Quote from: Alex on February 21, 2026, 11:27:56 PMA couple of crap nights at work. Nothing specific wrong, just lots of stupid people doing stupid crap to deal with. Feeling short-tempered with it all, but managing to keep a pleasant face on and deal with people appropriately.

Still, I get to watch lots of bad movies at work, so it's not all bad. Three hours to go. The Avatar gig was a bust. The friend I was going with messaged me while I was halfway to Glasgow to let me know he couldn't make it. The second time he's done that to me when he's not had the money, and I've bought him a ticket, or given him one I've had spare. If he'd given me more notice, I could have given his ticket to someone else. Anyway, I felt too p**sed off to go to it by myself, figuring I'd end up starting a fight when I was in that much of a foul mood, so I had a couple of beers then spent the night in my hotel room before heading back home the next day. Walking around Glasgow felt odd too. I've never lived anywhere long enough to consider it home, but Glasgow is where I was born. If I have a hometown, then I guess that is it. Walking around it, though this time I just felt out of place and uncomfortable. Several years ago, I determined that once my mum dies, I'd never willingly return to the town I grew up in, as I'd have no reason to go back. Maybe I should just extend that to the whole West Coast area where I grew up.



I was wondering what it would be like for me to go back to Gweru, Zimbabwe where I grew up. I think that Mugabe and his comrades have largely destroyed the country so.... 😔

Tonight's Stinker
The Stranger and the Gunfighter(1974)
https://youtu.be/qrfK_6dfT2U?si=eJmNE26N1rJuoKE9

Lee Van Cleef is a safecracker in the old west, who accidentally kills a rich Chinese investor who leaves tattoos on the rear-ends of prostitutes.... Inside the safe, Van Cleef finds nothing but the pictures of four prostitutes, and promptly gets arrested....
Cut to China, Lo Lieh is a Kung Fu master who's about as convincing a the Power Rangers at a wrestling match... He's arrested & told his uncle is dead, & the money he was given by the government has disappeared...He's given a year to find the money or his family dies....
Lieh arrives in America just in time to talk to Van Cleef, & rescues him from the gallows....,
It's obvious early on that the tattooed derrieres are part of a puzzle, so it's a quest to find the four posteriors...
However, a psychotic priest catches on, & hires a fighter of his own......

Interesting mashup of the two genres, particularly towards the end, as most of the first hour is about butt jokes & culture clashes...
Some of the aforementioned jokes are well timed & got a giggle or two outa me, albeit, some of the racial tropes are a bit dated.....

Sometimes I am tempted to write a story about the people I deal with on a nightly basis.

Last night we had a report of a guy charging his car battery in his room. It'd set off the fire alarms, and the fire brigade told us that if he kept doing that, he'd be dead by dawn. Anyway, I directed them towards the police and hopefully they did something. Even if we wanted to, and had the authority to do something we simply don't have the manpower to deal with any but the most serious of emergencies and even then its only until someone else more appropriate for dealing with it can be summoned.

Come talk to us when its a problem like an intruder.

Anyway, the working title is Night of the Living f**ktards. I mean its not quite up to Florida man standards, but it is one of the steady stream of problems that come in through the door that have absolutely nothing to do with our job description but somehow come our way regardless.
