I feel like 9 is the one where you're most likely to survive but least likely to get any sleep (after 4, which also has far worse survival odds)

10 because I'm too tall and he's too short so he'll agree to swap so I can have the aisle seat and now I'm shielded from the nearest threat.

It felt more like an effort was made to NOT do that

For me the really insufferable thing is THEY DID BUILD IN A WAY TO DRAMATISE IT with the framing device.

(Seriously, here's a story where the first person narrator is...pretty important shall we say. So let's have the narration in a framing device (fine) and also let's have Poirot be the narrator because...who the f*ck knows?)

As much as I love that series I do question some of the liberties taken

I really don't know what the hell the thinking behind Ackroyd was

Okay, I admit I'm not very familiar with Christie's espionage work and from what I can glean it's characters with deeply silly names like Bundle, Battle and Tuppence getting up to hijinks and occasionally stumbling across a middle tier mystery.

Also amused that the Seven Dials Club itself, for all its ominous build up, just seemed to be a gay bar.

I also assume this is why Bill has no interest in Bundle.

Saw that Chris Chibnall Seven Dials thing and while it was nice to see stuff by him that's actually at broadcast standard I was more amused by my mother reacting with exactly the kind of joy at stately home location filming and recognisable actors that I assumed she would.

I am tempted by something inspired by her and her husband's archeology careers but also her doing a Hot Fuzz feels very tempting.

Without spoiling which would you say has the stronger solution?

Answering this would be futile until they build that Canada/NZ spirit portal

Wanna go into a Christie more or less blind

So Appointment with Death or Murder is Easy?

This is where having polls would come in handy

East facing view of Wellington Harbour at dawn on a still day with the sun and clouds reflected in the sea

Same as in first image but facing north east

Same as in previous images but facing further north with the Hutt Valley just visible over the water

Same as in previous images but facing more northwest

Nostalgic for when my city wasn't a storm lashed wasteland

But it is clearly On My Mind

Only collected the ashes today, just about coping

Also my dog was alive when I took these

Evans' Bay and Mount Victoria as seen from Maupuia at dusk on a still day

Same as in first image but angled slightly to the south

Same as in second image but further to the south

Ah

Gonna use this next time I cross the Cook Strait

Just did ten deliveries in a state of emergency

Another sunny day in Tāwhirimātea's favourite city 🙃

Woof

Honey we're already getting 2xl for everything and you don't offer any larger this doesn't exactly help

Boys with larger than average butts and thighs may want to size up

It has been pointed out to me that this is a fantasy standard

Just realised to my displeasure that Westeros's system of currency is roughly the same as the H*rry P*tt*r one.

Don't let the swords touch your skin
