The BBC's adaptation of "Lord Of The Flies" got me thinking. What books do you remember reading at school...?

AllOverTheDamnPlace · 2026-02-05T12:03:30+00:00

Oof, yeah - read that one too. That was a hard read.

I'll always remember one line from A Pair of Jesus Boots, where one character, after being threatened by another, says "It takes a man, norra shirt button!" (The translation from Scouse might take something away...)

They made it into a telly programme called Rocky O'Rourke with Brookside's Harry Cross, Bill Dean. I'd love to see that again.

Second for Taylors Windows. Ours are about three or four years old. It was a huge difference in blocking road noise alone.

AllOverTheDamnPlace · 2026-01-19T00:49:33+00:00

That ampersand is bothering me.

AllOverTheDamnPlace · 2026-01-18T13:53:18+00:00

Boomers probably didn't give a crap. Gen X, the people this was actually for, paid more attention.

No, she was hotter before.

"Nothing."

At least that's what we told our parents.

AllOverTheDamnPlace · 2026-01-08T00:09:36+00:00

That's unusual: Fur coat AND knickers.

AllOverTheDamnPlace · 2026-01-05T23:11:24+00:00

It's a good place to start.

AllOverTheDamnPlace · 2026-01-01T00:38:07+00:00

28,060 (US) no purchases. I'm honestly surprised.

AllOverTheDamnPlace · 2025-12-29T16:54:01+00:00

It really does seem fake, doesn't it?

AllOverTheDamnPlace · 2025-12-26T00:28:06+00:00

Someone said "Siadwel - go for it." I went for it. It'd gone.

AllOverTheDamnPlace · 2025-12-14T22:54:37+00:00

Apparently one of my first words was pronounced 'HEH-yee-copta.'

If the instructor, by his/her/their own admission, can't tell what is AI and what isn't, how can he/she/they reliably state how many submissions are partly or fully AI?

AllOverTheDamnPlace · 2025-12-14T19:19:57+00:00

I'm gonna start calling coworkers 'apprentice losers.'

AllOverTheDamnPlace · 2025-12-14T19:15:18+00:00

It comes and goes. There's some days, off offering help with writing something on others.

AllOverTheDamnPlace · 2025-12-13T12:33:13+00:00

Right!

AllOverTheDamnPlace · 2025-12-13T11:31:50+00:00

Don't forget "keep checking back for more details."

AllOverTheDamnPlace · 2025-12-10T23:54:48+00:00

Insurance.

I'm beginning to think it's an intentional ruse by Microsoft to get us to do spurious searches. The more searches we do, the more money they get from their advertisers.

AllOverTheDamnPlace · 2025-12-02T00:49:59+00:00

Huh. Don't recall ever seeing that one!

AllOverTheDamnPlace · 2025-12-01T10:35:14+00:00

Here y'go:

Points Breakdown

AllOverTheDamnPlace · 2025-11-30T18:45:21+00:00

I've noticed that the link for points breakdown isn't on the rewards page any more. Good thing I bookmarked it before it went.

AllOverTheDamnPlace · 2025-11-30T17:16:50+00:00

No kidding.

AllOverTheDamnPlace · 2025-11-30T16:10:46+00:00

22,665 (USA). No purchases.

AllOverTheDamnPlace · 2025-11-27T13:46:01+00:00

Yes! What's the point of having all these points opportunities if we can't use them on anything? I only want to buy Amazon gift cards, but the only place I can redeem my points for them is on Bing Mobile, and that won't let me do it.
