Hendrick didn't know what was going on. Danish lad should have just kicked the ball out. Knob for not hitting the target, yes.

Summer of Astral Weeks is a fantastic doc, such a good listen.

Available on the RTE Radio One app in the podcasts section.

One take away from it that has blown my mind. They were kids. I've never thought about that before but holy fuck, such brilliance from such youth.

Accomplished professional musicians recorded it, as per Warner's rules but that college and high school band came up with that magic.

Richie Buckley is playing next Saturday in Arthurs. I've only witnessed him a few times, and every time was the best gig I've ever been to. http://www.arthurspub.ie/2018/10/20/

Just on a book theme, as I'm the only person here tonight. Reading the genius The Martian at the moment.

Haven't seen the movie, but how the fuck was it turned into a movie?!

What do you mean? Fairly simple to turn into a movie or do you thinking would be boring? I REALLY recommend the audio book

finished the selfish gene this evening, amazing book, hard to digest all at once.

I got my wife "sisters in law" for part of anniversary gift last week. It deals with Sandra day o Connor and Ruth Vader Ginsberg and the Supreme Court. We have both flown through it since then. Well worth a read.

Also had a very touristy day in Stockholm today, highlight being the Abba museum, they weren't joking with their tagline of "walk in, leave dancing"

How's the sax going for you?

They also rebranded the school from 'global' to 'cosmopolitan'. A few of us noted that cosmopolitan is either (1) the name of a cocktail, or (2) the name of a fashion magazine. They said the French think it's a cool name and brand plays well in Asia. So there we go, we're living in a weird world of international English rather than actual English.

They must be reading Rosling if they're appealing to the Asians.

Ahead of the game bro.

Any chance you'll come along?

Still haven't gotten into a proper routine with the sax. Only started using the 'concept' mouthpiece I bought last year, last week. It's all good though, just a little slower than imagined.

Might just do that. I'll pm you in a day or two if I can make it.

Re the sax, that's cool, take it slow and enjoy learning. Great that you've started. Procrastination is strong with learning an instrument, always has been with me. Mad though, once you get off your arse and play a bit it's the best thing in the world. Then the next day it's procrastination again.

[Lazare]

Heh. Did you get through that on the break? Find it decent?

75% through it. Great read. A bit repetitive at times I would say, but his peppering of cool anecdotes allays that somewhat.

[Lazare]

Anyone follow Graham Linehan on twitter? He's been on some mad thing about transpeople for a few months now. The thing is I can never work out what side of what debate he is on?

Yeah, I'm totally confused by that whole thing. Tried to figure it out once with a bit of googling. All I could think of was that Grandpa Simpson in and out gif.

The slightly annoying part is that I'm not trying to learn. I used to teach saxophone back in the 1980's. I'm only trying to get back to being as good as I was 30 years ago

Nice to see the stockmarkets having their traditional October wobbles.

Bought an S&P 500 Inverse Tracker ETF at the start of Sept and it's only in profit from this week Probably jumped too soon in terms of tying the cash up, who knows when the real decline might come, 2019, 2020, whenever.

I sincerely hope it's just a wobble and while I don't want you to lose money I'd like to see a significant rebound before you go green in the long term

[Strewelpeter]

And presumably just a really bad raping strategy, given how identifiable you would be.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/oct/11/transgender-prisoner-who-sexually-assaulted-inmates-jailed-for-life

Not such a terrible strategy if all you have to do is put on a dress, claim you are transitioning to get yourself sent to a women's prison

Its very murky water to be wading into but the feminist line seems fairly well drawn at 'You can't be a lesbian with a penis'

Watched Sense8 last week (series made by the wachowskis, who Larry is now lana). I thought season 1 was very decent, and funnily enough, One of the main characters is transgender and a lesbian, and tbh it made complete sense to me. She's also played by a transgender actress so lgbtq galore

Some might consider themselves lesbian, others straight, others neither. I don't think sexuality should be a factor in the "which prison discussion".
I think transgender criminals are in limbo a bit here. There should be no penises locked up in women's prison. Post op transsexual, there's a case to be made. But genetic male with a penis. Nope.

At the same time, I don't think they should be in with the ladseither (genuine cases).

I wonder how the Thai's do it.

Season 1 is good. The concept was interesting. But they lost the run of it by the end of season 2 end. Show was cancelled. And the brought back to appease fans.

SPOILER

the finale was filmed after it was cancelled and is a total all the "rules"
Are thrown out the window. I found it was all a bit self-fellatio material by the end. LGBTQ for the sake of LGBTQ withoutbthe contevt from S1.

That's what I heard also re season 2 but season 1 on its own is good TV.
I'm bed ridden for 6 weeks after spending a week in hospital as i Finally had my op to fix my leg, so happy to watch a bit of everything.

Feel free to send any recommendations my way. Still have 4 weeks to go

McGinley has been awful for a while now. I wonder if he's not well, because he has been totally wooden and ill at ease the last couple of times I've seen him.

Aaron Monaghan is probably my favourite Irish theatre actor and his Richard III is indeed extraordinary. Highly recommended.

Speaking of recommendations, Eagle Eye mentioned in the TV show section Mr. Inbetween. I loved it, just 6 episodes of 30 mins each.

'Blindspotting' and 'Michael Inside' are both good watches that dropped with cousins recently.

That's a fair point, he actually messed up 2 lines last night, had a quick pause and carried on but it was noticeable. I more meant that it was cool to see him live cos being from Kerry, fellas like him were only ever seen on telly.

Saw Dave Chappelle and Jon Stewart last night. Really good show, both did their stand up sets and then when chappelle was finished Stewart came out and they took questions from the audience and just bounced off each other for another 45 minutes or so. Worth seeing if you have the chance.

I love me some chapelle but it's hard to know how the main crux of his work about the journey of black men or indeed the black experience in white America plays live in Dublin.
I'd actually be interested if he changed material to suit the audience as I know stewart wont. He's preaching to the converted anyway mostly.

In short, I'm insanely jealous I'm not going to this gig

Off the top of my head he talked about heroin epidemic in rust belt, punching a lesbian, being broke vs poor, experience of buying a gun and then a bit about kanye at the end comparing him to Jack Johnson
