As my mum always said, "it's no good being in the right if you're dead". Who comes off worse when a car hits a pedestrian?

Doing an external training course at work was asked for my English and maths GCSE certificates by the provider. If we didn't have them we'd have to take an additional course. Luckily my mum had them still, 35 years on.

Nobody I know remembers this guy apart from me.

Kid? I'm over 50 and I make sure the less assertive ducks get their share.

Yep, in my regular nightclub going days they never finished much past 1 or 2. And usually got busy after 11 when the pubs closed.

Not a medical doctor, but also not a doctor of steampunk eyewear either ๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ

Don't always have "shop bought" pastry in at home. Always have flour and butter in. That's why.

I'd divorce a guy who wore a blazer too.

What are you talking about? It's great!

Charity shops do well out of it.

Probably trying to get it over and done with as quickly as possible due to the creep who watches them shower.

Johnny likes Jazz, so I heard.

First series is not great. Has too much Kira in and she's annoying as hell. She gets better though, and the show becomes amazing. Stick with it!

The Steve Hillage cover version is the definitive version.

Today's retro pickup.
I subscribed to Eagle (the relaunch) from issue 1, as it was plugged in other comics I was reading.
Sadly, my stack of issues was thrown away in the mid 90s.
It's packed with 80s A list celebs!

Bit too close to elevenses for me.

If you do a remote speed awareness course they enforce the cameras on policy extremely strictly, so they'll make you do it again if you don't.

Some of the (younger) people I work with won't answer the phone. One told me she panics when the phone rings. When did this start?

They should. But people make out it's their plan. It was passed by royal assent in 2023. Sure they could (I think) have stopped it.

Labour getting the blame for another Tory act again..

One of my favourite films. And one of Spielberg's best.

Does it really ruin the concert though?

I played it last night and it's really great!

It credits Fez on the title page.

I thought the same so tried an experiment by talking about something random. Never received adverts, surprisingly.

Just don't get a magnet near it.

Job for retirement (assuming I make it that far).

It's been decades since I looped that game. Can still get something like your score with a bit of practice though.
