July 1990 "Hello, are there any trains to Birmingham tonight?" "Last one's at 8:00 but you'll have 2 changes." "That's no problem, thanks so much!" "It's Sam's young man isn't it?" "Oh, was it you I spoke to last time? Sorry, I was a bit excited." "Sounds like it went well." 2/12

August 1990 "Hello Martin. It's Tom. Strange how I always I get you." "Just coincidence. The Birmingham train again?" "Uhm, yes please. You probably think I'm some sort of lovesick fool." "I remember that feeling. The breathless thrill of possibility. 3:30 Tom." "Cheers." 4/12

In memory of Dave's dad, who was a lovely man. Happy New Year folks 12/12 twitter.com/davedhjones/st…

Post details

When I lived in Merthyr, our phone number was similar to that of Merthyr railway station. My dad used to keep a copy of the timetable next to the phone as we had a number of people inadvertently ringing our number. As most used phone boxes, he didn't want them to lose money.

The thing that scares me about renewing domains for that long is that I am certain I will forgotten how to renew them in nine years time - at least anually keeps them fresh in mind!

The best thing I did for myself last year was no longer "hate-follow" or "check in" on people I found toxic. Trust me, it's hard!! You want to keep a tab on ur "enemies" 😅 it's a natural impulse. Especially when you're spite driven like me.

I'm not interested in 2021 accomplishments: Let me know how you need care. Tell me the ways your heart fell & still beats. Share how naps exhilarated you. Praise on how you said No & felt it in your marrow. Rejoice texts you left unread. How you slept in. Love, how did you rest?

It can’t be stressed enough that the primary thing that motivates leftism is their desire to act out their sexual fetishes in front of you. That’s what gender ideology is mostly about also. twitter.com/libsoftiktok/s…

Code is law. Now imagine you had the mafia drafting contracts. This is why we have professional experts reviewing terms, and a legal system to prevent illegal contracts from being enforced.

With this happening, the contract evolved into a honeypot where people could only make purchases but not any sort of sales. This meant that on a DEX chart, people would see the candles going up only and induce FOMO to buy more before it spiked up further. 10/
