How far you can get by train in 5 hours, and, presumably, a couple of hundred quid chronotrains-eu.vercel.app
The thing at football when the keeper takes a goal kick and everyone does ‘ooooooh….you fat bast**d….aaaah’
A young keeper must feel they’ve really made it, the first time that happens
A proper rite of passage
My word of the day today is ‘sparrow’.
Annual-ish tweet to the effect that the blackberries seem early this year
Got up at daft o’clock this morning and daftly went running
The bonus was that there was nobody about, so I went down the slide
5 out of 15
oh, the shame….
It reminded me of how I once saw JCC in Castle Street, outside Hussey’s Houses

That day has not yet come, but I’m enjoying ‘Partys Over’
Pleased to see that the Guardian squeezes a mention of the @Russell_Cotes museum into its pre-season preview of @afcbournemouth
My word of the day today is ‘giggle’.
#TodayILearned that, on my laptop,

#TodayILearned that to insert the current date in vim you can do:
:put =strftime('%d %B %Y')
I haven’t yet worked out how to make it insert 2nd, 15th etc rather than just 2, or 15.
#TodayILearned how to un-expire an AD password
Set-ADUser -Identity username -Replace @{pwdlastset=“0”}
Set-ADUser -Identity username -Replace @{pwdlastset="-1"}
My word of the day today is ‘scamper’.
