Everyone just openly drinking on this train, don't know why I go to the bother of disguising it in Fruit Shoot bottles

A friend who turned 80 today thanked me for 'not making me feel ancient'.
I spent so much valuable time as a child with the elders in my family, I've never considered it strange to have friends who are twice my age or more. Those are the people who taught me the most and treated me as an equal.

Thanks to Rob Grant, for making something that brought together a bunch of nerds from different backgrounds, at a time when we were still very much polarised and separated in many other walks of life.

And one of our number went on to help the fan team win Universe Challenge!

Had 3 mutuals in my mentions wondering whether this might be the time to watch Ghosts and honestly
a, I'm so jealous of anyone getting to watch it new from the start
b, I'd rec it to pretty much anyone, it's a gorgeous thing. A big, laugh out loud ensemble comedy, but it's about love & grief.

I went through a phase of replacing words in songs with 'cheesecake'. This was one of the songs it worked best in.

I stayed so much at a Doubletree they had a manager deliver a whole tin full of them to my room but I was so paranoid about being poisoned by Russia around the time we did all I Skripal stuff I flushed them down the toilet and spent the rest of the evening checking my pupils.

The description of the automated vending machine malfunction in Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers made me howl with laughter, there's a big crease in my copy, where I read it over and over again, with tears tripping me.

Red Dwarf's opening
YouTube video by introseries Red Dwarf's opening

Sad news about Rob Grant. Tangential to his writing I know, but I could never get over the opening titles of the early series of Red Dwarf, their epic loneliness – what a way to start a sitcom

The original opening title, the somber theme music, the loneliness & hopelessness of being the only remaining human in the universe…all made the 1st series of RW so good. The later series lost me with an overpopulated universe & showy plots. The low budget S1 was more like an existentialist play
