So, what’s the reason for the lack of posts this time?

I’m partial to buying what some what call junk from Aliexpress, so recently I had a need for some cheap coasters and figured I’d have a look there for something suitable. There’s little point in my buying those in Switzerland, they’ll be 10 times the price.

And I realise I’m probably subjecting myself to the whims of big Algorithm feeding into big data for the Chinese Government, but it’s a risk I’m willing to take.

You can’t go home again.
A few words about time travel, I guess. Back in 2004, there was a initiative from somewhere in the BBC to produce a Doctor Who themed remix album.
