Boss - you need a new phone
No mine is fine.
Boss - you need NFC so you can take credit card payments
Meh, whatever.
Boss - it will be Yellow
Fuck right off. No way.
New phone is not Yellow.
It is Captain Pike uniform Gold.
Oh wow! now THAT is trendy and cool
If you get searched, will you face prison?
Didnât last long enough 
Itâs summer.
Which means the âSummer Festivalsâ have started on TV.
(Yes there is a PROPER festival up in Gdansk over 4 days with Dua Lipa, Imagine Dragons, The Killers among the headline acts)
This week TVP1 is at their base of Opole.
Itâs the 59th year.
They are rolling out old relics from previous years. Before each act they do a montage from each year (or 2)
Hilarious. So many generic rip offs.
So far have heard 4 Beatles, couple of BeeGees, an Englebert and even just now a Hermanâs Hermits.
Better than usual Discopolo shit.
And unlike Rod Stewart, most can still sing
Sounds painful
That part was educational.
Part 2 is âmodern bandsâ
These guys are âbonkersâ, crazy popular, Mrs P_F is away in sing-a-long mode.
Random fact our neighbouring village Zabierzow has a festival - it is tomorrow.
This lot debuted their biggest ever hit pre covid.
I was there 
I hate this stuff with a passion. Obviously, at the village bash, beer was 80p a pint. They were brilliant. I danced more than @Cobham-Saint at his works bash
Oh and in fact Gromee the local âDJ starâ who done gone viral plays on this

Easily done - I didnât dance 
Well this is remarkable for a small town theyâve brought in 4 acts I have actually heard on the radio.
Currently VIDEO
A decent pop/rock band
With guitars and things.
None of that Discopolo shit.
Oh and free entry obv.
Beer 2 going down
Aha.
Just found out who they sound similar to.
Foster the People (who I saw at Glasto)
Even one track sounded a bit Pumped up Kicks vibey
I may need a medivac.
The EDM/Death Metal Fusion has added soaring Bryan Adams esque guitar solos.
And.
And.
AndâŚ
Itâs not shit.
My foot is tapping.
Send help!
Being driven out for a Fatherâs Day dinner in a 90 year old Vauxhall. One of many ancient vehicles owned by young adult 1 (although he is neatly 40!).
I love the smell of burning tooth in the morning
Getting Dentist appointment for next day.
Graunchy grundy thing went on for ages 
Being in Poland when you need emergency dental work.
Would have cost ăÂŁ300 in sandpit
Through the door at home before my scheduled appointment to pick up my new passport. Had time to buy some cold beers and now sitting in the garden.
Small wins. 
How many management jobs does PGMOL have FFS?
Corrected it, and as many as it needsâŚ
IF I pass tonightâs Covid Test THEN (how sweet) I have been asked for by the Border gang.
4 days in the delights of the Vito waiting to take someone/a group to anywhere in Poland (but usually Lidlâs or the local Coffee Shop)
Seems I made an impression. Can be boring as hell but I will earn a monthâs pay for a week just before coming back to Blighty for a short break next month.
Yesterday I repaired one of my Seiko Kinetic watchesâŚthe one on the left. Itâs about 7 years old and was bought to replace the middle one which is a 27 year old Seiko Kinetic which had stopped retaining itâs charge. I know what goes wrong with themâŚthe capacitor that stores the kinetic energy from feverous masterbation no longer stores enough energy to keep the watch going. Sending it away for repair in 1999 cost ÂŁ80 to renew the capacitor.
Today it costs around ÂŁ130 to have my latest Seiko serviced., i.e. replace the capacitorâŚfuck that. YouTube is full of instructions to make the repair so I bought a watch repair kit with all the little tools screwdrivers and tweezers etc. and the appropriate capacitor ( just a rechargeable battery really). Was it an easy repair? Yes, with one proviso; if you need glasses for close-up work get a jewellerâs magnifier to clip to your glasses. The little screw you need to remove and replace are 1 mm long and look like a speck of dust when you try to replace them. The last one took 30 minutes to replace. If you work on the dining room table make sure you have a smooth white table cloth.
BTW the repaired watch is keeping good time. 
Now onto the other two. The '80s one on the right, the Seiko RC-4000 must be worth 20 quid by now.
