The MX4 Pro was unveiled today. That’s the phone rumoured to be released with Ubuntu as an operating system.
The model featured on the Meizu web site, however, runs Android.
While I’m still hoping for an Ubuntu version soon, I have to admit that this is an impressive phone.
I remember watching an episode of The Tube in the early 80s, when Paula Yates (I think) interviewed Bryan Adams. She mentioned that he was born in England and he, awkwardly, corrected her, saying that he was born in Canada. I’m not sure why that stuck.
I went to see him with my second in command this evening. I’d mistakenly bought tickets because I was under the impression that she really liked him. She does, but not a lot.
Fortunately, she enjoyed his performance very much. While I quite liked him in the 80s, it’s not my kind of music. But I must concede that the man has talent.
There may be a video from this evening, and it may even relate to 1969; I’m assuming it shall appear on YouTube.
A few weeks ago, possibly influenced by beer, I bought a Morrissey T-shirt. Being a standard Gildan printed shirt, it didn’t quite fit, so I decided to copy it.
As I’ve mentioned previously, I’m not a Morrissey fan, but I do:
1) agree with his views about animals
2) like the shirt
Anyway, it worked out ok.
I made some particularly nice pies this evening.
Chestnut mushroom and Erdinger; they were truly man-pies.
After rediscovering Augustines (or We are Augustines when I stumbled across them at T in the Park a while ago), I’ve mainly listened to their new album, which is surprisingly called Augustines. However, since their European tour has now begun, I’ve switched to the earlier Rise Ye Sunken Ships. And my bus journeys to work and back are now so much nicer.
Lentils are quite possibly my most favourite food. Yesterday, I put a lot of effort into making a vegan cottage pie, loosely following a recipe from the Vegetarian Society. I left out the cheese and added chick peas and haricot beans. It was pretty nice too.
Sadly, my second in command didn’t agree. So I had some again this evening.
Earlier today, I had some delicious chips from Visocchi’s.
While sitting in the Tuns, while sheltering from the rain keeping my second in command company while she watches football, I glanced out of the window and, just for a second, saw the Angel of the North. And then realised it wasn’t.
Shandygaff, or Radler, seems to have been invented in either England or Germany, around the early 1900s. Possibly as a drink for workers or cyclists. According to differing accounts on the Internet, that is.
Either way, it’s very refreshing after chopping firewood. Mine was made with Double Maxim and was particularly nice.
I’m currently watching a film with my second in command’s dad, on Movie Mix. I’ve no idea what it’s called, but it’s about the restoration of Christmas Lodge, basically a lodge in the mountains. Fortunately, God is on hand to help.
I swear I’ve never heard the Lord mentioned so many times in just over an hour.
Now two families that’ve both been through hard times are united for Christmas at the newly restored Christmas Lodge. There’s a marriage proposal too. And grandpa’s playing the fiddle for the first time since his wife died.
I may vomit.
