Ah the typical American exceptionalism and suspremacism attitude being knocked on its ass by a Brit.
Americans always underestimate the resolve and performance of Brits, both as "forces" and "its population".
Thanks for the laugh, Alan.
Younger David Lynch vibes... Probably. π
Another music quiz... Anyone? π
Eeeesh... Yup. My hair longer than it ever has been looks fecking awesome. π
Meh, I'm allowed to update with a new photo or 3. I keep going extended periods without doing so. More so over now because I've not been doing my usual update it when I feel good about myself. Which I still don't.
I have other ideas. π
My "Criterium" Plugin can easily handle it.
Speaking of...
Expert - 80s Music quiz. π
It might be difficult. π
Since a Trump didn't blow up Iran yesterday... Does that mean it was technically Taco Tuesday? π€£
New quizzes will drop in the next few days:
60's Music - Easy #1
70's Music - Easy #1
80's Music - Expert #1 (Likely today) π
90's Music - Easy #1
UK News - 30th March to 5th April 2026
And more are definitely planned. Throw your suggestions in the comments.
I'm definitely not safe. I'm not interesting. π
The Daily Express choosing to opt for an attack on "not stopping the boats" rather than headlining their bumchum in chief Tango Twat Trumps threats to end Iran as a civilisation.
Proving that all that UK press NEEDS reporting regulation prioritising current facts and not their delusional fallacy.
I might take this voice sample and create a track. π¬
Update: Most the UK will be seeing temps above 20c tomorrow.
This also puts pollen alerts into the π₯ Very High π₯ (Dark Red) range. Hayfever sufferers should be taking their anti-histamines if particularly susceptible to tree pollen, specifically Poplar/Cottonwood, Plane, Birch & Cypress.
Something else...
Should I sort out all the quizzes of the 60s, 70s, 90s, 00s and 10s...
And post the hard difficulty of the 80s? π
A temporary solution until I get the fix added.
Also... I just edited the page.
Not really, I haven't added a rate limiter yet.
So, fair game. I can remove your "dud link" result if you want me to.
@superleggera.bsky.social...
Did you just a speed run? π
30/30 in 1 minute 32 seconds? π€―
There's no issue with that, I did add a note under the dropdown with specifics. However, I may need to add a fallback system to relog entries for Bluesky defined as just their subhandle and add auto appending of [.bsky.social].
Your & LilyBombs links should be working properly when I make that fix.
Did you use your full user handle "superleggera.bsky.social" or just "superleggera"? Just wondering.
This will help me define the needed fix.
Just spotted another issue on the Highscore handling.
Okay, so those using bsky[.] social handles are not being linked to, the presection of their handle is shown but the handle remains don't append [.bsky.social] back on the link.
I'll fix it. π
UK focused music quiz...
80s music. 30 questions.
Background music: Monday by Amicite (aka me).
The code is complicated.
And the entire thing is a 250kb (0.25mb) plugin for Wordpress.
There is a countdown function as well so players can get settled before the quiz starts but that also needs sorting out graphically.
Overall though. It's a tidy piece of work.
Glad to hear that. I know there's an issue with the Top 10 area on the Highscore table on mobile (portrait) displays. I'll sort that out on Friday.
Glad ya liked it. Did everything behave when you used it? π π€
The darkness spreads.

This I can get behind. π
Sharing again, just in case you missed it. π
