Seriously, I must be getting old??

Elon Musk and his partner Grimes have welcomed their first child together, and when asked the child's name, he wrote - "X Æ A-12"

Sky News

Clearly 'Grimes' is his good lady's stage name, but the moniker that they have given that child is surely unpronounceable? It certainly is for me! i also understand that Electric Jesus has billions in the bank and therefore few cares in the world except where his next spliff is coming from, but that poor wee child will have to live with that for the rest of it's life.

I must be getting old
:grumpy:

 

Wasn't he the idiot who wiped $14 billion off the value of his company with a tweet a few days ago - yes it's a different world some people inhabit.

 

Naaah, you're fine, FC, ..............and pass that Spliff you're smoking will you.

 

The sad thing is, he and Tesla have done a lot of good - not only to advance EV's, but also in terms of grid storage etc, but he switches people off just by thoroughly obnoxious at times. Maybe it is because he doesn't have to care about anything nowadays that is the reason for the way he is?

 

They get called joints here too (and probably other things too) - I confess I don't know a lot about it having never partaken. Alcohol and cigarettes have been my only bad habits, and I haven't had a cigarette for around 17 years.

 

Not what we've heard, pete

 

I believe you, FC, now will you please pass that Spliff

 

I think it is "Shea-Ite".... well, the idea is anyway

 

I managed to resist partaking, even at college where it was in use quite frequently. Even the students used it as well . Smoking and drinking was another matter but I gave up both in 1963 (medical reasons) and never touched either since.

 

Well, I can honestly say, hand on Heart, Scouts Honour, that I have never smoked in my Life. While in the rif raf cigarettes were 10 shillings for 200


But because everyone else in the rif raf seemed to smoke I used to carry a packet of 20 in my pocket and offer them around when with friends. It used to cause surprise when people offered me a cigarette and I refused saying I didn't smoke. When going to a party it was customary to take a packet of 200 and put them on a table for everyone to help themselves. The fact that I never smoked was due not to anything anti-smoking but I just didn't have the inclination or see why people sucked smoke into their lungs.
