A pretty large spreadsheet into which goes all the incomings and outgoings, logged and averaged over 12 months to give a pretty accurate idea of how much disposable income me and my partner will have after all the bills and savings have been calculated.
No. I put it in the air fryer
Cautionary Tales by Tim Harford.
Takes stories of errors, mistakes, catastrophes of the far and recent past and analyses the causes of them and what lessons can be learned. Everything from assigning success to personality over circumstance to the “curse of information” to what to do in a plane crash.
Interesting, insightful, exceptionally well written and presented, always interesting and entertaining.
Montserrat in the Caribbean. Visited multiple times as a kid after the volcano as I had family working there in regeneration projects. Beautiful place, beautiful people, wouldove to see it again as an adult and see how it’s changed now.
We went on a highly illegal and potentially dangerous trip (if the volcano went off again, by the time we heard it, it would be too late to escape) to see the old airport from where you can see directly up the volcano and the path the pyroclastic flow took and covered the terminal building which was half buried in the dust.
There were wild horses roaming and nature was already starting to reclaim the place so the intervening 30 years probably have accelerated that and I’d love to see it.
They’re called ROMs, can’t give you links because that’s naughty but if you use your reputable search engine of choice for Gameboy ROMs you can find them pretty easily.

You need to receive news from a broad variety of sources, not just those that agree with your viewpoint or have a particular agenda.
Al Jazeera obviously have a pro-Qatari but less so than Fox News for example or any billionaire owned newspaper/TV channel have biases.
Aggregate from all sides and the truth will be somewhere in the middle.
I think they just mean they weren’t very good at it
I sing Sweet Child O Mine and Sweet Caroline with the other songs melodies. Confuses people nicely.
Any of the 6 million versions of Hallelujah except the original Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley.
I swear wannabe pop singers see it as some sort of rite of passage but they universally murder it either by trying to replicate on of those two and coming up painfully short or embellishing it with flourishes and superfluous variations.
It doesn’t make you look deep and thoughtful it just highlights what an average singer you are.
Bees are almost all female. The males’ job is to fertilise the queen’s eggs, have their penis explode and then die.
Almost as hard as the planet is getting fucked by the computers to make this absolute shite.
You are right. The pilot was drunk and had cocaine in their blood and also wasn’t qualified to fly the plane which was itself dangerously overloaded.
Catalogue of errors that caused the deaths of all 8 passengers.
I’m all in for crazy hockey. Boosters, bumpers, multipuck, moving goals, tilting ice, pucks made of different materials, sticks made of different materials, boxing gloves appear at centre ice giving the player who grabs them 30 second free pass for roughing.
Let them fight to the death.
MMMMMMMULTIBALLLLLLL
Any sport, doesn’t really matter. Periodically during the game more balls start getting added into the playing field to spice things up, a la pinball tables.
Tennis, Football, Volleyball, Baseball, Basketball etc etc
2 nights in a hotel in Sydney. Arrived at about 10pm straight from the airport. Unmanned entry to had to call someone from reception to come and give me the key despite arranging all this in advance.
Got in the room and the AC was broken so as a Brit arriving in Australia for the first time it was unbearably hot and the room stank of damp.
About the worst way to start jetlag recovery and I got out after the first night despite paying in advance.
Edit, oh and the fire alarm went off at 3AM!
Board Games!
