    Cool. #DLW is talking about going out for dinner beforehand. I suppose we should hand the organising over to the grown-ups.

    The #Housemartins? More Marxist than anarchist, and punk in the (correct) sense of doing their own very basic thing, rather than just wearing leather jackets, safety pins, and a sneer, but definitely #christian. That was some time ago, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIWOhisqrP8

    God I love drinking. It infuses everything with a sense of meaning and purpose. I'm not just folding laundry; I'm making a difference. I'm being the change I want to see. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF8U_v6S120

    Tried, on 1st visit, to give the #dentist a list of potentially relevant medical conditions, followed by an addendum on the 2nd visit today, followed by… I am the god of trivial ailments. They flock to me, wanting just to be with me, and to ensure that I'm perennially slightly irritable.

    @tregeagle I did consider DIY home extraction, but I used the last of the string to keep my trousers up, and all our doorknobs, to save on construction costs, are painted on. Worse, the lavatory just plays a tape recording of flushing. It's hell in here, I tell you!

    Now the dentist's just called to confirm I can make my next appointment, to formulate a plan of attack based on the impressionist landscape of Stonehenge at dusk that a radiologist generated yesterday using a prop from 2001 A Space Odyssey and the remains of my teeth. Never get old.

    Summoned to see GP to discuss routine test results. Appointment set for over a week away, so I'm obviously not quite at death's door. Ironically, barring a few quibbles, I've not felt so good for over a decade. That should have made me suspicious.

    "I made friends with strangers and went from being a very shy and awkward kid to being an extroverted, awkward one. […] The streets had their own safety: Unlike at home, there I could be myself without fear of bodily harm. Walking became so regular and familiar that the way home became home." https://lithub.com/walking-while-black/ #flaneurism

    Fairly grim #dentist visit this afternoon, albeit with a relentlessly perky young practitioner with a Brummy accent. She should be cheerful, I suppose, considering she'll be getting all my wages for the next few months.

    @tregeagle The main pub on the corner of Clarence & Horton was okay last time I was in #PortMacquarie, also the one round the corner on the waterfront. There's a new Irish pub up on Gordon Street, opposite the cemetery (which is a good place for an Irish pub) - should do a decent selection of proper beer.

    If all you had to go on was the Decca audition tapes, you would have assumed George was the #Beatles front man. He had the confidence and charisma that L&M singularly lacked on that occasion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El6Rnvj_f3w #Beatles

    Superb bass playing from McCartney who, insufferable prat that he was and is, nonetheless supported George's songwriting more than John ever did. #beatles

    Plan B for the Eurozone looks rather like the pre-Euro Plan A. Go with what works rather than what demonstrably doesn't, I suppose. http://neweconomicperspectives.org/2017/09/italys-great-experiment.html #MMT

    Fixed a responsive layout issue on #DLW's #work website. A #CSS fix is hardly hacking, but it feels a lot like it after five years out of the trade.

    After a sleepless night of agony, finally made an appointment. The receptionist was at pains to explain that I could choose a male dentist or a female dentist. How is this relevant? I want to know who has the steadier hands! Who says "whoops!" least often?

    You can napalm, carpet-bomb, torture, or assassinate by drone, but the one thing #US elites won't tolerate is when one of their two factions won't play fair in the taking-turns ritual. As true for #Trump as for #Nixon. http://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/8278

    1. Rick Gates' guilty plea 'could be end of Trump', says Watergate lawyer
      from The Independent
      The decision by former Trump campaign official Rick Gates to plead guilty to federal charges, could mark the end of Donald Trump’s presidency, a veteran lawyer involved in the Watergate scandal has claimed. John Dean, 79, who served as counsel to President Richard Nixon from July 1970 until April 1973 and who pleaded guilty to a single charge in exchange for acting as a key witness for Watergate prosecutors, said the decision by Mr Gates could be crucial.

    "Dear Sirs, After a string of job applicants with great enthusiasm and strongly-expressed convictions, but a very poor grasp of the fundamentals of fresh produce handling, we believe we have identified the source of the confusion. Now we are sure you are a reasonable bunch of lads, and we _did_ have the name first…"
