Yes! Quite possibly the OG! Though I feel like I know it from another one too? Possibly where someone threatens to defenestrate someone else.

I just used the word defenestrate and had to explain it's meaning and why I know it. I know it because It was in a play. I can't remember which one. Any ideas?

Have been meaning to do a bit of a thread for a while on BSky tools / options for #scriptsky. Would be great if people chimed in with other things they've found handy.

Yeah. I reckon for mine it seriously dropped off somewhere between 4 and 6. But it creeps back sometimes when they're overwhelmed / stressed.

Feeling very sorry for myself - came off my bicycle yesterday because of a diesel spill covering the road. Can't move much. Forced downtime not my forte. (I am better at resting when I've planned it). Feeling quite sad, a bit cross, very sore. Pls send cute and funny things. Does that work here?
