@nessisonett Rofl, which do you prefer, the rugby or Strictly? What's your tipple?

@Kidfried What (illness) did you have? Preparing for Monday's guitar lesson, it'll be an exploration of some jazz fusion shred, in the vein of the late Allan Holdsworth and Guthrie Govan.

I've got nothing in particular planned for the weekend other than trying to make a vindaloo. It'll be the first time that I've made one, so it'll be interesting to see if it turns out okay.

Cycling followed by pizza. Looking forward to some Civilization 6 tomorrow morning. Getting near the end of a match with some friends.
@Draco_V_Ecliptic I've just went out for a curry with a couple friends, so feel a wee stuffed now. Apart from that, not much really, may pop over to see my sister either day for a few hours.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@Draco_V_Ecliptic I’m going to do some gaming, watch some sports, probably eat out and maybe watch some TV shows or a movie. With COVID I pretty much stay home. Which is fine by me. I’m fairly boring.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic We keep it simple with just bell peppers on them. With the thick base/crust we have, it’s filling enough!
We also make our own tomato sauce for pizza and other things as well. Chop a load of tomatoes, a bit of garlic, oven cook for a bit, then stick in the blender with a bit of basil and purée.

Only the usual of death threats being sent to developers and PS5 consoles being out in the wild. Usual story in video game world.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy PlayStation Fans thought they found the cure for Covid, by turns out it was just the algorithm for how the new trophy system works.

So just a bit of a warning what I am posting here must seem a bit controversial to some people not trying to be just some of my thoughts lately. @get2sammyb if this is some sort of rule violation let me know and I will remove my post.
Anyway today at work I got into a confrontation with a customer about not wearing a face covering of sorts. I asked her politely to be put on a face covering and she responded quite irate. She told me oh I am not infected that disease didn't come from Africa or Jamaica (the woman was an African American). At that point I politely told her I am sorry but to be in here you have to have a facial covering. She then proceeded to say that I threatened her, and she is not going to wear one. I told her again politely that's her choice but doing so she will have to leave the store. She told me that she was and was never coming back. I then left it at that as she started to walk out. She was about to leave but instead she turned around walked across the store and got into my face screaming that I am threatening her again and that she comes from South Oakland where they don't threaten with just words and I need to watch my back at then called me a f'in cracker and left.
Not this the controversial point I have. Since this whole mask thing started I have been threatened more by African Americans when I politely ask them to put on a face covering, personally I don't care about if they wear a face covering but I have to enforce it due to be a company rule. I have a couple Caucasian people get upset but not like the African Americans. I am not a racist person I have had friends and family from all walks of life nor do I treat anyone different. I ask all customers in the store to please put a face covering one if they don't have one be it White, Black, Hispanic, Asian etc. etc yet the African Americans are the one who go overboard.
I mean yes Black Lives Matter but the more of this kinda behavior I see from people like that it makes me feel like well the only reason why you are treated the way you are is because you act that way. I am not trying to judge people but why do they act this way just from me asking a simple request? What did I do wrong. I try to treat people kindly but I don't know.
Anyway just some thoughts I hope I don't sound too bad or offended anyone.
