A quick google suggests it might indeed have a double β€˜c’ in Italian!

I secretly believe that would have been a film of such Power that if he had got it made we would now be living in utopia. Like, the Equilibrium would have recalibrated around it. Curses would have ended. Arda would have been unmarred.

The answer to this is always and forever Michael Powell’s Earthsea, and we were so close…

I would need a sizeable slice marked β€œcleaning/showers”.

Have to admit that while I do live somewhere walkable (and with great buses), I’m still pretty furious much of the time. I think it’s because the nearby tailor isn’t the right tailor.

I think you might hear Brian Blessed say that.

Sarah’s been working on these moss coaster craft kits. I think you’re supposed to literally use them as a coaster, but imo they’re too idyllic to put a cup on.
Anyway they’re here if you fancy trying them too www.craftclubco.com/collections/...

Find somebody who looks at you the way Theo Kretschmar-Schuldorff looks at Clive Wynne-Candy for the whole closing scene of "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp".

Star Trek is a very serious sci-fi show about exploring space and the human condition.

Also Star Trek: β€œHey, remember when Lwaxana Troi’s telepathically shared menopause made everyone on DS9 snog each other?”

"War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend."
