A couple stopping, having an argument, then walking on but about ten meters apart, both silently fuming, both wearing a pair of novelty shrek ears

I'm not a lawyer but I am a dude on the internet so I reckon I could probably give it a go, maybe even take a few points off Serena whilst I'm at it - what's your issue?

Everyone is going to say the photos one, but six (in the service station) is the creepiest (snd the best), the train station one is the nastiest, in that Sapphire & Steel are total dicks, and the animal rights one where McCallum has to act getting attacked by a floating pillow is the funniest

In honour of Richard O'Sullivan here is the Album Of The Tele-Stars I found in a Seville junkshop which devotes considerably more space to him than it does to the likes of spiderman or superman or Harrison Ford

Presumably because of some undiagnosed brain injury I have made the mistake of trying to visit the Edinburgh festival using British train infrastructure and it is going about as well as you would expect

What if I had been hiding behind a rock or a big pipe whilst a squat, mean-faced bad guy hunted for me? What if I had been doing a surgery on a great concert pianist's delicate hands?

90% of everything else so far: "you know this beloved IP! But what if it was cool? And by cool we mean specifically what people in Worthing in 1991 thought was cool, so everything will look like some knock off Jamie Hewlett, apart from when it has big old manga eyes"

Yeah I feel like Ripley would be at home here, it's extremely pretty and very swanky and there's a fair few people probably worth murdering

Was so surprised to meet another writer in Annecy (which features zero talks about writing, unless you count G*rvais and his cats thing) that I tried to help them network at a 'party', forgetting that I have no ability to network and don't even understand what networking is, terrible scenes etc

I hope all four films are very straight, dull biopics but one of them is a Monoid and it's never referenced by any of the other characters. Maybe the Monoid beatle is called Simon just to confuse things.

My take is that political voting does make us a bit more likely to get null points if our song is only average, cos we haven't got an automatic greece & cyprus/scandi/former Yugoslavia thing going on, but it doesn't affect us if we have a banger, and nobody is "voting against" us

Forgot the alt text. The alt text is "vintage photos of different types of people next to different types of dog, the last of which is exactly the kind of thing you'd find on a third tier britpop band album cover circa 1993"

A GCSE in "how to argue with that one really annoying development guy who is adamant that Arthur's character arc is over as soon as he gets in the sleigh and who also doesn't understand jokes of any type" would definitely be useful

Bonus tie-in with Boots' No7 beauty creams. Which can be the new favourite drink Tron Bond likes to order, why not.

His new catchphrase would now be "the name's Bond, Tron Bond. From the computer". You could do a nice bit of graphic design on the poster with the 'On' that is in both Bond and Tron

Didn't mean to type beloved twice there but I guess it just emphasises how beloved he is

Obvious solution to the But Bond Died problem: what if Bond is now also Tron from the computer and now he's played by beloved beloved character actor Jared Leto

I finally signed up to PLR two decades after first intending to do it and was worried that the payments would be enough to make me really regret being so slack but today has very much set my mind at rest

There used to be a buoy with some seaweed on it in the Thames near Vauxhall that looked a bit like Terry Nutkins and whenever I walked past it I would say "hello Terry Nutkins"

I assumed this was on as a Robert Redford tribute then laughed when it perversely turned out to be the absolutely terrible 2000 version (not that there are any good The Great Gatsby films because it's The Great Gatsby, obvs)
