Blog ≫ 2020 ≫ I could get a riot shield

I was reading about the loony anti-masking anti-social-distancing demonstration in Leicester Square yesterday, and how one of the protestors had a riot shield confiscated. Can you just buy riot shields then? Yes you can 1! I think I will get one, I think it would look good hung on the wall, maybe in the downstairs loo. Now do I want a round one 1, the original style I had in mind? Or do I want an armadillo interlocking shield 2? Decisions decisions.

This led me down a rabbit hole, I could also get a stab vest 3. Is this the same as a bullet proof vest? I was thinking this would make an interesting fashion item, a bullet proof vest. Maybe I am inspired by seeing Adam And The Ants on a Top Of The Pops special last night.

I'm not supposed to be browsing ebay, I'm supposed to be making curry for tea. Going to try and finally use one of those base gravies that I made a few weeks back.

Gig anniversary for today, a David Devant show. Looks like I have the date wrong, as Ade just came up with the ticket:

Also today in 1995 was Fluffy, today in 1996 was The Longpigs and today in 2013 a rare trip back to London for the Magic Numbers.

Oh that Emu game I mentioned is here 4, but it doesn't work on mobile or touch screen devices at the moment, only desktops. I'll fix that, maybe.

Now to do that curry.
