I still absolutely think that the English rugby team should learn how to morris dance properly and do it in response to the Haka against New Zealand.

If you've never heard it, you owe it to yourself to listen to BLEAK EXPECTATIONS, which has him in my favorite role of his, ever - Mister Gently Benevolent, the Evil Ex-Guardian and All Around Nasty Person - his scenery chewing in that show is legendary - and perfect!

THREAD. A while ago my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the worrying weeks dragged on my dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time & inhabiting art's most iconic scenes. What he produced (& how quickly) was phenomenal...

Clue I was given was that the colours on the mug match those on the book cover - you might think of words for the time between things (although perhaps not in English)
