...

Friday T&A: Golden Roofs of Miklagaard Edition

I am finally back after a couple of weeks off, during which time I was essentially doing a whole lot of nothing. And that was no bad thing. This description is not entirely accurate, of course, but this was a family trip, not a solo one, and as such, the pace of...
Friday T&A: Love Bites Edition

Friday T&A: Love Bites Edition

At this rate, I suppose I really should rename this segment, “Weekend T&A”, but that really does not have quite the same ring to it. So we will stick with what works – for now. The title of this poast comes directly from the name of the lovely lady of the week....
Friday T&A: Freefall Edition

Friday T&A: Freefall Edition

This poast is rather late, even by my quite dreadful standards, but all I can say is that it was a busy week that required some HARDCORE recovery. And that is precisely what I was doing yesterday. Part of that process involved a Netherflix documentary about Boeing,...
Friday T&A: Binface Edition

Friday T&A: Binface Edition

People living in PommieBastardLande have been subjected to a very weird spectacle over the past few weeks, wherein one Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform Party – which is really just WEForm, to be honest, but that is another matter – got into serious trouble for...
Friday T&A: Death Becomes It Edition

Friday T&A: Death Becomes It Edition

I am in an especially antisocial mood this weekend, having spent quite a bit of it on the road, and the rest of it bored out of my gourd at an, admittedly very pretty and scenic, office deep in the countryside. This has been one of those weeks where you kind of have...
Friday T&A: Very Strongly Edition

Friday T&A: Very Strongly Edition

We somehow made it through another week without Ornj Boi doing something REALLY stupid and then calling it the greatest thing ever, with very strong results that no one else has ever achieved. So that is something to celebrate, I suppose. The problem is, of course,...
Friday T&A: Black Sea Blues Edition

Friday T&A: Black Sea Blues Edition

The Black Sea is a part of the world that most people in the West are not terribly familiar with, unless they happen to have spent some time in Bulgaria, Turkey, or the other bits of the eastern Mediterranean. It is, of course, a very historic area, and served as a...
