10! I currently have no kitchen, just a room with 4 walls and an old sink (3 week kitchen transformation in progress), so anything that has real veggies, good protein and is hot, is a healthy winner.

As a self-confessed cheapskate, I'm mostly happy with the iPhone SE. I don't need anything fancy rattling around in my handbag. A smaller, lighter phone is definitely preferred.

What have you got against the camera? I love having a camera, not that I do selfies or take photos of people, but it's really useful for sending various bits of info to other people.

Ah Nigel, the Clacton Claxon (or other words beginning with C).

A few days ago I learned you can skip the AI summary feature in Google by adding "-AI" to your search. I love it!
Eva (@evab.bsky.social) reply parent
It needs to offer a verb bootcamp, where you can choose to get drilled on conjugations, over and over, should you choose. That's the practise session I want anyway. Old fashioned, not AI.
Eva (@evab.bsky.social) reply parent
I bet you'll still become a better Spanish speaker before I do on it. I find verb conjugations so hard!

Nice! This was my favourite show when I was about 7. They had the best stuff. Sadly my snoopy wristwatch was incapable of transmuting anything. Nor any of my mum's bangles. I spent way too long with the Ulysses 31 theme in my head after you posted it up yesterday. Hong Kong Phooey for the triple?

I wish you all the luck in the world Theo, even though you're definitely not too old for office life. You should be in your prime now! You've got brains AND wisdom through experience. Plus people in their 50s are probably more likely to stay loyal to the company they're working for ⏱️.

Found out last night after digging around that the rights to Ulysses 31 have been returned to their creators under French law because Wildbrain, who bought the rights with DIC, did nothing with it for 20yrs except prevent anyone from using it. And who’s to blame for them losing it? Me. LMFAO

Hmmm, if there are too many British accents, they may have trouble distinguishing who the bad guy is. Just make sure that character is wearing a cravat, at least in their opening scenes. They'll be sure to get it then. 🤞

I liked Resident Alien and am hoping there will be more released to Netflix. You have more of those to watch too, if you enjoy it.

Depends if she has already fallen asleep on my lap when I'm watching a film. Lap is her favourite bed. Morning routine is where the nagging happens. I hoped for a (birthday) lie-in today, but she walked across my bladder then nuzzled right in my ear to make sure I was awake on time for her meal.

Of course, future Cordelia Cupp adventures are cancelled by Netflix, because they cancel ALMOST EVERYTHING that I enjoy. Do give The Residence a go, if you haven't already.

@thespaceshipper.com In case I've missed it, have you done any posts on the Andor wardrobe department? I was told off during almost every episode of season 2 for saying how much I loved the style ("yes, you mentioned that last week!"). Mon Mothma is truly the most elegant woman in the galaxy.

Love him. I think he's a great actor and was lucky enough to see him act IRL in the stage production Mad House, with David Harbour a few years back. A lot of people in the audience were there for David. I was too, but more than that, for Bill.

Tough job ahead on both counts. This is why I think they're exhausting all the other options so voters get the message that there's no other real choices, no matter what Reform might promise.
Eva (@evab.bsky.social) reply parent
Maybe undo some more then. And if that works, they need to say loudly that it has and that is why they're able to u-turn on these punishing reforms.
Eva (@evab.bsky.social) reply parent
At some point soon, surely the answer will be to undo some of the Brexit mess. They've tried reducing their benefits outgoings and they'll try taxing the working population harder next, which will also go down like a lead balloon. Address what causes the continuing, massive Treasury deficit, please.
Eva (@evab.bsky.social) reply parent
How does this tie up with the recent news that a majority of people thought Brexit didn't go well, and that they want closer ties with the EU?

I'm not usually a fan of fight scenes, but Colin Firth's in Kingsman blew me away. I watched them on repeat when I got the DVD, til my brain was fried. But now I question, was it the action, or was it just the power of Free Bird? 🤔

I would have loved to see a second season of The Acolyte, even if they just wrapped it up neatly. It's been left like a hanging thread and this will probably put off future audiences from even starting it, which is a shame for everyone involved in the show.
