Bald opponent of oppression and weak-limbed ancient loon. Doesn’t believe all politicians are inherently corrupt because look at the USA to see where that assumption gets you.

Poor people. What a shame. To fall so far and find nothing but more depth where they expected to meet the bottom.

The evacuation of RAF Fairford was 1. Proof that the US armed forces have a testosterone deficiency 2. Proof that the US armed forces still have no idea about asymmetric warfare 3. Proof that the US armed forces have expensive aircraft and no bombs for them 4. An accident ?

In his mind everything is background to him. Even the people leading him round by the nose and making sure he defiles his office are, to him, just some smart guys with ideas I could support. His foreground is money and gold doodads and the memory of sex acts.

I think not. Recently the fash fashion has been for surprise sneak demos because there are more people of good will than enthusiasts for avowed racists or unconvincing, “I’m only saying what everyone thinks.” grifters.

Judge Dredd’s school visit still my favourite. “Yes, Melony, I’ve killed many, many people. Over half a billion, in fact.” The children’s day didn’t get any better from there on in.

At any point in discussion of the Trinity you can get away with the Mot de Montoya:
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means 
…says Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride. And he is a Wizard grade swordsman so he must know what he’s talking about.

Weapon is a 1989 sci-fi novel written by Robert Mason in which the protagonist is a perversely benign AI that learns by receiving disagreeable feedback. Benign in the sense that it only murders the bad guys.

Another of my hobby horses is Buchan on Race and Empire and how a man aspiring to be decent and kind (having read Memory-Hold-The-Door) could be so determined to see Empire as a Force for Good to the Poor Foreigners and yet also write Prester John (Bad People can Corrupt the Imperial Burden)

If Grant had a failing it was not really paying attention to what the enemy was doing because he knew what he wanted to do. He nearly let the garrison at Fort Donelson stage a surprise escape and got punched first at Shiloh. But in both cases he just got on with his own ideas anyway!

Who let the Ripper out?
Rupert Giles, played by Anthony Stuart Head, is talking to Principal Snyder played by Armin Shimerman about the education of his protégée Buffy Summers, and without seriously changing expression or attitude suddenly opens up the possibility of an early introduction to a sturdy chair in a remote shack with a certain amount of ropes, pliers, clamps and caustic liquids.

Neil Gaiman wrote a short “Problem with Susan” story which I didn’t find very satisfying. But then it does seem rather like Narnia is just one story to eternity and unlikely to be an exclusive route. The Wood Between the Worlds is implied to be infinite, after all.

His Holiness welcomed the Rutan Ambassador at the start of the church’s attempt to bring it closer to the Sontarans in the vain hope they wouldn’t just start murdering each other over the peace conference table .
Tom Baker as Doctor Who discusses interstellar relations with a Rutan (a shapeshifting alien race looking just like the Pope’s orb) who wanted to invade Earth and use it as a staging point in the ceaseless war against the Sontarans. It doesn’t end well for Rutania.

I gotcha sumpn else right here. It’s even a flying clog…
A Blohm and Voss 138 flying boat with a coil to sweep magnetic mines and hopefully remove magnetic patches from gurt big ships.
It is a remarkably ugly three engine aircraft with a stumpy fuselage and two booms for a tail. At the time of the photo it is dangling over a quayside from a crane that seems totally inadequate for its weight.
