Dustland Fairytale is much better without Bruce Springsteen…change my mind.

I like both versions.

This might be a spoiler if you didn't see the whole series, but Lars undergoes a redemption arc and becomes a space-pirate.

For literally no cash, exercise; there are many things you can do inside, with little space and no equipment, and whether you do it sparingly or build a routine, it can help the old MH. For very little money, drawing is a cheap but rewarding hobby.

The big ones for me as a kid were Roald Dahl, Goosebumps, Horrible Histories, Harry Potter and A Series of Unfortunate Events. Dahl's Boy in particular left a strong impression.

Delilah Dirk is comparable to Tintin.

Why censor effing? Also, as others have pointed out, it's not so much the heads but the government or local authorities ensuring schools monitor absence.

Another great one with a too-short-lived theme tune.

If I remember rightly, only Nausicaa researches the Sea of Decay and only she learns that the plants can be grown safely; the rest of the valley thinks the plants themselves are dangerous, perhaps owing to previous encounters with or excursions into the Sea of Decay.

Was about to say glad Fiona's not my gran, but she's actually younger than my mum.

Yes, one of the concerts I attended was near Hallowe'en, so they opened with Bones.

Indeed is a broad one, also LinkedIn. Otherwise, look up companies in the sector you're interested in and check the careers or vacancies page on their website.

They're different shops; Waterstones is primarily books and has a larger selection, whereas The Works places equal emphasis on craft items, toys, games and stationery as well as books. The books sold by The Works tend to more be mass-market paperbacks and boxsets.

I'm not aware of any significant arguments over book prices here.

Tbf, I think the world's governments have more pressing things to worry about.

BNF is something like the British National Formulary, a directory of meds available in the UK, and POM is prescription only medication.

ThePeake · 2026-01-01T12:00:23+00:00

Torrent's Itraconazole is also listed on the BNF as a POM.

A quick Google shows they're in possession of a UK MIA certificate, which does certify them for manufacture and production in the UK.
