"Nige? Oh, he's that weird kid who likes music more than sport or super heroes"

I'm a composer and recording artist and... mostly an alright kinda geeza 😊 Primary 'playing' instrument is guitar (since a previous century) but I play enough keys, drums and bass to write for them.

Links to my 'stuff of wonder' in the 'About' tab. Please feel free to rummage with gusto. I don't like genres so will leave that right there.

@nprofile1q... yes, I hear lots of good reports about the OS and it seems a solid system.

The aggressive toots though seem really uncalled for and are often quite insulting and belittling. The tone is nearly always that the other OSs are deceiving their users and are 'pretenders'. It's enough to put me right off I'm afraid.

Is it only me that seems to see a well known alternative Android phone OS (named after a carbon allotrope) continually tooting extremely derogatory, accusative and vitriolic commentary on any alternative phone OS 'other' than their own?

Can "There be only one" perhaps?

The toots REALLY put me off ever trying their OS tbh.

@nprofile1q... a couple of thugs started up a 'fly the flag' campaign which meant going around areas and (illegally) attaching flags to streetlamp posts. In large qtys. The good old 'intimidation disguised as patriotism' trope. Both the union flag/jack and the St George cross. The union flag actually has an asymmetrical 'wrong way up' possibility which caught many of the bonehead perps out! One of the originators has since been arrested for murder after attacking someone in a rage. Not surprised.

A fine example of my 'disconnect' from the sporting world arose today.

I saw a white van, replete with white van geezers, that had one of those little 'Inggerrlaand' flags on a stick poking out of a side window. The red cross on a white background.

It was only this evening that I realised it was probably connected to the footing ball world cup, rather than the far right xenophobe movement.

Feeling oddly proud of myself 😂

@nprofile1q... ... yes, I am often similarly baffled (there again that applies far more widely on a regular basis 😂)

Here you also often hear, "But don't you get cravings when you smell bacon frying!?" If I bother to reply beyond rolling my eyes it's only to say, "Yes, if feeling nausea is a 'craving to be sick', I suppose I do!"
