  1. This headline made me do a double-take, until I realised it was #RoadSafety Great Britain rather than #RSGB (#radio society of Great #Britain) for #RadioAmateurs - TBH if any #hams *are* pulled up for #DUI (unless they are prog-rock loving #hippies who still indulge now and then , which isn't that uncommon round here, quite a few #seniors been nicked recently) its more likely to be happen due to #drugs they got prescribed legally for age-related health conditions (usually #benzodiazepines and #opiates) than #partydrugs (beware - even a legal prescription is *not* a "get out of jail free" card, and an OM who ends up mounting the kerb trying to adjust his VFO whilst driving might well be swabbed / blood tested)

  2. I've promised to myself - and others - that one day I'd write a novel about "The Family".

    It would be a work of fiction based off real life and it would be about a loose knit community in #Bergen #Norway, comprised of #hipsters, #hippies, #newagers and #ravers.

    They have cost the #Norwegian #welfare system millions - and don't even know it.

    I'm not sure if I'm at a point in my life now where I can write about them, but I will be employing my inner #huntersthompson and #williamburroughs.

  3. There's an overlap between #hipsters, #hippies, #newagers and #ravers. It's possibly the most toxic ven diagram you could go into as a "neuro divergent" (at least here in #Bergen, #Norway).

    Basically, I remember them going from "oh they're attracted by the pretty colours" to "oh they are self destructive".

    What I experienced from the other side was a sycophantic group filled with narcecists that cost the local government tons of money in health care. Teach your kids to stay away.
