If I ever decide to change jobs, I want to spend my days chainsawing the heads off rabid attack dogs for the police.

If you didn't die protecting our national anthem, then you're not staunch enough IMO.

When I was at school there were rumours that a group of boys played "The Biscuit Game". I never did.

"People fought wars to protect our country and our national anthem"

Reminds me of a civilian who worked for the police with my dad about 20 years ago. His job was to look after the prisoners. Every 15 minutes, check on them in their cells. Bring them food, drinks and so on. One Inspector went down and chatted with him. After about 15 minutes the Inspector asked if he was going to check on the prisoners. "Aye, in a minute". The Inspector left, then came back a minute later and there the guy was, still sitting in the same position reading his newspaper. Long story short, they checked the CCTV and found that this guy hardly ever checked on them. Shift after shift, he sat reading his paper. He got sacked, too. Didn't put up any kind of defence though, he was just a lazy fucker.

Well, we had 7 good pages of football chat...

That race was interesting for a good 10 minutes. Just imagine is Verstappen had been able to complete Q3. Started pole and off into the distance. Dull as dishwater again. Alpine's owners being vocally unhappy with how shite their car is.

Certainly felt that way on Saturday morning.

Til the end of the season?

The wife bought me a box of Brewdog last week. Not usually my thing, but I thought I would give it a go. The most insane, intense and inexplicable beer shites I have ever had. All night awake with stomach cramps, all morning producing...stuff. The human body should not be producing these things. Never again.

This app isn't called Tik Tok, by any chance? "Honestly, it's OK. Just checking my sugar levels...."

A fair enough summary. Just a few wee points I'd pick up. On the Borg Queen, in season 2 she was played by Annie Wersching. But, she became too ill to reprise the role for season 3 (she died of cancer in January). So they gave Alice Krige the voice credit and used a body double; suggestions that this was due to her availability and not being all that willing to go through all the hours of make-up. On Janeway, officially they couldn't afford to bring her in for a cameo. But also, the actress who played her and Jeri Ryan loathe each other. Jeri Ryan apparently said after Voyager she would never work with Kate Mulgrew again.

It's always been the way. There was a scene in the Big Bang Theory when Wil Wheaton talks about how seriously Star Wars fans take their stuff, and it was spot on.

We caught some of it when out visiting. Chuckles was doing weird stuff - they were bringing him stuff just to touch, then taking it back. Then he put on one glove. In the style of the commentators hushed tones, Scott said "And now here comes the royal oven mitt"

6 for Monday 6 for Tuesday

Yep - if they scrape together 5 seats that's about as much as I think they can realistically expect.

I read this as you having a bum operation.

Aye, aye. Blame the dog, as usual.

1. Star Trek 3. Kirk steals the Enterprise before blowing it up. 2. Deep Space Nine: Badda-Bing Badda-Bang 3. Star Trek Picard. Nicking a cloaking device. 4. Star Trek: Kirk nicking a cloaking device. 5. Deep Space Nine: nicking a bucket

Galaxy 4. Interesting story, I thought. The Doctor, Steven and Vicki are kidnapped by sexy psychopathic women and fed lies about an alien ship that has also crashed. Without going into the ins and outs of various escapes, captures, etc. - the ending was a bit unexpected. All along the Doctor and the Rill (the aliens) were saying that the psychos could leave the doomed planet on the Rill ship with them. In the end, they're left behind to die horribly in an inferno. Pleasing.

The Tories all night have been banging on about the "prediction" of 1000 seats lost. Think they're expecting to lose 800 or so, and if that shakes out they can say "it wasn't as bad as predicted"
