I was pleased to see this at the bottom of the BBC article.

Quote with a robot that isn’t from Star Wars or Transformers
The android from the 2015 series "Dark Matter." It looks like a brown haired, brown eyed woman with a tattoo like a barcode on her neck.

We were pretty much the same; we were together, and that wasn't going to change. The thing that inclined us toward marriage was that D (a US citizen) got into a postgrad programme in the US, and we knew the paperwork would be easier if we were married.

We designed our own rings.
My wedding ring; a rose gold band with a cabochon cut West Australian sapphire in the centre.

A meme from the Australian episode of the Simpsons. Against a rural background, the Prime Minister, naked, is floating in a tyre tube, raising a can of Fosters. It is captioned "Have a sook, ****"

Ever thus to tyrants.
An Elf on the Shelf figure is duct taped to a wall at the shoulders and groin. It has a face-hugger from Alien on its face, and at its feet is an egg with its top missing, as though the face hugger has exploded out of it. Ever thus to tyrants.

I am one of the people who doesn't believe this.

I'd really like to, of course. Talk about threatening a girl with a good time!

The Xit Place has put me on a time-out for posting this, so I'm posting it here out of spite.

Because he has cute little lemon coloured gloves, we almost named him after a trickster god. Turns out we'd have been right. This is Bertie, anyhow.

Bertolomew at other times.
Bertie, a spoodle puppy. He is mainly black, but has prominent white eyebrows, muttonchops, and paws.

Using an image, show a movie you are sure you have watched more than ten times.
The binary sunset Scene from Star Wars: A New Hope. The Lars homestead bunker is in the foreground, and the sands stretch far into the distance. In the foreground centre, Luke skywalker, back to the camera is watching the sunset. The white sun is high, the orange one low, as they head toward the horizon.

Birthday Dinner for D. Found a charming local spot.
A partially finished kitchen. A long island bench is set with two placemants and two tealights, and a bottle of wine on a silver salver. Behind it are two cupcakes with a Happy Birthday plaque on them, some presents wrapped in black and, in the background, a void where the fridge will go and some ovens, one of which holds a roast chicken. To the right is a splashback showing the Milky Way from the Southern Hemisphere, as well as some building detritus and a rangehood-in-progress.

This was in Monty Python's 'The Meaning of Life,' if that's any help.
All things dull and ugly, All creatures short and squat, All things rude and nasty, The Lord God made the lot. Each little snake that poisons, Each little wasp that stings, He made their brutish venom. He made their horrid wings. All things sick and cancerous, All evil great and small, All things foul and dangerous, The Lord God made them all. Each nasty little hornet, Each beastly little squid Who made the spikey urchin? Who made the sharks? He did! All things scabbed and ulcerous, All pox both great and small, Putrid, foul and gangrenous, The Lord God made them all. Amen.

Bathroom cabinetry. Can running water be far behind?
A bathroom wall, tiled in grey, white and blue vaguely art nouveau tiles in a 4-square pattern. A square-oval shaving cabinet and a duck-egg blue vanity with a white ceramic top sit in the middle of the wall. The floor is terrazzo tiles.

Slightly better pic:
A closer view of the stove splash back in the kitchen renovation; it's acrylic, printed with a view of the Southern Cross taken from Cairns. Below it you can see a partially covered induction stove on a wooden bench

Our kitchen splash backs are in. This picture doesn't do them justice, but they look banging!
A work in progress picture of our kitchen renovation. There is a large window on the right, under which is a splash back of the Venus and Mars in the night sky over Cairns. On the back wall is a splash back behind the stove, of a Southern Hemisphere view of the Southern Cross. The cabinetry under it is a blue-grey and the bench tops are covered to prevent damage. On the very left is a black oven.A box of tiles sits on the bare floor. on the

Bathroom tiling in progress:

The day when I can shower instead of sponge bathing draws inexorably closer.
A partially tiled bathroom. The back wall is waterproofed, so it's mint green, and has a high window running its full length. The non waterproofed walls are bare plaster. The walls tiles are a 4-tile art-nouveauish pattern in grey with highlights in white and duck egg blue. The floor is terrazzo, and is littered with tiling implements.

My splashbacks have been printed; they are drying ... I couldn't be happier with how they have turned out!
An acrylic splash-back printed with a view of the Emu in the Sky; the Milky Way seen from the Southern Hemisphere. It rises as a dark cluster of stars from the bottom left to the mid right, against thousands of stars in the night sky.
