I've just seen a car with the numberplate 4 LOS. This pleases me. I'm hoping it's not because those are the owner's initials. I'm hoping it's because it's their fourth car, and they know loS is Klingon for βfour"

30 years on, and Jacqueline Natla describing the tomb of Qualopec as "unfound" still grinds my gears. "Lost", love. The word you want is "lost". I should probably let it go.

I hope Russel T Davies's Dr Who Christmas special kills the show. Temporarily. I hope it stays off air for about 30 years. Then someone writes a triumphant return in 2055. And the show runs 8 years from then, and does a 100th anniversary special. That writer is about 16 years old already...

If ICE murdering a white male gun owner, in broad daylight, on video is the last straw that stirs Americans to action... that's fucked up. And if it's NOT... I don't even know a phrase for what that is.

The world is learning. When I was a kids, the bad guys were ze Germans. Then da Ruskies. Then the Arabs. Now in media, it's starting to coalesce around bad guys = rich people. Which is (a) more like real life and (b) doesn't require racism.

Saw a trailer for Avengers :Doomsday today that actually made me less likely to watch it. The number of characters they're shoehorning in means it's going to have to be either 6 hours long or run at 240 fps just to get everyone in.

... will be KBOs. But no. The options were Uranus, Neptune, Mercury & Saturn. Mercury was apparently discovered in 1500BC, and Saturn - the 5th or sixth brightest object in the sky - was discovered in 1610. I remonstrated to no avail. Loving the book.

I just read p152 of "I'm a joke etc". I was at a PTA quiz night earlier this year. One round was "put 4 things in order". One question was "when planets were discovered". Ooh, I thought, this will be interesting - only 2 actual planets were discovered, so at least 2 options...

I recently had cause to phone my mobile. I was startled to hear my own voice asking me to leave a message, because I realised that I recorded that message in May 1999 and have never changed it. Sure as hell can't change it now.

I am unreasonably annoyed that every headline about Felix Baumgartners death says it was is a "paraglider" accident. Then mentions the engine. It's just sloppy and wrong. Google "Gell-Mann amnesia"
