healthcare, recreational maths and sql, Elbow and Terry Pratchett, The Cure, OMD and Kylie of course.
I first read this as an observation of Whovians and started thinking about the Xmas specials and which is my favorite, then realised that I don't remember Horton seeing the Tardis.

Out of interest, do you need a defined sequence of events with an end position or do you interpret the sequence from the end position given?

I was in India years ago and rather liked the use of "for the needful" as a succinct request for assistance or general instruction. As someone who regularly interprets instructions differently to how they were intended I find it harder to have that response to "the needful".

Walking to town in my youth I saw "Darren loves Julie" written in chalk on the road.
A few days later I saw the the addition of "But Julie loves Terry, sorry Darren"

You've just reminded me of a great week or two of broadcasting by Triple J in Australia from Xmas over 15 years ago with Terry Psiakis and Ross Noble being tangentially anarchic and very entertaining. Definitions of "Borange" was just one part of the audience participation.

That discrepancy somehow doesn't matter for my US tax forms, though. Funny, that. 😒

I usually go from 6 to 3 when the derailleur stops working properly. Then spend ages trying to work out what's wrong, clean the chain, check the cables, clean the derailleur jockey wheels and check the levers. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It means my bike has a personality.

I cant help being reminded of the AIB scene in We Joined The Navy where they discuss the picture of a sailing boat on the wall.
Some just see a yacht, some identify the type of yacht while another suggests that the distaff side are preparing a repast of some kind. You have a narrative as well.

Thanks for that. I've just rewound from the Hootenanny and found and enjoyed it. This is the sort o thing the other place used to be good for in the past, someone would give a heads up about something on a TV or radio channel as a PSA and some of us would appreciate it.

I have Moode set up on a Raspberry Pi in my kitchen and the url for Classic FM's stream appears to be
media-ice.musicradio.com/ClassicFMMP3
which should play in a browser on your computer.

I went to see Clare and her band at the Junction in Cambridge and got a signed T shirt as a birthday present. I daren't wear it until I can fix the autograph somehow.
