Fair enough. I like top sheets, just don't tuck those buggers in on the sides, imo (otherwise how can you get your feet out for heat regulation?)

[SKATE] Managed to get out for a late afternoon / evening session for #GoSkateboardingDay at Panmure skatepark. Skated with a few other old-head locals, including Mike who was there when I had my collarbone break. Always interesting to hear an external viewpoint. Nice skate sesh too! 😁

Not seen/heard of this and initially thought "What a bizarre cast pairing!?" then I looked at the cast list and OMFG THIS HAS A WILD CAST 🀯 Yet in amongst the madness is something that,sans context, makes so much sense...

Picture looked awful on default, but a simple single menu setting change put things to rights. I still don't get why people like watching film/TV with picture quality that make everything look like a cheap set rather than an immersive setting. I guess 'bright and shiny' works for many ppl Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

Upgraded our TV for the first time in maybe 15yrs (!?! Ikr, for someone so into movie watching etc you think I'd be more kitted out...) Pretty excited to see in the meantime tech companies listened to the filmmaker complaints about TV settings and made a decentish 'Filmmaker' picture mode #win
