I liked much of "Welcome to Derry" but the final 1-2 episodes had too much "get x, take it to y, insert it in z, eat v, find p" stuff that involved a lot of running and shooting, losing my interest quite a bit. Still, enjoyed it over all and recommend if you're into "It"

I've had a cough for 3-4 weeks, I was almost rid of it but my plane ride seems to have made it 10X worse, whereby it's waking me regularly at night. Go away please, cough.
Seems to be common in the UK at the moment though, I hear a lot of people coughing.

I just saw two real women smiling at a spread sheet. I thought that was only a fantasy of tech/business adverts. Picture for illustrative purposes.

I'm at an all inclusive hotel (I know) in Morocco and a woman is calling her various friends/family saying (drunkenly) "I'm not a bad person!"
What did she do...?

Managed to burst the 12kg slam ball at the gym, slamming it like Hercules.
That means I've beaten exercise now and don't need to do it again, right?
