Do not listen to a podcast about Night of the Living Dead to help you sleep: you’ll have nightmares about zombies

If there’s a good skewering of pomposity, I’m up for it!

I got to see a fun cross section because of my various evening jobs as college/faculty staff. It’s amazing how badly some people treat the staff: I can’t believe the fellows weren’t eating food primarily composed from spit and bogeys at most meals

You’ll be particularly angry at Rory. The way she repeatedly screws Lane over is unconscionable

That looks incredible! Excellent work

Sounds very delicious! Well done you

That looks delicious! I’m seriously tempted to make curry tomorrow: we’ve had a lot of Chinese-adjacent food over the last few days, and Dr Rice is currently steaming the rice and veggies for another similar repast.

My friend Sascha is a professional musician and he's lost a viola bow on the way to Heathrow. Please signal boost to help him get it back.

Lost viola bow on the way from Honor Oak Station to Heathrow Terminal 2. The bow slid from its bow case somewhere along the way, possibly on the train. TFL contacted already.
It weighs 68.2 grams and has got a stamped DODD next to the frog. If any info on this, please pm me.

What you see here in the children’s father, Bandit, is the culmination of sin. A father whose very name evokes crime, the criminal of criminals. Bluey, the color of sorrow. Bingo, lust for games of chance. Mother Chilli, who works part time at an airport in which planes “soar into the heavens”, thi-
