A Brit relocated to North America. I started work in flight simulation visuals and 3D/VR at age 18 on mainframe IGs & SGIs... 35 years later, I'm still making synthetic environments for flightcrew training! I am a dinosaur! Rawr!

Geez! That was a long pause before Trudeau answered the question: "Are we at war with America?"

PM Trudeau just addressed Trump directly in his speech and called him dumb. Go Canada!

After the Trump/Vance/Zelensky sh!t show, I'm fully expecting Trump to push through with tariffs on Canada this week in an attempt to save face. Doesn't matter about fentanyl and border security. It was never about that.

Watched the Zelensky/Trump/Vance fight and was absolutely appalled. The orange fella really needs some natural causes to kick in right about now.... and if the paramedics could accidentally reverse over his number 2 on the way out, that might not be a disaster either...

There's nothing like having your fridge-freezer fail to make your wife act like her hair is on fire. True story!!

Happy cats

My wife, trying to end it all driving in the worst snowstorm of the yr: I was trying to be extra careful so I turned on traction control. Me: You turned it on?? But it's on by default. You were supposed to turn on 4x4! Her: No, I pressed the button & the light came on! Me: That's a warning light!!!

There's nothing like going to turn off your stuff in the basement before heading up to bed and finding your cat took a protest dump behind your PC because you left her on her own for a working day while you had to do a mandatory schlep into the office.

And so, under cover of the Superbowl, the Cheeto-in-Chief launches his second strike on his allies. Begun the Trade Wars have...

Haha. Very funny, Mr Trump. You are such the hysterical joker. You really had us thinking we were going to have a trade war. Going to do the same hilarious jape next month, are we? F😡cking tw😡t. #tradewar

Can someone check my thinking, plz: Trumps original gripe with 🇨🇦 was defence under spend. But this doesn't allow emergency EO tariff authorisation, so he used the migrant/fentanyl excuse to gain that power to tariff 🇨🇦, 🇲🇽 & 🇨🇳, even if 🇨🇦 is only responsible for 1%. So can he actually tariff the 🇪🇺???

Fast asleep... Paws dream-twitching. #cat

Tommy's heading was nodding until he just couldn't keep awake any longer

My daughter's generally antisocial cat has decided that we shall be napping by adopting loaf position on my lap. She is like Thor's hammer and can only be picked up or moved by the worthy!

My fireplace-lovin' doofus.

Wish I could be as content as my furry fella. 🙂

My cat is now pranking me! Stepped on the scales to weigh myself and the counterbalance arm shot up, showing I was pounds heavier. Was wondering what happened when I looked down and saw Tommy was standing on the scales with me, very pleased with himself. 🤣😺

Anyone else have a crazy cat that tries to bedazzle their poops by chewing on Christmas decorations? I can't be the only one with a puss that tries to glitter-spangle their cat-nuggets!

I played Half-Life 2 back when it first released, staying up until early morning, it was so epic. Installed the new updated version the other day and thought I'd see if it's really as good as I remembered and... Yes. Yes it is it shows its age (don't we all!) but it's still great!!!

14 yrs ago today I woke in the ICU from having my chest opened to insert a steel valve in my heart. That valve has been ticking with every beat since. Its old tech today, but has kept me alive 9 yrs longer than the surgeons original estimate. So, happy birthday, chunk of metal! Keep on ticking!

Well, that's something I never knew! Christina Applegate and I share the same birthday (she's a year younger - in my case I'd say it's not the age, it's the miles, I'm built for comfort not speed and I handle corners like a bouncy castle!) Happy birthday to her, me and my old colleague, Steve! 🥳

54 today! Always slightly amazed, befuddled and grateful to still be here and clocking up another year. Congrats to anyone else aging up another year today - go you!!! 🥳

Good grief! I'm 54! You'd think that by now I'd have learned not to wear anything even slightly white when eating an Italian meatball marinara sub!!! 🤨😵‍💫
