Did anyone else's school ban cans of fizzy drinks?
My secondary school did for about 2 years for some reason and it wasn't due to the drinks themselves as plastic and glass bottles were perfectly fine.
Never could quite figure the reason why.

I've had a former work colleague have a full on meltdown accusing me and my then partner of lying about the duration of our relationship (five years)because we didn't have an infant.
Nobody will tell a childfree person that they will regret their decision more than a parent who regrets their decision.

By amusing coincidence, Nightmare Fair was the book in the latest Dr Who Literature episode. I suspect you and Michael will eviserate the book far more than Jason.
If you're a big fan of the idea of season 23a, then you're in for a treat! The return of the Toymaker, an old producer, a trip to Blackpool and video games gone bad...what could possibly go wrong? Joe & @michaelmills.bsky.social play games!

Finished James Herbert's "The Fog," now I am changing genres and heading into biographical territory. As a big lover of Jazz, Swing, and Blues music, naturally I gravitated towards... the autobiography of Woody Guthrie, the "father of American Folk music."

Revisiting my old Livejournal posts from 2006 looking to check the date of a concert I attended at Birmingham's Symphony Hall, I noticed several things. 1. On the whole I was posting, on average, something every other day.

Thanks to various stops & starts today, I ended listening to Dan's comment about Adric about three times today.
Doctor Who Literature returns with some apocrypha: the May 1989 Target novelization of the unproduced "missing" episode The Nightmare Fair. @dhollingsworth.bsky.social makes his DWLit debut; @quarkmcmalus.bsky.social provides a dramatic reading and an editorial.

Random school days question, (and admittedly this could be bias through my experience at school). Why were lunchtime staff always women? Why were there never any 'dinnermen'? And why were all dinner ladies channelling the attitude of Nora Batty?
