Little Blodwyn was starting to suspect that Mr Dai-Aggy's "Harp on, harp off" advice was not going to be entirely helpful in her battle against the schoolyard bully.

Just one of 200 prints I have this is called Ghosts of Scottish churchyards and shows a tartan clad enormous ghost.

Hopefully so, and thanks for trying to make a difference.

If the majority was men they'd be trying harder to find a cure?

My boss used to have a Lotus Elise, fantastic cars to (be) drive(n in), but a bugger to get in and out of.

Obviously not that kind of vampire then.

Pretty soon bands are going to have to call themselves a random assortment of letters, much like the drop ship companies on UK Amazon.

That's probably a euphemism.

The way our government has been going, not sure I'd trust them not to snoop on its citizens, but only the "bad" ones of course.

Indeed, if there's anyone still in game dev that's driving Ferraris then it's not anyone I know about.

I'd forgotten the joys of trying to find a specific product on (UK) Amazon these days, means trawling through hundreds of "similar" products from Chinese "scrabble letter" companies.

Yes sometimes best to leave childhood memories as just that.

We do get the occasional case of fans trying to work out what game we're working on next (which due to contractual reasons we often can't acknowledge).

Always seemed a slightly contradictory title, but its heart was in the right place. Seems like most of the episodes got wiped, and most of the clips available on YouTube are of a later vintage than when I used to watch it.

Powers all we do
One day we'll learn why it's here
Surely can't be bad

I'm trying to come up with a name for the room I store my tools and do my repairs. Might have to workshop it later.

Rule of thumb: If you wouldn't be doing something if you didn't get "likes" for it, maybe think about doing something else instead?

I had a look for movies called Chrome or Edge, but only found a few not too well known / shorts.

I always thought that was "We Are the Whirled", as in everything whirls around us... No wait, as you were.

I assumed they'd typoed "since" for "stealing from".

Almost no chance anybody could be bothered to spy on me, still i'm tempted to buy one and find out. If course now governments will by flagging anyone who buys one, so swings and roundabouts.

It doesn’t take long of being off work before I lose track of what day it is.

I always enjoy stories where heavy metal bands / fans turn out to be better human beings than the fundamental religious.

We usually have Aunt Bessy’s, rarely disappoint but not a patch on a good home-made.
