Do Androids Dream of Electric Beats?

  Celebrating the release of Blade Runner way back in 1982 by soundtracking dystopia with Tyrell approved tunes, Roy Batty beats and synthetic samples. And yes, before you ask Blade Runner is probably one of THE most Autistic coded movies ever ( I even tried to explain why once upon a time ) so this post is justified! Anyway, enjoy....

I think I may have hit the I really can't be bothered being civil with housing point right now (to be fair it has been going on since February), we've gone from them being very nice since Social Work got involved to in the last week them phoning SW (our allotted worker is on annual leave) because we hadn't rung them back straight away to now adding seemingly random policy rules to our promised move. A house (not ours) for illustrative purposes.

  Bizarrely it's exactly 5 years today since my Sedgley UFO tweet went a wee bit mental, amassing over 2 million hits on Twitter and culminating in TV coverage, newspaper headlines and death threats from fringe religious groups worldwide.

And remember, the truth is out there. Probably.
