That funicular when...

Spare the fun and spoil the icular.

Have you considered watching the ten grossest films of 1987?

A New Impetus for Writing I found myself with more time than expected at the weekend because two seperate plans were cancelled. I used the time to catch up with some overdue writing. I'll address that later in the entry, but we firstly need a little background. I've occasionally mentioned that I write fantasy stories under a pseudonym on a well-known website. For the avoidance of doubt, I’m not at a stage where I wish to claim ownership of these, so references to the plot will be vague.

New blog post: A New Impetus for Writing.

I'm looking forward to seeing all these ranked once you've watched them.

Thank you. Technically correct, of course, is the best kind of correct.

Film poster showing Zendaya and Robert Pattinson posed closely together in front of a bookshelf, her hand resting on his chest, with their names prominently displayed above the title ‘The Drama’ alongside the credit ‘Written & Directed by Kristoffer Borgli’ and a release date of 3 April 2026. However, the name 'Zendaya' is over Robert Pattinson, and vice-versa.

Oh, that annoys the heck out of me whenever I see it. Such malpractice continues to this day. I wish the photographers and typesetters would have a word with each other.

My plans for both Friday and Saturday nights fell through, albeit for legitimate reasons outside my control.

However, I do somewhat wish I was an old-timey lothario with a little black book full of collected phone numbers to reach possible last-minute dates.

Eastbourne is the France of England, just as Edinburgh is the England of Scotland.

I think the solution to both problems is that each party should stop wasting time and do it themselves.

You Be the Headmaster.

Now they're sharing a flat in East London where Dave wakes her up every morning at 6am making protein shakes before running round the park, while Lily secretly seethes and washes his bottles in the toilet but is too polite to say anything that might fix the situation.

I guarantee Dougie puts things straight into the washing machine after he wears them without sorting, whereas Theresa prefers putting them into a laundry basket first so she can then sort them before loading the machine.

The Middle Aisles, of course.

TRÈS BIEN !

Wikipedia tells me Eastbourne voted to leave the EU, thus putting a dampener on that argument:

That's... um, that's... You Be The Georgina.

Fortunately, the two are on exactly the same day, and are pretty much identical.

Still from an old Dolmio advert showing a puppet with a large nose, thick eyebrows and a moustache holding a jar of sauce in one hand, set against a warm kitchen‑style background with food items visible and the slogan ‘WHEN’S‑A YOUR YBTG DAY?’ along the bottom.

Dump him, gi-

Er, I mean: happy birthday to Rosie.

Actually, there's only one reason I'd rejoin: a lovely young trans man with whom I shared a kiss more than two years ago let me follow his friends-only alternative account, and it was equally as lovely as he was.

Still, that's the only reason.

Is Bluesky back up at cruising altitude again? It's been down today and I was driven so mad that I nearly rejoined 𝕏, the everything app.

No wonder his last name is 'Arm Strong'.

Things should start from itch because without that, there's no scratch.

Listening to Lunar Lore Like millions of people over the last few weeks, I've been following the progress of the Artemis II project to orbit the moon and return home. I'm no expert on space, but the mission appears to have been a textbook one. The splashdown was even timed perfectly for primetime Friday night TV in the US, although we in the UK had to stay up somewhat later.

Most of the known peaks on the lunar surface are upwards of 3000ft or 914.4m, leaving the field wide open for someone to bag all the Moonroes.

I'm going to start singeing off my emails.
