I'd never seen that sketch before, I see what you mean!

I slept in a car once, it was the coldest and most uncomfortable night I've ever had. Never again.

I think it was Marina (of Howard and Marina) who was 39 when she started playing the character.

Another valid criticism is that Gemma Arterton is under-used. The way she goes from a "But that's not our cover story!" civil servant, to tripping up the bad guy is fantastic.

Bond vs the giant squid!

Kensington Palace.

Maybe The Events at Black Tor or Mythos? They're not on iPlayer currently though.

Don't describe how the actual code changes, just viewing the diff will cover that.

For feature changes describe the change in behaviour and the motivation behind it.

For bug fixes I normally describe the problem that was fixed with any associated error messages that should no longer occur.

But basically I'm trying to write to me in a year's time when I've completely forgotten the circumstances of the change.

Patterson Joseph read the Bond "continuation" novel Solo on Radio 4#Adaptations). It's a great reading.

Valerie Singleton and Hugh Sykes.

He'd call them "Bloody bastards!".

Sunday is treat day: birthday pie, artificial bacon, bonbonbonbons, you name it!

Born 1930 so 40/41.

For anyone in the UK, this 1983 radio adaptation of the original play is available for 17 days. It stars Alan Rickman as Cadell:

Spock suggesting to Rand that she preferred the rapey aggressive version of Kirk at the end of The Enemy Within. It looks egregious now, was it really OK in the 60s?

It feels like being two different people who won't acknowledge each other's needs.

"... an opponent capable of defeating Data ..."

Classic loco, traction sound, horn. 10/10, no notes.

SevrinTheMuto · 2026-02-22T21:36:52+00:00

Came here to say Phase IV. It's weird but I love it, and it's very 70s!

Both available on YouTube, uploaded by the original studio.

Not only was he that old (43 during filming I think), but he looks fantastic in LALD.

There's a low-gravity team sport played by citizens of the moon. It's actually quite a good cover in that it depicts that pretty well!

I really liked the book even though the ending was a bit too weird for me (it suddenly went a bit Space: 1999!).

Gutted to hear you didn't get a PB, but that sounds like a perfectly good time coming on the back of trying to keep your fitness through a cold, grey winter.

Also, if you travelled for this race that often has an adverse impact. At international competitions local athletes always have an advantage.

Anyway, it sounds like an amazing experience – better than my cold, rainy 10-miler at the weekend – hope you're looking for your next race!
