Ooh, tricky bit of work, that. I hope there was one guy who everyone knew was the guy for this, and he spent his whole day happily immersed in the problem.

I love how Greg is so peeved about Alex picking that story, and then when the band laughs, he remembers how brilliant it is after all.
No wonder Alex admires him for it!

I've never tried making a puzzle like this. Not sure if I've done it right πŸ™‚

Hold up - Bovril with lemon? I'm familiar with Bovril with ground pepper, but lemon? Interesting.

I'd also assume that any container will be a strong 'maybe' on getting it returned afterwards. In the chaos.

I'd definitely try. I'm going to.

SURELY they won't have put out the request without ensuring the venue will allow people to bring water inside. Right?
Right? :D

Definitely one of the more normal requests from the Horne Section. Sure.

I believe we'll have justice for Brendan. Brendan is a good dog who was trying to warn his lovely human.

Hey, that would have been enough to initiate a lifelong friendship back when you were 4. Not your fault they changed the game.

People say Professor Indiana Jones was a bad teacher but I think he was incredibly dedicated to his educational institution.
He went all the way to Egypt just to get to the staff room!

I hope you can find pride in the skill and staying power it takes. Not many could point at such a body of work.

Photo of Mark Watson, cruelly ambushed on his way to a gig in Bristol. He's smiling, looking at the camera, wearing an orange tee and a red-and-green jacket.

Have you heard that wild story about the man turned on by exaggeration?
It grows in the telling.

Something something neoplatonistic evidence of beauty being close to truth something something.

The Ancient Greeks would have been right there with you. Probably.
