  1. @worldofagwu Thank you. I hope you find it Quite Interesting .
  2. Lovely day. Going for walk on Downs. Expect hailstones.
  3. @problem_chimp I could sing you the Butlins Jubilee song if you like...
  4. @problem_chimp Those of us of a certain class and age know that the staff of Butlins are referred to as "Red Coats".
  5. @problem_chimp She is also appearing at a festival at Skegness Butlins, which would invite an obvious joke...
  6. @problem_chimp Lady with red jacket doing gig in Bath in December?
  7. But still: Picard say "This royal throne of kings" and Loki saying "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers".
  8. (All four histories = R2, H4.1, H4.2 and H5. Not H6.1 - H6.3. Or J or H8. The ones that make a story if you read them in the wrong order.)
  9. Speaking of Shakespeare (which we were) Aunty Beeb is doing all four histories, with Loki as Hal and Picard as John of Gaunt.
  10. "No" I replied "He's in a completely different superhero movie."
  11. "I assume it's the thong" replied his friend.
  12. Someone behind me in "Avengers" said "What is Thor holding onto while whizzing his hammer round his head."
  13. @Nickpheas Arguably.
  14. @Nickpheas But my second version, in which I was writing for an you were reading a non existent magazine was funnier.
  15. @Nickpheas As a matter of fact, it only exists on web, but is also being used to "power" the Post (formally "Evening Post)'s arts coverage.
  16. @Nickpheas L'esprit de l'escalier: "It has closed. What you are reading is a figment of our mutual imaginations."
