#508 - Homely News |
Weekly NewsletterHomely News#508 - Thursday 18th March, 2021groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Every Thursday, Studying Parsing Hello WorldDoesn't feel like a whole week's gone past, but it's already time to compile another pile of waffle that barely anyone reads. To be fair, most of this week's newsletter was written on a Wednesday afternoon. I turned the telly on to split my day in the usual way, with an episode of Tipping Point, forgetting that the blooming' horse racing has screwed up ITV's regular scheduled programming. As a result, I had roughly half an hour to spare, and figured I could waffle reasonably well in that time. Meanwhile, again due to the horses, The Chase has fallen back on old repeats instead of the newer episodes. They're really obviously repeats, and are drastically different given the newer episode's Covid-Based chasm, and the almost imperceptible perspex screen between each of the players. Every day this week on Twitter, I've posted a silly tweet mocking the apparent ignorance of Covid rules, and every day without fail, someone's had a go at me for being so stupid for not realising it's a repeat. LOL!! I think I'll probably have to double down for Double Points Friday.
