  • And if you don’t have Premium (or just love audiobooks I’m general, wishlist the item on chirpbooks.com and when it goes on a 30-day sale you’ll get notified, where you can then buy it for like 90% off. I love this service and it has changed the way I consume audiobooks. Like audible without the membership.

    it’s currently US$18.99 down from $20 if you have no Spotify and are unable to wait it out.










  • Used to use gnucash on Linux desktop for a goooood long while. I wanted nicer reports so I shopped around with homebank (one developer so slow development but very nice project!) and tried money dance (didn’t like it, though I tried really hard). Eventually tried my own spreadsheets and apsire budget but finally settled on YNAB because I need a hands-off approach as I’m so busy.

    I reconcile accounts every few days and auto-sync my banks with plaid (YMMV on how much you’re into that) and it works for me. I’m happy paying the subscription but if it ever goes to US$150/yr I’m probably going to quit it.

    The prompt in this post reminds me of Jesse from The Fast Show (Mark Williams)

    “This week, I have mostly been…”

    So for the rest of this week i will mostly be bingeing every episode of the fast show on BBC iPlayer since I’m told they’re not expiring for another two more years.

    And then after the final Fast Show I’ll probably watch the anniversary special. Whitehouse’s Rowley Birkin QC is phenomenal in the sketch where he’s recounting a story of his youth without presently being drunk. Incredibly delivered and written in a poignant way that only British comedy seems able to achieve; à la Blackadder Goes Over The Top/Goodbyeee.

    Edit: this is the one. https://youtu.be/QlZFfXAUr2I






  • That’s just it. Nothing unlawful seems to have occurred at this stage. Maybe he got a bit of Clarkson syndrome about his power and money, that remains to be seen.

    But if this all fizzles out and he’s able to professionally (and mentally) recover from it, I’d be happy to see/hear him orrsentythr present the news again (edit: keyboard went a bit psuedo-Welsh there ironically…) , when and if he is ready. It’d be like when Stephen Fry went missing and the nation was concerned for his wellbeing and return to public life.

    Now it’s just a sad story about personal lives being made public. At least the ‘young person’ is not in the public eye at the moment.
