Dr Who has just gone over a bad cliff. Just hit about the worst episode ever (12-6). Utter utter rubbish. Yes, Chibnell was one of the writers. Don’t ask me to describe it. It was shameful. I wanted the monsters to win and have done with it.

Wow, a very rare thing today. A puppy parade on a Poached Eggs level without either Classics or a new strategy. Hard to know what to make of it. One must surmise that this level improved without anyone noticing (OK, it improved back in 2012 but that was already dialled in before today). Not complaining.

Just when you think the clown car must already be full…

Keep thinking the plural of forum is fora but apparently either fora or forums will do. But the plural of sheep is most definitely sheeps as in “Leave the sheeps alone Twiggy!”

5 years ago today we picked up tiny Twiggy from the breeder for the first time. And it was only a month or so after that she befriended Kathy in the BP. Kathy always slipped her some crispy pig ears, we haven’t forgotten that kindness. I think I prefer that reality.

According to more than one poll I consulted, the greatest ever Welsh person is Aneurin Bevan. Probably not well known outside the UK, he was the founding father of the National Health service and other elements of the Welfare State in the late 1940s and thus has a profound effect on all our lives.

Polls on the greatest Scots person of all time…[Read more]

Glad to hear from you @catsnbirds. I think hiding in a booth in the BP already represents a departure from reality so you should be used to it.

Careful with being a fan of the Scots, DT’s mother was Scottish.

Level 2-12 is on the move at last. Crawled up from 146th to 135th. Painful.

But not as painful as someone on House of Games who went for 1970 as to when postage stamps were first invented. Ouch! Richard has to be incredibly tactful when faced with such incredible stupidity.

I think you might be @brianN.

Could have been worse. But not much worse. Just checking if I’m on the naughty list.

This whole Wales/Scotland/England thing must be hard to understand for folks across the pond. Surely we are all in the same place. It all fits into about half of Texas.

I don’t think your description of @hunnybunny is quite correct @brianN.

Welsh?

She’s a bit poorly – antibiotics and anti-inflammatories. Got to get a urine sample tomorrow if I can. That’s not going to be easy. She refuses to wee anywhere within about 100m of the house. I’ll be running down the street waving a Tupperware at her bottom. Nothing like a bit of toilet humour, eh @ixan57?

Went back to Tesco to collect my calendar after 3 more days. Still no ink, still no calendar. This is a printing company with no ink for 5 days. Words fail me.

Level 4-9 in Angry Birds has fallen – with the help of a 0-birder, I have got the position down from 116 to 50.  This just leaves one single level outside the top 100, namely 2-12. It doesn’t look difficult and I have no idea why over 12 years of effort, on and off, have failed to yield a half-decent score.

There’s just a group of 15 levels…[Read more]

What’s the catch?

A euphemism if I ever saw one @hunnybunny.
