This! (Plus any chance to air this clip of that asshole Katie Hopkins get shown up)

I’m kind of surprised he’s not wearing gloves in those assembly pictures; the possibility of a stray fingerprint in all that acrylic....

Watership Down! They showed (what was probably) a shortened version of that to my class when I was in junior school, maybe between 9-11 years old, max. Don’t know what they cut out to shorten it, but it wasn’t enough to stop them having to walk a procession of crying children out of the hall.

As an alternative, there’s the Streamlight Microstream, a small but bright torch with an S shaped clip so you can attach it to the peak of a cap;

I’ve not seen the film, but once they heard his demands wouldn’t it be cheaper to say “Well, we’re reshooting with Christopher Plummer so why don’t we re-cast Wahlberg too?” Is he in that much of the film he was unreplaceable?

I got mine yesterday (more lack of opportunity than unwillingness), and some of the registered nurse were acting all “no, it’ll give me flu”! I’ve had actual, proper flu once in my life when I was about 19 and I felt so unwell I watched all of Lonesome Dove on VHS!

Who didn’t see this kind of thing coming when they heard the orbital cannon existed?

I’m surprised the UK passport office accepted my picture; while it met the technical requirements, I look like the Unabomber’s angry younger brother. The booth even managed to make me look even more deranged because the scar tissue on my left eye didn’t reflect the light in the same way as my healthy right, making it

I’d pay to see that, if only out of curiosity. But who to cast as the Batman? If he could be persuaded, Clint Eastwood, bringing that Dirty Harry/Unforgiven snarl...

One other thing about N Korea that either no-one is talking about, or at least I missed the conversation, was the presence of anthrax antibodies in escapees blood implying inoculation against it, and possible weaponising of it. So now along with the threat of a successful nuclear launch, or an unsuccessful but “dirty”

I managed to find it as an MP3 and put it as my ringtone for a while 😁

I’m very organised, bordering on obsessive about some things, and endlessly frustrated by my colleagues; your last paragraph sounds hauntingly familiar to me! I find coursework difficult, can’t reference for heck, but I’m the go-to person for advice. The nicest thing a tutor said about my essay writing was that I

Pretty sure you’re describing me too! Don’t know how I managed to qualify as a nurse with my organisation skills (except maybe that it was a long time ago, and things were simpler then), and it maybe explains why I suck at managerial stuff but have hands-on skills for days...

It’s about them selling it in bottles; she actually told them “if you liked it then you should have put a ring pull on it”

I love this film and I’m British! I even had the soundtrack, which between that and the Way Anything soundtrack, made up a healthy chunk of my listening...

I prefer sitting in the back, because planes don’t generally reverse into stuff...

I remember playing F29 Retaliator and finishing the whole damn thing using a mouse as my main control, including take offs and landing every mission. This may speak more of the ease of the game, rather than my talent as a video gamer, though....

My son decided to rest a full bag of popcorn on the shelf in the back of the driver’s seat. Doesn’t sound too bad? Well it didn’t stain, or smell, but that stuff is still turning up between seats, in the boot, and the car’s been valeted more than once...
