Bludgeon their karmudgeon in the Bond dungeon, Yucanti Altons.

Welcome to the Blind Boy podcast.

And welcome to 2024.

It's five years since the events of Blade Runner,

which I find upsetting because Blade Runner is my favorite

film I've been watching non-stop since I was about 14. And now it's no longer dystopian science fiction.

It's an inaccurate film about the past.

But I cycled into my office this morning.

The weather was horrendous. It was a full-blown storm.

Very strong winds, and torrential freezing cold rain that came at an angle,

and it was half-eight in the morning, and it was dark and purple and bleak and miserable and I

cycled in this for 20 minutes. No I didn't have to. I could have gotten a taxi, but I didn't do that. I put on completely waterproof, lined

boats, double trousers, the outer layer being 100% waterproof, waterproofex, waterproof insulated gloves and an incredibly warm

waterproof jacket. Now this is the type of weather that could ruin your day in

under five minutes. Absolutely ruin your day in under five minutes.

Absolutely ruin your day.

Salk it to the bone in zero degree temperatures.

And I cycled in it, and I was born dry and warm for the entire journey and it felt amazing it felt

astounding it felt beautiful it made me happy to be alive and it made me feel as if I had power, agency and a sense of identity.

And here's why. There's no denying that that weather was horrendous.

That's not pleasant weather.

A storm at the start of January is deeply unpleasant.
