So, duh.
Interesting idea. Except Ukraine agreed to give up all their nukes (which they did have) in a treaty where Russia agreed not to invade and America said they'd respond if they did. Interesting to see how disarmament went for them, innit?

To the extent that decades ago I remember some BBC show asking an expert what the best dog to have as a pet was, and he said greyhound. You take it for a walk to the park, it goes like a bat out of hell for five minutes, then it's just chilled.

06.02.2026 14:35 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I hope Russel T Davies's Dr Who Christmas special kills the show. Temporarily. I hope it stays off air for about 30 years. Then someone writes a triumphant return in 2055. And the show runs 8 years from then, and does a 100th anniversary special.
That writer is about 16 years old already...
... and a 13 year run from then will reach the 100th anniversary...
06.02.2026 14:22 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Nah. They killed it... again. Leave it another 20 years, so there's a properly fresh group of writers coming through to start it up again. Be grateful for the Davies1/Moffat years, but let it go. It can come back again. The person who writes the triumphant return in 2050 has already left school...

Always struck me as odd that Bad News was being made at the same time as, and came out before, Spinal Tap. There must have been something in the (h)air.

Never mind the fact that I'm not a millionaire - why are there even adverts for Coutts at all? Surely people that rich have other ways of finding such services, and wouldn't get an account because they saw an ad during Taskmaster?
