Looks cheap and tacky and is lacking in warmth, style and sophistication

Haha! I shall be deaf in only one ear…

That is an intriguing thought though about what it’ll be like in the future.

The noise was *insane*

I could hear stuff from my flat and had no idea what was going on so took a look - a genuine surprise and great fun to watch.

And now I cannot hear.

I honestly don’t know enough about cars to tell you about this. But it’s one of those cool cars from like Grease the musical going around a roundabout

Yellow Americana style car where the back wheel isn’t fully visible because the chassis covers it

Very yellow car with its engine exposed - like a 1930s style cab but with a very very modern engine.

Two cool American style cars and I know no more. Hot rod style maybe? Yellow car.

Surprise American Car Rally in Redhill of the Day

Ooh, lovely stuff. Good luck with the launch - hope it goes really well. :)

Looking forward to it!

Will your focus be on traditional style cryptics, or variety ones?
And difficulty level? About broadsheet level? (Please not Listener or Magpie level...!!)

*grabby hands*

gimme gimme gimme

…but I will allow it, this once.
*retreats to corner of room, muttering*

You’re letting the Dans down, Daniel!!!

*old man yells at Daniel*

I do have to applaud the British weather for being warm and sunny for the vast few days and then turning cooler and cloudy for the weekend. It knows.

*becomes old man yelling at cloud*

Too kind! Suspiciously kind… :) (thank you!)

Thank you so much! I am proud to play the antagonist here, never seen, occasionally smelt.

Well that is very kind - I think the most props has to go to Chris, Gary, Matt and Tom for actually making it entertaining, but I am very glad I get to seed their thoughts and provide an initial direction for them to go.

(Read: Fart jokes)

It's less exciting than it sounds - Tom asks for a batch of questions a while before filming, I write a batch of questions. Anything not used he's free to use in the future - I suspect they record more than we see and only show the funnier ones.

If I haven't seen a qn yet - it could still come up.

I get around that by writing a big stack of questions and Tom picks the appropriate ones. I think I have a good handle on it anyway - but I do write more than is needed.

I also supply the answers/questions for this Tech Diff episode, and have one special question for @mattgrayy.es in particular.

Thanks, Matt!
Thatt.

I enjoyed the Greek word derivation caption! Highly impressed - fantastic work. These lot don't make it easy for you...

Not *this* time...

I'm back on Lateral, and I forgot I chose that shirt...!

Warning - this episode contains peas.

My TV does this but on a per-HDMI input basis - so you have to set it for [all TV channels in one go] then HDMI1 though 4. Stupid. Silly. Irritating.

(I only just found out it was wrong on HDMI3, and I've had the TV for three years!)

YouTube video by Magic: The Gathering Magic: The Gathering Enters the Avatar State

I'm not a fan of the Universes Beyond sets in Magic the Gathering - and I stopped playing Magic a few years ago for time, money and keeping-up-with-everything reasons - but I have to say the Avatar: The Last Airbender set does look really neat.

Congrats!!

A cardinal sin of The Weakest Link - don’t hesitate, immediately answer or pass. Top sitcom quizzing critiquing.

Absolutely no idea what crossword I should solve on Thursday…

*jots down Sunday*

A picture of the Shard with the sun shining brightly towards the camera. The sky is blue with some high citrus and an occasional plane contrail.

Shard of the Day

I shall do that at some point - I’ve just decided to head home instead.

Anything notable worth doing in central London in the next hour or two before I bimble home?
