I hope they stick the landing. I… wasn’t overly keen on the previous season. But I’d still like to see how everything turns out.

It was – is – a really clever game in how it balances everything. Whacking the pause mode in was genius too, giving you a breather from all the frantic action.

It would have been interesting. Flip 30 or so Tory seats to Lib/Lab and you have a sort of workable not-Tory govt in 2015. But god knows how it would have worked when the SNP avoided voting on English matters.

Yeah, what with all the huge areas of policy overlap, god knows how the Greens, Libs, Labour and maybe some of the nats could work together, right?



Hang on.

(But that “coalition of chaos” line may well stick again.)

To add: with *this* particular type of property, though, I always just find it sad. Some degree of badness happened there.

I get a little bit sucked into ‘Spotted on Rightmove’ on Reddit, and it’s quite something to see what agents used to write. Also, what they’re allowing to go through these days from GenAI, along with the entertainingly terrible photo edits. (Blue skies inside!)

Congratulations! I hope you have many more happy years together. (Er, the hubby thing. But also this motley crew as well, I suppose! :D )

As a writer, I’d say the hard and fast rule is… whatever the style guide says. :D

Number two reminds me of all those entry level (even intern) job ads demanding several years of experience. It was hard to think things could get worse, but here we are. People are in for a rude awakening regarding AI across the board. The money men just don’t realise yet.

It’ll be interesting to see whether Android 16 gives Apple a push with this kind of thing. Probably not, alas.

Keep an eye out on Stuff. I’ll be refreshing our roundup on these before the holidays. Although I’ll not be covering the high-end handhelds. (The priciest is around £150. But most are around £60.)

I thought he’d had enough of being away from his family and so the show minimised his appearances for S06 accordingly. I didn’t recall how much he was in the last series, although I thought he was more a somewhat regular than full cast member. I do remember him in the bus though.

I really liked it at the time. I’ve not watched it in years. Even without the Whedon thing, I’d be wary. But with it, it can stay in the past with my memories. Same with Angel. (Not sure about Firefly, although I imagine a rewatch of that also isn’t likely to happen either.)

ASH was done, wasn’t he? Although now the story handled it was shite. Although not nearly as bad as what Whedon did to Charisma Carpenter over on Angel.
