      I'd just like to mention that getting excited about buying a new ladder is incontrovertible proof that you are getting old.

      It is a really a cool ladder, though…

              Really? Am I misremembering how high your house is, because this seems way too short for that.

                Some of the house is below ground level.  He can get to within about 3 feet of the parapet with this ladder,  We'll use a cherry picker for the last few feet, he was not keen being that high up above the light-well and having to lean backwards to pait the underneath of the parapet.

                  I like the way you wrung a joke out of that. 😶

                  you must belong to the church of ladders say paints.

                  Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                  Well, I have others.

                        Gibson has talked warmly before about Iron Heart in the press, and occult denim brands and Japanese heavy jeans feature heavily in «Zero History». He doesn’t mention IH there but he does share an approach to buying pants that I think many of will recognise:

                            I have a cyst on my balls. Depending on what the doctor tells me tomorrow (just came back from a radiology test), it might need to be removed. It's a pain in the balls, but the operation is short, and I get to stay at home a couple of weeks to recover… Which is fantastic as I'm sick and tired of my job (mainly the conditions we have to work in), and I fucking HATE summer so anything that may make it pass any faster...

                            Oh: and I mainly won't complain cause why the fuck would you... When a mate has been diagnosed with having a tumor in his fucking BRAINSTEM that's just not a fucking option...

                            The only thing I hope is that I don't miss out on a second lockdown...  😢
