You are a woman you are supposed to take a purse with you to match expectations. Welcome to the rules of our stupid society... #sadface

@ubo wie so vieles... aber mit zunehmendem Alter schwindet meine Hoffnung. #sadface

New drukknopgarnituur. Miserable as the last one.

Day Zero of #tprcto23 ..
Thank goodness for volunteers!
Also, WTF Air France. Delaying my keynote speaker? #SadFace

@matthewwinters94 #ukpolitics I have a sneaky suspicion that Starmer would rather face a minority Tory govt that he can bring down when he sees the opportunity than a pro-PR Lab/LDem govt that would mean Labour would never have a majority again. #sadface

@aburka yeah, i think i'm gonna have to do same. #SadFace

The almost-teen is going to Cedar Point today, and I am not. #sadface #jealous

I have reluctantly decided to sever my ties with the profession. Despite an association lasting almost 40 years I will not be making the recently introduced application to remain on the Roll just to be able to call myself a solicitor without a practising certificate. #SadFace 😢

I'm sure there are a lot more, and I know their reasons why, but Joni Mitchell & Misty In Roots' absence from Spotify gives me #sadface.

Feinstein has done good things, and some bad, in the Senate for a few decades. This week she became the new poster child for "Geezers in Denial". That arrogance is seriously going to cost the country in the long run. Remember RBG who didn't step down when she could have? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/18/us/politics/feinstein-illness-shingles-senate.html #sadface

Has anyone got access to Slack “Canvas” yet? Half-a-dozen slack workspaces I’m in, and none have it. #sadface

When you realize the character in the game you have been loving is going to die... Damn immersing stories. #gamer #protagonistdies #why #sadface #nospoilers

@LeilahLilienruh I was once in a very tense and very (potentially) violent situation at the #HardRockClub in #Mannheim where a bunch of hockey fans from #Karlsruhe came to town and decided to fight the punks. We didn't give a shit about hockey but they did. Some guys busted in to HR and got kicked out and the kids from the bar decided to protect the next punk bar. I asked this punk girl why they were going and she said something like " blu du kuh, blu du fotze"
I think I was the cow #SadFace

#Nightwish taking an indefinite break, and won't tour their upcoming new album. Hopefully, they just need to recharge their batteries, and will return in a couple years refreshed and ready to rock.

Tracking myself #GettingOld; #WeirdAlYankowic album, #In3D (1984), Callin' In Sick - lyrics;

"When I'm sick of takin' abuse
I just make up some lame excuse
Freedom's just seven digits away"

Nope, not anymore #SadFace , it's ten digits almost everywhere and we'll never get that back. I am officially old.

I was so hoping for some bargain firesales. They're never going to make money off then after today, but people might have supported future sequels.

I heard rumours that #Nintendo nixed the request of one publisher to make all their games free

#3DS #eShop

@divlingassoc At least I tried #sadface. Have fun! Looks fantastic!!

Today I gave away my guitar.

Spotted across the hall at the now defunct Manchester Computer Fair, resting incongruously amidst the motherboards and hard drives, I recognised the unexpected chance to fulfil a lifelong dream. Learn to play.

My daughter, living with us at the time and for many years a Grade 8 player, offered to teach me. As usual I almost left it too late to take up her kind offer. Procrastination is, after all, my middle name. Within 2-3 months I'd progressed to the point where I could play a 2-minute "Spanish" piece, from memory, with fewer than a handful of bum notes. I was quite pleased with myself, if I'm honest. Until reality hit. I'm one of those people who doesn't want to do something unless I can be good at it. Could I be good at this? They say it takes 20,000 hours to become proficient with that kind of motor skill. I'd been giving it 15 minutes a day. The maths didn't stack up.

So for the last five years the guitar (a lovely Encore semi-acoustic -- a basic model, but with a wonderful rich tone) has sat in the top room, unloved and gathering dust, waiting for the touch of a more eager learner. And now we're downsizing, and won't even have room for it to gather another layer of dust.

I offered it to the neighbours. We have a WhatsApp group; it's a friendly neighbourhood. One of their daughters recently said she'd like to learn guitar. Serendipity strikes. And so, it's gone. A bottle of red wine stands in its place, the universal token of appreciation. Another item ticked off the long list of divestments, but this one tugged at my heart more than most.
