Ugh, in the wars of history if you were retreating from the front lines there was at least some hope that unless you got really unlucky you might improve your chances of survival. Now with drones on overwatch it seems like you’re as likely to catch a shell when you’re trying to get away as when you’re right at the front.
Seems like a bad place to be an invader in someone’s sovereign territory doesn’t it?
This is the first track on Pills Thrills ’N’ Bellyaches. I listened to it for the first time in ages and was surprised at how good it sounds after all this time....
Fantastic band! If you’ve never seen it before, I’d really recommend watching 24 Hour Party People which is a biopic about Tony Wilson, the guy who signed the Happy Mondays.
Yes, early 40s from the UK so most people here learn in a manual car. I drive electric now so it only has forwards and backwards to choose from. Can’t say I miss the old manual much, it’s just so much more chill driving an auto.
If it’s any consolation it still isn’t much better in the UK. My gift from work to celebrate the birth of my child was two weeks off - one at full pay and one at statutory paternity pay level. Welcome to the world new human, here’s your pay deduction!
The Greatest Generation: a Star Trek podcast by a couple of guys who are just a little bit embarrassed to have a Star Trek podcast. Ben and Adam watch an episode of Star Trek and discuss it with lots of dumb jokes. Worth listening from the start!
If you’re in the UK/Europe I’d recommend Mitchell’s Wool Fat soap. It’s another one containing lanolin like Dove but I find it nicer on my skin. Might be able to get their stuff in the US too - you can definitely buy their shaving soap there.

Can you drive a manual transmission?
And where are you from? And how old? Not “do you” but just if you know how....

What's a good podcast you like?
My personal favourite is Beautiful/Anonymous. Tell me yours.
Replacement for Dove soap?
Because they’re (Unilever) still in Russia. One that has the moisturizing effect like Dove. Normal ones don’t work well with my skin....
