Anyone upset about their A Level results just remember that they seem important now but eventually you won’t even remember what you took (I don’t )

Still watching the new Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins - definitely a big improvement on recent series, and feels like the earlier non-celebrity versions.

Also still watching the various FBI shows, and slowly watching 2007 Emmerdale repeats (much better than modern one, which I don't watch)!

Channel 5 in the UK showed this a few times in early 2000s.

I'd file it under "fun, enjoyable, entertaining, and not as bad as a lot of people say it is"! πŸ˜€

Also - I like the new Paradigm Dalek designs. They where not really given a chance (didn't help that the end of the story had them exterminate the old Daleks).

Ironic that (according to the Brilliant Book at time) they where built because they wanted more Dalek props, then never really used.

I like the 13th Doctor's TARDIS interior. Lighting could be improved, and did look a bit Superman/Krpyton style, however still a good design!

I've made similar comments previously too - also means that there's people to say that bad ideas are bad ideas, rather than an all powerful figure making all the decisions!

Started watching the new series of Channel 4's Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins - where they do SAS training - definitely an improvement on previous series.

Also still going through FBI Most Wanted (currently at fourth series) and FBI International (currently at start of third series). 😊

I remember the Strange Tales line, although my local comic shop didn't stock them for some reason.

I remember it was an early attempt by Marvel to do non-code approved titles, but changed their mind and decided to get Comic Code approval anyway!

Of all the Image books, Shadowhawk was definitely my favourite. Including the early initial mini series.

Valentino's Image stuff in mid to late 90s (just before he became publisher) is also great, and often underrated and forgotten about! 😊

A few of them this time round where their claims/bragging doesn't match up with their actual history or profile.

Previous years they felt more well intentioned, this year it feels more like typical LinkedIn cringe.
