What a fucking oaf.

It's Magna Carta, not the Magna Carta!

I find it baffling how few people have a problem with voluntary amateurs judging criminal cases.

An MP is speaking on the Courts Bill and she just pronounced the word chasm as if it was pronounced the same way as Chad.

Supposed to be writing about the parliamentary logjam and hereditary peers but instead am writing the outline for a Candela Obscura scenario involving a post-war convalescent home, frozen wastes and an abandoned cargo ship with a stranded god on it. Plus blimps.

That's one of the reasons I picked it as an example.

They said this during the Thirty Years War. Spoiler alert: he didn't arrive soon.

I did this recently and totally forgot that James Earl Jones pops up randomly (among other things).

The opening sequence of Brothers where Data easily takes control of the ship and escapes is one of my favourite in the whole series.

Data, sat in a chair on the bridge of the Enterprise, working at a console

Holy fuck. Do the chairs on the bridge slide out from underneath the console. How the hell have I never noticed before?

It's interesting that Picard doesn't recognise his own nephew.

God, my mum must have come to hate this fucking theme tune the number of times she would have had to hear it.

TNG is on, Rupert is making biscuits in my lap and I'm eating ice cream. Life is good.

Spurs are only a point ahead of Forest and West Ham. I don't see them going down, but it looks a lot less unlikely after tonight.

It needs at least one scene to show they were already that way inclined before he sees the witches. That's the only way the sudden switch from loyal soldier to usurper makes sense.

I like Macbeth and I've seen it loads. But it always feels so jarring how he has one bad trip and suddenly decides to commit treason and murder. Same for Lady Macbeth. One letter about a fortune teller and she immediately thinks, "I need to commit regicide".

Correction: It was 2008, because I remember Bush was here for a state visit.

At the Taskmaster experience, I got the potato in the hole first time, like a competent version of Joe Wilkinson.

If you imagine that Key and Peele sketch involving the President and how he greets black people versus greeting white people, except with Andrew the difference was between talking to 22 year old women and 22 year old men.

I once called Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor a sex pest within earshot of him. It was in 2009, I think.

Leaving aside the lie in the quote, it always frustrated me that a migrant's value is always about what job they do. You could do volunteer work with DV survivors and coach a kids football team, but unless we like your job, you aren't of value to society. Fucking have a word with yourself.

Now I want to be in the woods with a Moomin cup.

Wolves obviously cannot survive. But if Wolves survived and Spurs go down that would objectively be the funniest thing that has ever happened.

It foggy.

An Employment Tribunal case with a preliminary hearing listed for June 2027. That's a serious backlog.

It's the thirtieth anniversary of Star Trek: First Contact this year and I'm praying for a cinema re release that will never come.

There's an interesting thing I've never noticed. There are several times when you'd expect Data to have a line, but instead he just shakes his head or gives a look (like when he tells Riker Hanson is dead by just shaking his head). Interesting that Mr Autism is the master of non-verbal communication

I'm at a Best of Both Worlds level of stress and it's almost epic cliffhanger music time, as we are just about to get the Picard is Borg reveal.

Because she wants to be Prime Minister?
