Nahh, Cliff knows things.

Thankfully we're an Octonauts house.

Many years ago I bought a bootleg tape of a Neil Young gig. They'd filled the space at the end of the tape with a few tracks including 'Lullaby' by Low. It was some years before the internet had developed enough for me to google the lyrics and discover one of my all-time favourite bands.

Sounds an interesting topic! Will it be recorded/streamed/transcribed for those of us who can't make the event?

I hadn't forgotten because my delightful daughter has been singing the tune with various different words at intervals ever since I showed her the video, most recently yesterday.

They've been showing tantalizing trailers on Drama. It looks brilliant!

Any news on it being shown on mere mortal tv? Alibi stuff usually gets repeated on Drama or the traditional channels eventually, but given it's taken this long for Annika series 2 to make it to the BBC...

On a train earlier this year we were informed that train staff could be found in carriages F for Fabulous and L for Lovely.

I feel like the recent Chris Packham one might be better in that respect?

2 Passion 2 Christ

Radio adaptation? Ooh, I didn't know!
I was about to ask how it compares to the TV versions but it seems to have fallen into my basket already. Oops.

Goodness, I was just wondering a day or two ago if it was still there and here it is!

And it's a strong finish and a hooray!

Eek, thanks for the reminder - I'd bookmarked a couple of things and somehow failed to notice it was a time-limited offer!

He really is the best, isn't he?

PUPPY!

I always wondered if that was the inspiration for the Big Finish classic 'ish".

The Best Gorilla Joke of 1897 Gorilla: Did you hear about the gorilla who escaped from the zoo? Zookeeper: No. I did not. Gorilla: That is because I am a quiet gorilla. [Muffled sounds of gorilla violence]

Still the best gorilla joke 128 years later:

What got to me was when it said "Estimating age..." and then never told me its estimate. And now the data's deleted and I'll never know.

If you see this, post a DC comic cover you love

Your first two picks are basically Ben Aaronovitch's love letter to him, so I'd definitely give him a try! The Player of Games is a good place to start (and of course sounds like the 7th Doctor!), though Transit owes most to Consider Phlebas.

Iain M Banks fan, by any chance?

Given how much I enjoyed what you did in Sentinels with some historical material I _didn't_ like, I'm excited for this!

Sounds beautiful!

The updated state diagram (assuming I understand correctly) suggests a greater degree of play - making the puzzle and its world more interesting and satisfying for me, the player. Thanks for your service!

What perfect albums came out when you were 16?

That cover looks absolutely like the kind of thing I'd see in a charity shop and seize and treasure, and I mean that in the best way.

Aww. Ours went ahead, my daughter came home drenched and grinning on Monday.

Hey, I actually listened to that recently. Good stuff!

Boris Johnson's hero is the mayor who kept the beaches open in Jaws. That's fine by me The PM thinks Amity mayor Larry Vaughn is ‘the real hero of Jaws’. Maybe that’s why he’s emulating his ‘the beaches are open’ politics as coronavirus spreads around the world
