Yes, it is fascinating trying to have a conversation about the differences and how many people will argue (vehemently) that the silent protestors received the treatment they deserved for who they support, but the noisy protestors outside hotels have legitimate concerns and they are not rioting.

Two actors portraying priests, including the eponymous priest, in the comedy TV series 'Father Ted' saying "That would be an Ecumenical matter!"

Unless they are on theology when it will say:

But as DW fans will know, at the time they were not seen by many people at all!

Surely there is also the 'o-ring risk', that something that does not make it into the summary because it is 'small', is actually vital. Consequently its absence from that summary undermines a proper understanding of the points being made.

Not me, my wife. Despite what she says she does have a magic touch. She has 6 orchids on the go at the moment. Not bad in a 2-bedroom flat in Aberdeen. In the previous house we had 31 varieties of chilli growing, but unfortunately could not stem the aphid tide without using pesticides that would

Yes, I remember reading an MA dissertation available from a US institution online all about 'Fort Arlat' in Brittany when in fact they were writing about the place actually called Fort La Latte. It was named wrongly tens, maybe hundreds of times in the dissertation.

Maybe that is a skill that will never be needed again on the screen, but I think this bridge from theatre into televised drama is something worth acknowledging even if it endured for only a couple of decades.

However, I do think it illustrates a skill in TV drama which is perhaps lost now. TV of the time seemed to owe a lot to theatre and in productions like this, you very much see it. Yet, it is handled very deftly to give the sense of a world 'out there' far greater than could be portrayed on camera.

Do we have to project this image on to staves to see what the message is, rather like in 'Close Encounters'?

I actually heard it on the radio (Original Gold) at the weekend.

12 years ago I went there for a job interview and while there went in the college's garden shop and bought a chilli plant. I am happy to say that, even though we have relocated to Aberdeen, this summer it is still producing huge chillis. I can certainly recommend Writtle's shop.

I had no idea he was planning a come-back after all this time!

them. I guess, though, if in the 1800s there had been huge multinational corporations (the East India Company?) that could have made large profits out of air guns, then they would have been introduced universally.

The Austrian Army issued them at the end of the 18th Century but by 1800 had withdrawn them and they were never subsequently used in battle, despite their greater efficiency. It was because they were seen as "assassins' weapons" so not honourable for soldiers to use and the world turned its back on

In addition, people seem to forget that every new technology is not always adopted. I have long been fascinated why air guns invented in the 16th Century which were silent, smokeless and had magazines, were not used in place of noisy, smoky muskets which needed reloading after every shot.

Now having flashbacks of Bruce Forsyth advertising Stork Margarine in the 1970s.

The two elements which strike me from this painting are the reflected light on the table and distortion of the image outside with the lower window panes. So well observed.

A winged hand, though probably with seven fingers, certainly is the most likely outcome of a prompt to AI on this issue.

Cover of the 1999 release, CD-ROM case for 'Shogun Total War' computer game.

As long as they restored the unfolding map, the original sound effects, all the units and the Portuguese and Dutch ambassadors coming into your court to speak with you.

I am trying to remember if it was in one of the Planet of the Apes movies or the TV series in which an ape archaeologist digs up someone buried with a pacemaker and false teeth.

characters in the original book. Was there anyone among Emily Brontë's characters that you felt were 'warm and likable' or you cared about, rather than simply witnessed?

The quote is from:

Is it just me, but am I the only one who feels a reviewer's comment that the take on the characters in Emerald Fennell's new 'Wuthering Heights' is characters is 'sufficiently “cold and unlikable” that engagement with their fates is made difficult.' accurately sums up how we feel about the

make no comment on, even if they believe that the statement is wrong. I have encountered some who are very upset at any commentary. They might as well simply have a blog or website for that.

On top of that I guess I misunderstood social media from the outset. I believed back in 2011 when I first went on to Twitter, that it was about interaction and it has taken many years for me to recognise that some people instead think it is for making declarations that they expect people to read but

Yes, of course. I am very proud of my anniversary. You have to understand that there are a lot of ASC people on here and we find it challenging to simply scroll past a statement if it does not apply in every case. There is literally a physical urge to put in the 'but ...'

True. More than once I have, though, encountered people driving on the pavement (in London). I guess we are in a world where the sense of personal entitlement is reaching its height.

Does it now have a consciousness of self?

We had the swimming one and I never understood what the man on the front was holding in his left hand as he swam.

But also we are wired not to give up trying, no matter the odds.
