I Suppose There Are Some Advantages To Being Completely Useless.

Yesterday (21/9) my father and I got to stream; "Operation Mincemeat" (2022) on Amazon Prime, for free.

That's after his attempts to stream football on Sky Sports via NowTV didn't go so well. Despite it now costing £15 per day. A fair bit of inflation on the previous £8 per day.

Obviously I was mostly asleep or attempting to degrease the cooker top. However I gather that every 10 minutes or so there was an; "Error 401: HEARTBEAT Token unavailable."

I've been feeling the urge to get that off my chest ever since.

As I'm sure it's a matter of public record these days. That rather impressive collection of ever so slightly bloodstained, mostly Italian, cap badges I inherited.

I might even go so far as to recommend the movie. Although, while factually accurate. It almost bordered on a personal insult. Seeing all those Americans leading the line.

As for the saga of the kitchen TV.

It turns out that a Goodmans Digi Box is too obscure for the library of; "The One Remote To Rule Them All."

However the problem is the battery. As it would be.

Specifically that tiny, little bit of plastic which holds the AAA batteries to their points has snapped.

So one option is rebuilding the remote on a 120x120mm lump of wood. With extra giant buttons. As that would be really funny.

However a more practical option would probably be just gluing the bit of plastic back.

The type of Polystyrene Cement you use on those Airfix kits would be really useful right about now.

Certainly easier than remodelling the entire kitchen to make space for a new TV.
