Yep. The Day Before You Came is also great. A shame they imploded at the beginning of what was clearly going to be an interesting phase
My wife still occasionally uses "You grew up with a dishwasher, I didn't" as an excuse. We've had a dishwasher for nearly 15 years
Common Peephole She came from Greece, she had a faulty socket. Her eye fell out, she couldn’t stop it. That’s when I caught her eye. Brian Bilston

Willim?
Just a heads up to any fellow parents, the formula recall has expanded to Aptamil and Cow and Gate now, as well as Nestle and Danone, please do check if you use formula at all on case you need to stop:
And every reason to spend those 2 years trying not to think about Space Babies
Rhythm. And unambiguous communication of whatever the writer wanted to communicate. Obviously anything can be mangled by the reader's brain, and writing can be deliberately unclear or ambiguous, but "deliberate" is the key word there. Good writing knows what it is doing
A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain.
A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones.
The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...
A THREAD. Which I have decided to call 'Reasons Why Owls Are Excellent'.
1. They are always putting the needs of others before their own.
Duke of Edinburgh will always be Philip. Edward is just Edward
Absolutely
Meanwhile plenty of the people living on them will still refer to Andrew's brother as Prince Charles
My brother once mangled the punchline to the other Edward Woodward joke and told me a man with three planks of wood on his head was called Edhead Woodhead
Tennant in RTD's Casanova was very similar to his Doctor, although (a) he wasn't a Doctor Who actor at the time, and (b) the Doctor wasn't really like that until Tennant
His great uncle Jimmy, who turns up frequently in this

And, eventually, the socket on the device. Pretty much the only reason I replaced mp3 players until bluetooth earphones came along
We watched all of Silent Witness over the course of a few months last year. Some actors turn up as multiple characters, others as the same cop years apart. Ruth Gemmell was a fairly major character in the first series and then at least two one-offs in later series. It's lovely to see
If you bought it last week for £1m, that's wealth and should be taxed. If you bought it in the '80s and it's now worth £1m, that's because you worked hard and you deserve to keep it all
You can just not use gen AI. Just don't. You've lived your entire life without it, it is in fact incredibly easy to keep not using it.
The problem is, we don't see what exposure to ideas does to us. The human brain is a machine for rationalising the irrational. It will tell you you're the same person you were a year ago no matter what you've been through. We all think - every single one of us - that we can't be manipulated.

Glynis Johns (Mrs Banks) only died last year, aged 100. With one or two notable exceptions, the Mary Poppins cast was delightfully long-lived
Our primary school library was just a room with books in. We were only allowed to use it in groups containing at least one sensible child, or accompanied by whoever's mum was volunteering that day.
A decent selection of books though. We were lucky. I have no idea who maintained it
Imagine being able to conjure that out of a piece of lino. It's Exquisite. The sense of movement
Neighbours dwarfs the lot of them though
Cleansed your timeline; tear-stained my cheeks
A book is a great accessory. Small enough to fit in a pocket/handbag, useful enough that you can pretend it's not just there for show. Printed books are often ornamental anyway, and nobody's going to see your lovely bookcase unless you've attracted them to your house in the first place

Acrylic painting. We see a back wall and the floor leading out from it, both surfaces painted with stripes of white, dark blue, brown, white and light blue. Across the floor scampers a mass of abstract paint; strokes and splats of greens, whites, browns and reds, with two of the strokes at rhe bottom vaguely resembling legs walking along. To the left, in white, the words: oh, look - it's the gatecrasher.
A painting called...
