  1. Tried watching the eclipse through a colander but it strained my eyes.
  2. Ferrari won the driver's title in 1979 then 2000 (21 years) They wonnthe constructors title in 1983 and 1999 (16 years) Currently 17 and 16 years since they won these titles, but unlike the Schumacher era there is no sign that they are about to become dominant.
  3. An aside. Every week we visit my mum. Every week she slips the kids a pound or two. On Saturday we went to Tesco in Alloa after visiting. My daughter put her couple of quid in the Marie Curie tin. When I asked why she just said "Grandpa" It got me. By the time I got home I was blubbing. She is 13, was 12 when cancer took him. They were very close.
  4. A Country Supper is a brutal oral sex act that happens only in women's prisons..
  5. I've found the quality of butcher meat has dropped everywhere. Used to be a clear difference in quality with supermarkets, but no longer. Campbells sausages in particular are dreadful now.
  6. Tories lost 178 seats in 1997. Tories lost 189 seats in 1945 Labour lost 235 seats in 1931 (from 287 to 52...ouch, just 2 years after the last election) Tories lost 246 seats in 1906 Funny thing is, these parties were all back in power fairly quickly after such big gubbings. 13-14 years out of power maximum.
  7. I asked ChatGPT to write an episode of discovery Mystery solved as to the writing standard!
  8. Larry vs Michael J Fox was my favourite.
  9. Glad Lewis was in the finale. "You are Richard's friend?" " Yes" "And you don't believe anyone could love him? " No, of course not. "
  10. Dinner takes place in the evenings. Tea is a drink.
  11. Free the Falkirk One from chancers.
  12. Dissertations for postgrads run from May to August. Back to work today to 6 emails from students. All six want to go to India for the entire month of June. Four need the month for their weddings. Can I give permission, for visa reasons? Long answers given. Short answer: no.
  13. Aye, and midnight is when the black cats howl and breakfast is served at four bells.
  14. I have an EpiPen. My friend gave it to me when he was dying, it seemed very important to him that I have it.
  15. Brilliant. A couple of times this season they have referred to the Seinfeld finale, and they are echoing it here.
  16. Saw the one in 1999. Looked at it through a welders mask. Best way to look at one.
  17. An old lecturer of mine constantly stole the paper towels from the biology labs, and took them home to use as bog roll. He was quite proud of that.
  18. Fortune of War by Patrick O'Brian. I have been working through the Aubrey-Maturin books but this was on a different level. Best book I have read in a couple of years.
  19. I was at school with a boy who called his lunch dinner. Weirdo.
