Probably the funniest border security fail was when Croatia mined its border with Serbia in the late 1990s. Then in the early 2000s, the Danube flooded, and washed all the landmines into Croatian towns.

The two types of writers:

- I have created a cast of multilayered characters, and a deep, rich and storied setting. I have no idea what to do with any of it.

- I have created a weaving narrative of twists and turns, betrayals and intrigue. Each character can be summarised in one word.

Pretty confused by how TRON became a big-budget movie franchise. Was it a bit hit when it came out? No. Did it become a big hit on video/TV? Also no. Do people have fond nostalgic memories of it? Eh kinda but not really. Was it secretly great and critically acclaimed? No again
