I refer to this common state as "unasleep".

Roses are green,
Violets are pink,
My laptop's screen

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Scotland scored four tries,
England scored two.

It would be even Scotlander to lose to Wales.

Just an idea, like.

Just pay the grocer, and kiss the host goodbye. It's not rocket science.

The most far-fetched thing in the movie in 1978.

The most believable part of the movie in 2026.

I'm not sure what the flex is?

I saw one of these in my garden this week, patiently waiting in a laburnum for a Blackcap to finish at the birdfeeder.

TWO species I'd never seen before, in the same eyeful!

This is false information. It is not possible to consume SOME of the crisps. There are crisps inside me, and crisps I can't see.

Plus - while granting she wasn't built for maneuverability - I'm pretty sure the Titanic could have managed a 180 in under 12 hours...

I thought the same.

Don't want to think it into reality, though...

That intro is a peak of 80s culture. It shouldn't just be in a museum, there should be museums named after it.

Grandad talked about the ep as if it was like his memories of WW2. It was an historical arfifact from another age. In fact he'd been 42 when it aired! It must have felt like a week last Thursday.

Meanwhile, I could have watched "Partners in Crime" at any time in the last 18 years... and haven't!

My Grandad being excited about the "Unearthly Child" repeat is a formative memory. It chills me to think how that equates to watching a re-run of "Partners in Crime" today...

It would have to not just be called "Cardiff", though.

Bottom line: We're the club(s)/region who compromised last time, in good faith. It's not our turn.

First: I absolutely DON'T want this to happen.

As an Os fan who grew up in Cardiff, and has always considered them my "second team"; if the Os had to go, this would be the least painful option for me, personally. I don't know how many others would feel the same. Probably some, probably not many.

I think there are thousands of us. I went from "Too scary / silly for me" to "I'll watch that whenever I can". It took another couple of years to become appointment TV, and for me to use the word "fan"; but this was where it started.

I fear we're actually planning to materialize underwater, and open the doors.

It used to stand for "Intruder Countermeasures Electronics", back when the Early-21stC Dystopia was fiction.

Not a word of that would be different had Biden spent the entire four years on the golf course.
