It's all meep meep bang bang, how could anything go wrong? Scholarly emo.
The key flaw in the Dune movies is that they don't finish with excessive spice exposure causing the key players to evolve into the Thundercats.

"Well yes Geoffrey I realise that the year of the four Emperors was a big of a mess for the Roman Empire, but at least they didn't have to cope with Thomas Hardy writing a novel about it so swings and blood soaked roundabouts eh?"

A fish finger baguette with nacho cheese flavoured corn snacks and a generous glass of white wine is very much the Sunday supper of champions.

Ian Cann's review of The Silent Patient
4/5: Well, this was a proper 107mph thrill ride, proper wham, bam whoosh stuff like a rhino on roller-skates. Thrills, spills and twisty business right to the end, different to The Maidens, but a cork...

My most recent personal development is discovering the delightful decadence of having a cup of tea in one's hotel room first thing of a morning before setting out for breakfast and facing the day.

Watched a spot more of Edge of Darkness just now and you think John Craven's Newsround would've taken more interest in what had happened to his niece. Also Bob Peck must've have had to walk round most of London.

Honestly, my favourite viewing right now, the first two Mummy pictures, Dempsey & Makepiece, Hetty Wainthropp Investigates and Edge of Darkness. Lads, I think I might just be gay.

Couldn't decide on what else to watch so to follow out the episode of Hetty Wainthropp Investigates I viewed earlier, diving into episode one of Edge of Darkness on the iplayer. Luckily I think its been given a lovely new coat of paint :)

Football fact: Holland's A team used to have a horse as a mascot. Every morning the players would have their eggs benedict with the horse in the dining room with them. It wouldn't be eggs benedict without Holland A's horse.
