I left school 35 years ago today!

I just derived far too much joy from finally working out how to turn off the needless bleeps on my induction hob. #Adulting #GrownUp #OldGit

The immutable law of the #MusicBiz is; ‘Record Companies make all of the money’. This has been the status quo since Edison. Recording Atists, Bands, SongWriters, Producers, Engineers, etc have all gotten the shaft since Day1. This #OldGit should just be happy that he can still play his #GeezerRock and stop complaining.

Wondering if I have turned into a curmudgeon in my later years, or if I've always been this way.

I've just started learning the piano part for a Deacon Blue song. It wasn't my choice of song to add to my band's set list, but I don't mind, as their Raintown album makes me nostalgic for my BFF introducing me to it, and us then going of to separate universities.

I'm slightly concerned that it's a bit of a soft option compared to the rest of the playlist, but fuck it, we'll give it a go, and if it doesn't work, we'll bin it.

Fuck yes. 4 hours training and 90 minutes grading today. Passed two belts. #taekwondo #martialarts #oldgit

@Yoshi another advantage to being an #oldgit

Never appreciated the advantages age brings when I was younger

It's been raining all day, so I've been messing about with remote control portraiture. Mostly unsuccessfully.

Once again I find that I'm at the cutting edge of the latest trends....

I still have no idea what a substack is. Or an NFT. Or Discord, come to that.
