When someone tells you their fave Xmas song is I'll Be Home For Christmas sing "I'll be home for Christmas! Oh I can't wait to see those faces!" really loudly. Trust me, they'll love it #ChrisRea

Here’s the leader of one of our main political parties calling for the deportation of women (included in ‘people’) based on some nonexistent misogynist classification of their ‘cultures’ in the name of protecting other women. What’s not valid as serious political messaging is this nonsense.

MS Word now puts comments over on the far right of the screen so you need to reduce the screen size to about 60% to see text and comments at the same time, and my eyes, etc etc. God life was better when I just had to remember the combo for Mortal Kombat finishing moves

A good question. I favour its complete reform, but at least to make it function as part of a democracy we need: 1. Term limits (I suggest 5 years, renewable once) 2. Members appointed by independent body, not PM 3. Cap on total number of members 4. Stop giving them silly titles, it’s embarrassing

Dr Samuel Johnson's reaction to new EU food regulations

So I successfully entertained a group of four teenagers in my first time GM'ing a RPG. I played an OSR game called Black Sword Hack, and the party successfully defeat the mad alchemist Filcolas Namel and his twisted monstrosities. I was extremely anxious, but everything went well. #rpg #art #osr

Ishmael's mum to Ishmael: I'll "Call me Ishmael. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the...

Been inspired by this quote from Elbert Hubbard to be more forthright with my opinions. So here goes. Hot Rod was right to get involved in the fight between Prime and Megatron.

In GoldenEye, at the end of the scene when Bond meets Wade for the first time, and they have a merry little disagreement but then make friends over Wade's tattoo, Wade says "Hey Bond, do any gardening?" I have never understood this line. Is it a gentle mock? Do Americans mock Brits for gardening?
