I do honestly think that Patricia Routledge would have made a great Dr Who.

Both versions of Rose? Bit of an odd choice.

The Japanese Mario 64 official strategy guide is an incredible thing. "Can we make little hand-made dioramas of all the levels?" "Sure, why the hell not."

Agricola has unpainted pieces, which is what I was thinking of. I have a friend whose preference is just whatever is the "unusual" colour in the game, so he will normally be unpainted, white or black.

She will always play red, unless she can be purple in any game. It's not very common and I would have said it was the least common before your comment. Now I'm thinking maybe "unpainted" is the rarest? Personally, if I'm not blue then I will constantly forget what colour I am.

I wonder how many other peoples' preference is to play red but only if purple isn't available? (this is my wife's stance).

It helped me when I visited a vineyard and the guy there explained how he was managing the younger plants. Prior to that, I hadn't understood the problem well enough to put the solution into practice.

Someone stole 6000 nectar points from me and Sainsbury's customer services suck. What a pointless waste of time.

When I worked unloading lorries at a supermarket, we once had a lorry arrive with only a single cage on it, in which was a single plastic crate, and in the crate was a single pack of vanilla pods.

Statue of King Richard, asking god for success before the Battle of Bosworth, being installed in our village today. Some may object to the valorisation of a child killer but I don’t mind seeing a monument to the futility of prayer from my window!

Smoked pork on a BBQ fork. The smoker continues to smoke in the background.

I really like cooking, but the reason I do as much possible is because my partner never cleans as they go along, so we end up eating in a disaster area with pots and pans everywhere and a heap of washing up which isn't relaxing.
