Its sunny now 
What's it like there? Has Pippin got any more used to you... um... guess hamsters are hard to bond with. 
It's still weird here. I got rained on today.
Yeah, Pippin's fine... she knows how to indicate when she wants out and about... when she wants back in... and gets all excited over food.
Saw the Absolutely Fabulous movie today, I didn't want to... I was right not to want to. Best parts were the trailers for Suicide Squad and Ghostbusters.
Oh dear, sounds bad. Sitcoms rarely lead to good films.
So Chris Evans has left TG. On a scale of 1 to 10, how surprised are you?
I heard. Very surprised indeed... nope, I carry on that joke... Not at all surprised. Whatever people say about Jezza, you didn't hear of people leaving all the time during his tenure... Also, as soon as I heard about Matt Le Blanc's "he goes or I do" thing, I knew it was over for him. 
The precise point I knew it would be a disaster, was during a previous RTG [Real Top Gear] series, when Chris Evans was a guest, and said he'd spent five million on a car. Five. Million. On. A. Car. That's not in the ambitious but rubbish spirit of the show. All wrong... just all wrong. 
What were they thinking? I think the producers could do with another punch!
Exactly! James has a Fiat Panda for goodness sake (Which is why they had to put it in 'uncool' on the Cool Wall. They said. My Mitxy is cool. See?! *ahem*). Expensive and flashy isn't TG. "Here's a grand, buy a decrepit muscle car and go to Bognor Regis." is TG.
Today is a weird day... I got all my tabulation done for my guild's tournament honours page. Sorted out all the coding, did all the maths, felt proud of my team. That part was nice. Then... I found out Pokemon Go wasn't compatible with my phone. Google won't even give me the download option... and I don't get an upgrade until September. All my peoples are "OMG! There was a Ponyta in my wardrobe!" and I'm all... 
Yes, well said - that's the essence of TG.
Oh no how frustrating. No way round it that all then? 
Bad luck.
Perhaps kicking all their arses in Overwatch? After I get it and practice, of course... because the only thing that's so bad about it is everyone telling me how their houses are overrun with ratatta. Ah well.
I hope your Friday night is spiffy? Mine is... I gained an exalted reputation with Ironforge. Which is good 'cause I like Dwarfs (I'll use Tolkien's plurals, I think...) Sorry, I'm in gamer mode and can't shift it.
This gaming stuffs sounds good - very absorbing. Still, it must be hard to have to sit this one out. Updatey things and tecchy things in general, are a nuisance !
Nevermind. I have a new laptop coming, this one is starting to stress with wee flash games and averages about 16 fps (Should be getting between 30-60) and screams when gaming. And with that I shall be able to play Overwatch, which is nice.
New laptop? Oooh nice... what did you go for?
Acer. Ordered off amazon because it was the only place I could specify the graphics cards I needed. Surprisingly, PC World didn't have what I needed... at least not at this price.
Yeah there's probably a better range on Amazon. 
How has life been in your flat so far... neighbours ok and that?
It's been ok. Quiet, suits me. 
Can sit up to 3am watching Twitch streams... then doing the dishes. *ahem* Two days in a row... I am the worst.
Quiet is good. Well, its your hols... moseying around in the middle of the night is fine
Ahh *nods* Twitch is a gamey thing [thanks Professor Google 
]
Yes. Unfortunately, it means when I do have to get up early (this morning, for example), I end up lying in bed staring into the darkness until 3am.
All hail google. The amount of stuff I've had to check with a quick "Ok Google..."
Has your new laptop arrived? Always an exciting day when you open one up for the first time
Oh yes. It came one Sunday. World of Warcraft doesn't scream anymore... and it's playing at a higher graphic level and everything looks wonderful. I also downloaded Overwatch, which is fun but unavoidably multi-player. I have to psyche myself up to play it, because strangers. Especially since I'm not a great gamer.
