@TheBreadmonkey Oh, you made a lovely paella for your family did you? That's cultural appropriation. You monster chef.

@TheBreadmonkey @MiniMia Cheers for the heads up brother Ben.I've never actually been to the Albert Hall. I can't quite believe that myself.

@TheBreadmonkey @MiniMia Jealous (not of being besties with a Love Rat, but of seeing the YYY's who I love).

@TheBreadmonkey @MiniMia I remember the fruit knife story. Is your mate a Fulham fan because he sounds right in our demographic.

TL:DR In the old days not everything was cynical I don't want to sound like an old sod but two things close to my heart from the 60s and 70s are unimaginable in the modern age. Both examples were publicly funded, and the freedom and free thinking back then are almost impossible to comprehend in the modern day.1) The NASA Voyager One probe Gold record. As a vinyl enthusiast this is like catnip to me. A record, made of gold, shot out into space (now flying beyond our solar system) etched with hieroglyphics of how to play the content of the disc for alien civilizations to interpret. Images of humans, directions to locate us and a selection of sounds representing the music of earth and brief, welcoming messages in dialects from across our planet.A wholesome message in a bottle from Earth. No politics, no religion, no commercial interest, just reaching out to the cosmos. Hopeful. Strangely naive in a kind of cute way. Uncynical. 2) The BBC Radiophonic Workshop. A program where sound boffins, men and, unusually for the times, women, were basically paid and given resources to fiddle about making electronic sounds/music for the BBC. An experimental audio laboratory, publicly funded, with little to no agenda other than to produce audio for TV and radio. Delia Derbyshire (one of my heroes) created the original Dr Who theme which, to this day, is one of the most starkly original pieces of music produced in the last century. Nothing like it had ever been heard before. She made music and sounds that today are commonplace but in 1963, were revolutionary. Publicly funded, no commercial or political influence.Nothing remotely like this had been heard by the general public, now we take it for granted.

@Shivviness Completely. Can you imagine, a state focussed on the welfare of its people and the betterment of society and culture. The NHS, the Welfare State and the BBC were cornerstones of post war Britain, now all three are political battlegrounds, being eroded by capitalism and vested interests beyond the general public.

This time last week I boarded a flight home from France, on my own and a bit jaded, sat in an aisle seat. Across the aisle was a lady with a little girl of about 18 months old sat on her lap.I'm a broody old fella, love kids but, you know, particularly on my own without Mrs B, I'm a bit reserved so I just ignored the little one who was staring at me constantly. Eventually I cracked. I gave her a little smile and winked at her (fuck knows why but I often wink at tiny kids, like I'm breaking cover from being a po faced old man, don't tell anyone but I'd rather spend my time chatting to you than dealing with all the big folks).That was it. She beams at me, with all 4 of her teeth, and starts giving me an uncordinated little wave, which attracts Mums attention and a smile in my direction. I wave back. Delighted, now I'm getting the even more uncordinated hand claps. Mum says this is her newest trick and we indulge and encourage her, she's having a whale of a time (so am I but I can't show it too much because somehow that's a bit weird).We all settle in and go back into reserved adults surrounded by strangers mode, but for the next 2 hours I could feel those little eyes trained on me waiting for another wave. Eventually we got to wave goodbye. Sorry little one (I'm pretty sure she's not on Mastodon so won't see this), being an adult is weird and I would have gladly clapped along with you for two hours rather than stare at a screen because it's weird to just be nice.

Curious to find out how many people know the joke about the inventor of the USBs funeral? (Joke posted in the replies)

"When the inventor of the USB stick dies, they'll lower the coffin, then pull it back up, turn it the other way, and gently lower it again."

Bit of advice folks. Only open one can of worms at a time. No matter how much you like worms.

Need a timeline cleanse so here's a terribly executed joke (stolen from elsewhere).

Ok, so on their consumer travels today Mrs B came across this Home Alone Christmas tree bauble.My sight can be a bit fuzzy but this Macaulay Culkin, no discernable hands, sex doll effigy, made of glass doesn't scream Christmas to me.

Daphne was unimpressed, even a bit dismissive of the giant onion. I don't think she appreciates me using her head as a comparison for scale.

@mothninja @TheBreadmonkey The thing I always wonder about The Sport is, where do they get the photos of the people in the stories from?

Love to everyone who has been invested and with us on Daphne's incredible journey.So many lovely people who care, be it through comments, or likes on posts, have been comfort to me. I didn't need telling that you're a good bunch of people, I already knew, but you've reinforced it anyway :bb:(She's recovered so well she's now taking up an inconvenient amount of my bed again, as per pre-stroke, but now I have to be grateful rather than irritated by it 😂)
