I do what I want.
[ETA: Since we're in the new days of a new place perhaps I should be less laconic. I have been arysteia on a million platforms for at least 22 years now. If you've ever known me anywhere else, yes it's me.]

A Levels (I think it's short for Advanced) are the highest school exams in the UK. So a final year student.

Hated just right. Even as a 7 year old I thought it was stupid. I remember being so disappointed in the theatre with my parents. So much slapstick, next to no Lois, second-rate villains. As an adult I appreciate Christopher Reeve's performance more (always 2 parts, now 3) but the rest's still awful.

Yes, of course, that makes more "sense". 🫡
KITT came out to New Zealand for the Christmas parade one year when I was a kid... stole the show from Santa. Peak 80s experience.

Michael Long was a cop, Garth Knight was the wicked wastrel son of a philanthropist. Michael was the son he *wished* he'd had. (Don't ask why I remember this.)

Not to be too earnest, but Devon, who was Garth's father, organised the facial reconstruction and rehabilitation, and modelled his new face on his son's.
