  I've just spent a good half hour or so attempting to block all 'Taylor Swift' articles from my news channels. I've not been able to find a solution on my phone BBC News app, so I've changed it to Google News app. I've managed to block also whilst using my desktop browser, thanks to uBlock Origin. Now to set up a filter in Mastodon, just in case! 🙂

  It will be interesting to see if Pochettino selects the player, and if the player is willing to play against Belgium, as this could have a bearing on the future careers of each. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c1myykx0gmxo #fwc #trump #infantino #balogun

  I was recommended to try cold meats and bread from a local 'Polski Sklep', and was informed that there shouldn't be a language barrier, for a Brit with no knowledge of Polish! I was looking for 'Pimento/Olive Loaf' and a 'Bierwurst' style of cold meats. However, I didn't have much success in explaining what I wanted, and came away with these, I hope that is more or less what I wanted! Also bought some 'Chleb Staropolski&...

  Having this happen to me would be my idea of Hell! Imagine, driving an on-slip to the motorway, only to then find out there's gridlock - nothing moving! I'm sure I would suddenly feel an urgent need to pee! If only on-slips had an escape exit! And no, I don't mean reversing on the hard shoulder! https://theconversation.com/dont-change-lanes-the-maths-of-holiday-traffic-jams-287389 #cars

  I've only gone and done it again! I had a 'brainwave' and registered yet another domain name, even though I promised myself I wouldn't. You never know, I might find an actual use for this one this time! 🙄 #domains #registrars

  I'm looking forward to resurgent German Football under the leadership of Jürgen Klopp, but I wonder if the team will now be sponsored by Trivago! ⚽ #football #fußball #germany #deutschland

  I've been experimenting with EU-based DNS and domain registrars, with some spare domains: ClouDNS - for DNS only, a quick learning curve of their UI required. Free for 1 domain. Gcore - for DNS only, that was really easy to set up! Multiple domains allowed, it's free providing you don't exceed monthly 'requests'. INWX - for domain registrar and DNS, had a few head-scratching moments, but with a bit of help from their support, it was soon up and running....

  Invincible, Invisible, or both? Invincible - released 1985, peaked at No.53 in UK, No.10 in US: https://youtu.be/5A4xBp2rizQ Invisible - released 1984, peaked at No.21 in UK, No.31 in US: https://youtu.be/Z8CeAHfAD2w #music #pop #nostalgia

  Deeply Dippy, anyone? Released in 1992, reached no.1 in UK, but failed to chart in US. The middle section featuring the prominent horn arrangement (the instrumental bridge) is something I enjoy listening to over and over again! https://youtu.be/ccP_SaeyT7Q #pop #music #nostalgia

  It's not enough? Released in 1989, peaked at no.87 in UK, no.12 in US. I first heard this song, playing in a MTV video in a music shop in Oostende (Belgium). https://youtu.be/zSZnq5ZbP1w #music #rock #nostalgia

  Born to Be Wild! Released in 1968, peaked at no.30 in UK, no.2 in US. This was one of the first songs played by my fledgling band way back when, and I remember listening to the track over and over again with headphones on, to learn how to play the bass line! https://youtu.be/igvP806798U #rock #music #nostalgia

  I'm busily typing away when I realize that my wireless keyboard had stopped responding - yep, batteries need replacing! 🙄 Got my old wired keyboard out and plugged it in. 👍 I did the same a few weeks ago when the batteries gave out on my wireless mouse! 🙄 I'm still using it now! 👍

  I recall overhearing a conversation at work where I thought I heard a young lady say "I went commando last night". 😱 After a quick clarification, what she actually said was "I went to Nando's last night". 😌 https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/food-drink-news/its-been-crowned-trafford-centres-33742834 #food #wirescrossed
