Dean Stockwell was in Star Trek Enterprise. Quantum Leap reunion of sorts.

The wife had a meeting with someone she hadn't seen in a while, and they started off being complimentary about each other ( "You've lost weight, like your haircut..." ). And so on Today I saw a mate at work I hadn't seen in a couple of weeks. He started with: "I pulled a stomach muscle when sneezing. It's fucking agony, I can't even take a shit"

Chill out, man.

That is The Ultimate Computer, where Kirk argues with a different computer. I was watching Return of the Archons.

9 Tuesday

I remember going on a night out in Edinburgh when I was about 19. Got royally pished. Stayed up all night and got the 6am train back to Stirling. The train coming into the station was swaying and my stomach was feeling it. Got off the train, and walking across the bridge to the other platform, I spewed my guts up. All over the bridge. Luckily only me and my mate were there and I made a sharp exit.

I think there were wider issues in play, but yes, this was a clanger for the prosecution. A glove, soaked in blood for months, frozen and thawed...and OJ not taking his arthritis medication swelling his knuckles - it was never going to fit.

Trump's trial starts today. As far as I can see, the issue here isn't that he paid hush money to Stormy Daniels but that he tried to claim it as a business expense (and as such, lowered his tax bill). That's the criminal element here.

Another episode, another rip off from a past series. This time a DS9 episode is rehashed for no reason. Callum Keith Rennie is the only good thing about the show now.

7 Monday

Maybe the Mandela effect but I remember watching daily highlights every night at about 11.

I remember watching the nightly court highlights on BBC2. They showed the verdict live, about dinner time here. Lunchtime in the states. I remember my old man sleeping through it. When he woke up I told him the verdict. He, a polis at the time, was shocked. I remember him saying "But he killed them!"

Madlyn Rhue was Ricardo Montalban's love interest in the Star Trek episode Space Seed. They also played a married couple in Bonanza

Me too. I take bags of rubbish on the train and leave them for others to clean up.

Thinking about drivers who came from behind to win a title (as opposed to the current processions), the best example I can think of is Kimi Raikkonen in 2007. First half of the season, Alonso and Hamilton were streaking away with it. But Kimi was untouchable at the end. At one stage he was 30 points behind (10 for a win in those days). He was on the podium in each of the last 7 races (3 wins, 2 second places, 2 third places) and beat both the others by a single point in the last race of the season. Any other examples?

I think he binned himself. But agree, a sad loss.

Obvious and wilful ignorance is always a raw nerve.

Is @CarrbridgeSaintee oaksoft?

So...nothing original to say? Just reworked old tropes you read on Twitter from someone even more clueless than you? Standard Sophia.

Guess the episode! Original series. Kirk is arguing with a computer.

Talking to my mum today about my old primary school headteacher, who is now in a care home. Mum: "He had a beautiful wife, but spent years having an affair with the primary 4 teacher" Now, the assumption i had worked with for decades was that he was shagging the (gorgeous) primary 2 teacher. All my schoolpals the same. It was common knowledge. No, mum insisted (she worked at the school). Primary 4. I won't name her, but she was a bitter, horsey looking, nasty woman. She was in her 40s but looked in her 60s. Evil as a teacher. Probably ate babies and kicked puppies down mineshafts. Feels like my whole childhood was a lie. This guy called our class "The Unteachables". And now this.

Adam Richman Eats Britain is a joy. Chef about to cook rabbit and he looked very unhappy.

No, that is John Neville. Christopher Plummer was in Star Trek 6
