Benefits of a University education (our first year houses were infested with Egyptian ants).

Little bit of washing up liquid on a fingertip, tiny smear to make whatever border you wish to maintain, and they won’t cross it.

Worry for those neighbours that are never getting their cups back.

Cthulhu is actually just planning a series of quirky yet daring bank robberies though.

Meanwhile Tommy “Fingers” Jenkins, small time petty thief, is just out of the joint, and has a plan to unravel the fabric of time and space across this and every other dimension.

Spider-Man is a tortoise.

Plus ça change…

I’d quite like to be able to leave the battlefield, and at high speed in a Cromwell ;)

I’m not sure you can say “primarily” before embarking on a long list of significant factors.

Alright, but *apart* from the logistical & mechanical failures, the high production cost, fuel consumption, shitty wheels, weight…what was wrong with the Tiger 1?

Didn’t that used to have a red door?

The footage:

In terms of ‘songs they never wrote’; imagine if he’d shut down The Cure and remained a Banshee? I’d love to hear Siouxsie and Budgie delivering “A Hundred Years”, and all the other songs on that album.

They didn’t just build a ship, they built a Class of ships.

Really? I’ve seen Little Shop of Horrors, Spamalot, The Book of Mormon, Rocky Horror…all created decades after Oklahoma. I had exactly the same reaction as your friends when I saw Les Miserables:L
“Are they actually going to sing the whole thing?”

There was 50 minutes of achingly-laboured exposition and flashbacks *before the credits ended*.

Christ, this smacks of the last Mission:Impossible movie - the kids & I went along expecting some enjoyable bullshit nonsense, but some genius had decided to reverse-engineer an over-arching plot to encompassed all the previous films, and turn it into an overblown finale for the whole franchise.

Also, Spurs fans (for example, chosen at random for no reason) can bookmark any posts mocking their sites attacking their situation, and take bitter revenge if those teams join them in the Championship in years to come.

Also, *fewer

The whole team wears those red socks. It’s because they’re The Red Sox.

I bet you wear shirts, right?

…for the next 20+ years. They’re relying on ticket sales to pay a lot of that, but if they’re relegated, then prices and attendance are a lot harder to maintain. They seem to have relegation clauses, but you’d imagine there would be a fire sale anyway. Would they bounce back up after that?

I don’t see that bit of MOTD, but was wondering “what happens to Spurs if they get relegated?”. After some in-depth research (looking at Wikipedia for five minutes), I learned that in 2021 they had the highest debt of any club in Europe, and spend £30m a year paying for their stadium…

“Winterdance” by Greg Paulson is probably one of the ones you’ve read, but if you haven’t then it is worth getting a copy.

In fact, anyone that hasn’t read it should do.

I’m surprised surviving gets such a harsh review - I’d have thought it would be the preferred outcome.

Mind you, you never hear any reviews from people that *don’t* survive plane crashes…

An old screengrab of a notification from Twitter “Chris Kamara liked your reply”.

Watched it recently with my teens - had to explain to them that in 1983 the idea of casual, un-managed contact with Soviet citizens was almost impossibly unlikely, and that isn’t just a nice bit of narrative, but it emphasises what a magical and peculiar place Mac finds himself in.

When they scored, I thought Spurs were going to spoil the fun - stupid of me, because obviously they were just setting up a Spursy finale.

Great to see #lufc’s Georgi apply the comedy gold.

This is what Record Store Day should really be about - moody clerks being dicks to customers.
