    Anyone fancy watching a Live stream of a brand new SpaceX rocket engine being tested? Should be taking off, hovering and landing again, very shortly:

    EDIT: now within 35 minutes apparently. Take off 22.00 UTC [11pm]

    OK, nobody is going to be as nerdy as me here, but you'll watch a video that just came out of the completed test just 19 minutes ago. Scroll to 31 minutes dead into the video. Then you miss all the preamble:

    Fecking brilliant. That’s a man to have a beer or several with. What an amazing career following that situation.

    I have been wanting to go to Belfast for a weekend jaunt and am determined to do it. May be an idea to do it before the 31st October though. Of course it will involve a trip about 40 minutes North if there too, with tumbler and water jug in hand!

    In college I was so broke I couldn’t afford the electricity bill.


    Those were the darkest days of my life.

    That made me laugh so loud, I actually cried. I told the wife the joke and she just stared at me...

    I've started investing in stocks...


    Mainly beef, chicken and vegetables.


    One day I hope to be a bouillonaire.

    My wife is kicking me out of the house because of my obsession with acting like a TV news anchor.


    More on that after the break...

    Belfast is a really lovely city with friendly, helpful people. I was there about 20 years ago for work. As I had a day spare, the people I was working with took me around for a "jaunt". Bloody hell, there were some areas where I genuinely got scared, purely because of the atmosphere. Admittedly, it was only a couple of years after the Troubles "ended" but I still remember those feelings with a shiver. God knows what it was like living through everything :(
