Excellent mug.

Ha. Do I look like a ranger to you?

GolDannEye?

No Jean-Luc Picard?

Nice weather for a run today.

"I have usernames older than you" is a line for the ages and I'm going to do my utmost to find an opportunity to use it.

It is very much of its era. Good luck. High tolerance for classic Doctor Who will stand you in good stead.

Have you ever watched TOS before?

Oh, no wild garlic for me yet. Lots of mud though, can confirm.

The film Arrival?

Don't threaten me with a good time.

It took me a moment to get Burnistoun as my first thought was actually Spinal Tap.

I feel like LOTR offers so many opportunities for this sort of thing.

"Who are you?"
"Glorfindel."
"Who?"
<explains>
"That's Arwen. You're dressed as a girl. Ha ha! Ha ha!"

(Sorry, maybe scarred by the time I had to describe how a tunic wasn't a dress in a picture I drew when I was 10.)

Going for likeable but slightly overwhelmed, are you?

You're really not middle-aged.

Is it just me or does it somehow feel like this has been a really long one?

Growing up I was a kid in one of those 80s/90s households that only ever had a handful of videos, generally watched over and over. This was one, picked up from a bargain bin. It was watched precisely once. To this day it is my goto when someone asks me what my least favourite film is.

I honestly found myself wishing she was the lead last ep. I've been watching this show and putting up with the endless scenes of the angsty Chad only with the prospect of getting back to the kickass captain. For me, she's stealing the show.

Hazel Irvine.

Oh, this, this, a thousand times this. The number of conversations about the political and policy preferences of 16- and 17-year-olds vote in Scotland, and the answer is really "who knows?"

I once got a phone call from someone at an event asking me where I was and how late I was going to be. I asked to what. We checked and they had forgotten to actually invite me.

The highway code change about pedestrians having right of way over turning cars at junctions.

The council used this, my sympathies. I'm so glad everything else seems to just send SMS messages.

I wish the show was about her.

I'm 43.

Finisher table of the 30-39 grouo with Marco in third place and "43" clearly visivle in the age column.

I'm just going to take a moment to savour it, before they notice and fix it.

a woman with a surprised look on her face says i 'm old ! Alt: Jamie Lee Curtis with a surprised look on her face says i 'm old ! Marco is 43

Today I came third in a race in the M30-39 age category. There's just one small problem with that...

Nonsense, there hasn't been a dragon in these parts for a thousand years.

Oh, I like it. I'm now thinking of this as primarily a problem of predicting the choices and preferences of an electorate (c500 in SMC) and suddenly we're in territory I'm familiar with.

Go on...
