    I am unironically quite enjoying some old Mel C (yep the one from the Spice Girls) tracks.

    Actually some are from like 2020… I guess shes still floating around.

      You can follow me in real time (which would be kinda weird tbh) --> https://www.last.fm/user/theredkrawler

      I’ve tried to keep scrobbling over the years whenever I change media player / streaming service. Few big gaps where add-ons or services stopped working but generally a good idea of what goes in my ears.

      Android app finally appears to work reliably too now so that’ll be the commutes covered. Considering some days I spend 4+ hours driving around between jobs (or in some cases 13+… zzz) that was a lot of earworms left out.

        Hmmmm, sounds like you’re still doing delivery work. It’s obviously been good to you over the years. Very happy for you. These years are flying by also but there’s nothing we can change there.

          I’ve never done delivery work, might be someone else you’re thinking of.

          I fix stuff, and sometimes that stuff is a long way apart. Longest one day trip I’ve done is Roma and back. Longest trip in general was probably a retrofit run for units which were installed at sites in a radius from Glenn Innes to Cooktown which ended up being a little over 5000k of driving. Technically been overseas for breakdowns too (New Caledonia) but that was legitimately closer to home than Cooktown lol. Queensland is a big boy.

            Ok sorry mate. But you’re from Reddit right, TheRedKrawler ? And damn you do do some ks then. Regards, Old BOLAX.

              Yeah, that’s me. I’ve used that nickname since Usenet days in the 90s. I got it from an old school “hacking” program called Game Wizard (an early TSR that allowed you to edit memory, mostly for infinite money / lives type cheats in games but also handy for other things that resulted in me getting kicked out of a private school) which was coded by The Crawler and Red Ninja. By their naming powers combined…!

              I still open Reddit every so often, but there’s not much incentive to contribute knowing it’s just going towards making some dickhead money.

              You still on board?

                I got banned by the mods after they removed my post two ANZAC days ago. I simply asked “What are you doing for ANZAC day ?”.

                I obviously upset them by asking them to explain why a post about “where can I get a sandwich” can stay up but my question gets taken down.

                My questioning and also my suggestion that some of them need to recuse themselves resulted in a ban due to “zero tolerance these days”. Their words.

                I posted that question to the Australian sub and it received a decent amount of interaction, some of it not positive.

                So this ANZAC day I made up a new account and asked “In Brisbane, what are you doing for ANZAC day ?” This of course was removed, my questioning then led to a one month ban and I haven’t been back.

                Last week to add insult to injury I got a text message on my phone from NoSoulGinger. ( Been a mod for a fair while ) She sent me a screenshot with some unknown to me username abusing a mod. Calling them a “worthless human being” and “see you at the next Meetup, stay safe”. She told me that I…yes me, don’t have to be a “dick” to them. I calmly explained that I don’t use the sub anymore and so no that wasn’t me.

                The next day I inquired where my apology was. This caused massive annoyance from her resulting in me blocking her on my phone.

                Lol so no, I’m not frequenting that place. The mods are obviously on their high horses and have let the place turn to crap a few of us believe. A different Brisbane sub started up a fair few months ago, I’m unsure how it’s going. One of the Bris mods showed up using his alt account enquiring why there was so much negativity towards the Bris sub and/or mods. I politely explained that if they didn’t ban lots of people for hardly anything that the mods might be a little more popular.

                Anyway it’s all quite sad and I don’t lose any sleep over it. Cheers.
