For the really juicy intimate bits you'll probably need to add me as a friend and get to know me. But for the external veneer you don't need to add me. However, if you would like me to add you, please leave a comment and I'll consider additions. Not got an LJ Account? Sign up! It's easy!

You wont find me on Facebook, Instagram or Spotify now because they are unsafe, insecure, lack any type of privacy and are instrument in the destruction of democratic society.
The committee would like to express their concerns about the coming year and how the previous year has performed, much to their disappointment, and would like to hear what you are going do about the improved volume of attention, hot boxes and tasty snacks experienced over the past three weeks that will be reduced extensively come return to work for all house humans on Thursday.
Livejournal have done this automated meme thing where it pulls out five random pictures from the year and puts them into a post. As I did a bit of posting this year, here are five pictures.
It has been far too hot in the UK for the likes of me and my fair skin. Not that it really bothers me these days.
With the heat and humidity comes disease and destruction. Details of the disease aspect are below, but destruction — well, electronics in constant use do not do well in hot weather. Moreover, electronics in constant use sealed into metal boxes in hot weather do worse. So its not hard to imagine how hot electronics in constant use in hot metal boxes within hot metal lined concrete or brick built boxes on top of hot mountains and tall hot buildings where hot rises to make things hotter might cope in hot weather.
Not very well.
Of course theres more than just hot electronics in boxes in constant use that your average numbers station need to bare in minds. There are maintenance restrictions — especially when there are important mindcontrol activities such as sporting events or political disenfranchisement projects such as elections taking place. Remember, the numbers must continue to be broadcast at all times. Even during hot weather.
An enjoyable bank holiday weekend was had afloat on the English Channel. Departing the country via seaport seems to always be less stressful than via airport and that was the experience I had in Southampton — walk through body scanner, show passport, board ship — none of the bollocks with facescanning autogates.
The ship was expansive. Lots of bling. Shiney walls and floors. Lots of twinkling. At times it was like being in a floating Live Love Laugh decoration.The other passengers were a mixed bag — parties made up of stags and hens, big age birthdays, weddings and families on a jolly. It was noisy, expensive and crowded but seasoned travellers we are, Mrs Gv2.0 and I stuck to our usual routine of finding somewhere quiet (our cabin), reading and falling asleep shortly after dinner while drinking tea (me) or water (Mrs G).

Cherbourg was damp but it was fun to explore an empty French seaport on a Sunday when everything was closed. I always forget how close foreign countries are to the UK. I like how everything is slightly different but the same. Takes me awhile to get used to the crossing roads and doing the Green Cross Code in reverse and since the "incident" I always end up worrying about breaking some weird foreign law like not being allowed to eat lettuce on a Tuesday or something.
