Don't ask me how, but I've somehow avoided it so far. I sincerely hope that remains the case - both parents being as ill as Mrs Lg is right now would be pretty disastrous.

First time in years that we haven't got around to getting it sorted, and both kids have had a week+ off school and Mrs Lg is currently bedbound to all intents and purposes. It might not necessarily be the NHS-destroyer that people are enjoying predicting, but it seems to be an absolute stinker.

I mean, I did do some Vines once if that counts for anything?

I mean, I think all this celebrity stunt casting is getting ridiculous but Martin Keown would probably make a pretty good Holly.

Original quoted post has gone missing, so here it is (from Moby Dick):

Swerve me? The path to my fixed purpose is laid with iron rails, whereon my soul is grooved to run.

Naturally, @davidsquires.bsky.social had it covered:

I know general fan opinion was that the second season dragged, especially with Damon stuck at Harrenhal, but those were actually some of my favourite bits.

Harrenhal is such a great location with a genuinely creepy history so all the Old Gods stuff (including a glimpse of Brynden Rivers!) was cool.

I recently watched both seasons of House of the Dragon and definitely enjoyed all of it. Really well-written characters played by good actors, some amazing visuals. Top stuff.

Whether it's Lando's shonky starts, some odd calls over driver priority mid-race, some general passivity in race strategy...they all feel like things that either wouldn't have happened in the first place or would've been ironed out at Red Bull.

Was Max being a massive tool when he said the stuff about the championship being over by now if he'd had the same pace advantage over the season? Absolutely.

Infuriatingly, he was also probably right.

Having not read Moby Dick, wasn't aware there was such an explicit rail link in the original book...
