They all have 16 valves. The 6 cylinder one has 16 valves (and also 8 more valves).

Not massively important, Charlie Jane, but it was Greywatch that Janos Slynt was being sent to. When Slynt said “it’s a ruin” he meant it literally - he’s being sent to a tumbledown shell of a castle, with ten builders (I think that’s what Jon was saying before Slynt cut him off and refused) to make it minimally…

Rory “the Hound” McCann will always be the Scotts Porage Oats man, walking the snowy

Yep.

Played Sardo Numpsi in The Golden Child too, don’t forget.

Iceberg lettuce is absolutely the worst kind of lettuce.

Besides, he’d already crossed the line. Lied, cheated, bribed to cover the crimes of others, and accessory to two murders - the line was a dot to him by the end of the episode, and he could live with it. Not sure there’s much more story to tell there.

But chemicals! And it’s a conspiracy anyway. And a parent just knows.

He says two more “I can live with it”s slightly later, just before he deletes the log.

You’d be able to “mine” reinforced concrete structures for a couple of centuries I reckon.

Assuming we’re talking about trying to reboot civilisation with a relatively small amount of people, we ought to be fine. There’d be a relatively large amount of forested land, enough to provide fuel for heating as well as charcoal without stripping the land of trees. There’d also be a relatively large amount of iron…

I watched it again the other day, and I think he’s convinced himself by the end. His repetitions go from “can I live with it?” to “I can live with it” to “I’m a bit saddened by how much it turns out I can actually live with it”. And they never mention it again because he deleted the entire log entry.

Stevie Me has been making that team worse for a couple of years at least, and I’ll be so happy when I can watch them without his stupid worried-looking face, creaky old knees, inability to tackle, and inability to grasp his own limitations annoying me.

A couple of bullets in the back of the head would be quicker, more certain, and thus more humane. If you’re going to kill people, trying to “science it up” by using lethal injection or electric chairs is hypocritical; it takes longer, it’s less certain, and it’s therefore cruel.

Is hydrogen peroxide an American thing? I don’t think it’s something we really use over here. I’d generally use a weak solution of dettol if I thought I needed to disinfect a wound, or just run it under a tap if it was one of mine since I don’t tend to worry too much about minor injuries, and then put a bit of…

I read them a wee while ago now, they're pretty good. Shame he felt he had to withdraw from consideration, but it's a classy move on his part. Here's hoping he gets nominated for realsies for another book later in his career.

Risk of death: HIGH.

Who also said "Yeah. I was having a shit" and "leave me alone I know what I'm doing" and basically all the other best quotes.

Wind, fire, all that kind of thing.

Lord John Whorfin and his own fairly impressive chin are right up there.
