Today it came to a head. My partner and I argued about the plot of Superman IV. Gene Hackman was mentioned, and rash predictions were made.
Please everyone, this is a season of peace. Let's leave it alone now.

Someone please tell me this stopped a long time ago!
Just today, I was reminded of the old box grading system used for pay reviews of civil servants, government workers, and NHS staff, among others. Mostly, my friend's white hot anger at being told his performance grade was capped at his boss's performance. Not a hint of shame about the pyramid.

Every time I stop at Elsenham, I think perhaps I've accidentally slipped onto the train line of fictional places.
I want to do a complete journey of that branch one day.
