Pot noodles = ramen
Gateau = a cake*
Note: A gateau is a cake-size cake, as opposed to their "cake" which Americans might call an "individually-sized snack-cake single" if we have allowed the corporate drones to suck all the life and fun out of us. The point is that a "cake" is meant to be consumed by one person; by contrast, a gateau is a cake meant to be sliced up and served among several people.

A new production bumper for my imaginary multinational conglomerate: (That sound bed is one of my own; I like the way it turned out.)

I forgot all about this song ... Olivia was incredible even back then ... "If Not For You" on a 1971 episode of an Australian variety program.

Reading some poetry from the 1600s by Matthew Prior: It's not always easy to tell with these poets, because they delight in making obscure points that can be difficult to decipher, but I think "Cupid and Ganymede" is an early defense of gay marriage:

I usually think of myself as being reasonably intelligent, but in certain areas, I'm the last to know. Maybe I'll give myself a break and just be happy that I'm making any progress at all. Cheers!

@hawksun OK, so I think that last one was a dm, right? And so this one must be on the public feed. I guess? lol I think I have to read the documentation.
