Now did I ever tell you why I started this account, some 7 or so years ago?

Well it's not for the reasons you might think... Image
In 2013 the company I worked for decided all us old folk needed to 'get with it' and learn about social media.

We were sent on a course in London's 'Silicone Roundabout*' where various webheads and marketeers told us what was what.

(*don't ask!) Image
There were a lot of fixed ideas about what social media was and wasn't, what worked and what didn't. It was part technobabble and part sales talk.

As a veteran of the '90s web I started to smell a bit of 'new paradigm' BS in the air. Image

Well that's annoying. Twitter for Android has stopped loading any images!
- it's not my settings
- it's not my phone
- it's not my data provider (so they say!)

Can you do me a favour? Hit 'like' if you can see a pic below of a man fighting an octopus. Reply if you can't. Image
Hmm... looks like I can transmit but I can't receive images on the app. And I can't load the desktop version of Twitter on the laptop. Keeps saying 'something has gone wrong'

Any ideas folks? Image
OK, a few folk in the south of the UK are reporting the same problem. I'm going to assume technology is ganging up on me and go to bed.

Let's see if this 21st Century Ceefax thingy works tomorrow... Image

Over the years a number of people have asked me if I have a favourite pulp film. Well I do. It's this one.

This is the story of Alphaville...
Alphaville: une étrange aventure de Lemmy Caution (1965) was Jean-Luc Godard’s ninth feature film. A heady mix of spy noir, science fiction and the Nouvelle Vague at its heart is a poetic conflict between a hard-boiled Lemmy Caution and a supercomputer’s brave new world.
British writer Peter Cheyney had created the fictitious American investigator Lemmy Caution in 1936. As well as appearing in 10 novels Caution featured in over a dozen post-war French films, mostly played by singer Eddie Constantine whom Godard was keen to work with.

Just time for my occasional series "ladies who love accordions!"

Squeezy does it...
"They said it couldn't be done!"

I'm sorry, I'll read that again...

"They said it shouldn't be done!"
Actually that's very good for your posture...