Yes 
encountering new peeps... you never know what you're going to get. Good luck with the gaming, I'm sure practice makes perfect 
I had a good run tonight. I've gotten myself into a routine of who to play as if defending or attacking based on the make up of the team. So, I'm switching between three characters (maybe four when I work out how to trigger Junkrat's mines.
Only real sadness is that I can't play as the hot archery ninja that can summon dragons, his style doesn't work for me. Although he now the lock screen on this new laptop. (Archmage Khadgar is my wallpaper. Blizzard fangirl: Confirmed.)
Sounds brilliant! Especially on your spiffy new laptop.
Yes. And PokÃĐmon Go released today. I have a Bulbasaur, and I caught a Jigglypuff... I couldn't track the Eevee (think it was in the old folks home), and I live right next to a hub of pokÃĐ stops and gyms.
This is possibly a geekier summer than last year, were I watched every single episode of Poriot in order.
Nothing wrong with that. Hmmmm... I need the next thing to lose myself in ... any suggestions tv wise? Had Penny Dreadful recommended to me... Preacher looks intriguing. Something with a hint of dark, not in the mood for chirpy stuffs.
I haven't really been watching a lot of tv recently, sorry. Penny Dreadful seems ok, but I only last two or three episodes. As soon as I realised they weren't going to kill off Billie Piper permanently, I noped out.
I watched the first episode, it seemed ok. Was Billie Piper an annoying character in it? I haven't been in the tv mood much either... haven't seen G.O.T. since the hold the door episode.
What did you think of that accent? It was winding me up.
Game of Thrones was just same as always. Big thing episode 9 to distract, mess up the feudal order, and Varys overtaking Littlefinger as the teleportation champion.
Hmm.. didn't see Billie in it. Only watched ep 1 up to the autopsy on the bald vampire type thing. Was it an awful victorian cockney accent or something?
Yes Littlefinger's teleportation... there was much hilarity at that
Northern Irish. She's staying at the same inn as the American dude. (Who, if you watch the second episode you should work out about.)
Ah Littlefinger... How are we going to get past Moat Cailen? Go around it? Maybe you haven't heard of the entire concept of Moat Cailen? The whole, you can't go round Moat Cailen thing...? No? Nevermind...
Uh-oh, glad I missed that. Its weird... six months of Now TV + Movies and I've hardly watched it.
Those G.O.T. producers... what a liberty!!!
I like watch three shows on it. In fact I need to catch up with the Daily Show... All that PokÃĐmoning and Overwatching. 
I have discovered tonight, if someone drops a lure at the local pokÃĐstop, I can catch the pokÃĐmon from my flat.
How handy. TV can wait...Pokemon Go is sweeping the nation!!
Indeed. I had some pokÃĐmon successes today... How has your day been?
Ok thanks... been a bit of a grumpbag recently... apart from that, fine.
What did you catch on Pokemon? Apparently it's quite addictive...
Oh dear. Grumping is ok, within moderation. Grump a lot too.
Today I caught a Charmander with a high CP arc (pokÃĐmon rearing/training stats are complicated) and I hatched a Lickitung, likewise with the great CP, and bloody massive. I converted the metric into imperal and it worked out as just under 5' and just over 15 stone. I now understand why pokÃĐmon are kept in tiny balls.
That went over my head, but it sounds like you're having fun.
Is it hot where you are?
I am.
It's alright here. I think today's been the first truly warm day. It's been nice enough to walk for egg hatching.
I take it you've been in heatwave zone?
Egg hatching lol... do you see any other peeps out doing the same?
One day was supposed to be 29 c but it didn't feel too bad. Then it cooled, so it's just been pleasant T shirt weather.
Where is this ruddy Grand Tour at? I know they're filming and that but... hurry up
Yeah. You see loads, especially if a pokestop has a lure on it.
I don't know. But, James has a booboo on his finger.
Oh yeah, just checked his twitter, which made me miss them more. This year really needed their daftness as an antidote, don't you think?
His your pokemoning going - have you caught as much as you'd like ? It must be hard to stop once you get going
