Husband, dad and cat dad. Working (unsuccessfully) on not rolling my eyes. If I liked nice weather, I wouldn’t have moved to Scotland.

It’s like one of those ‘spot the mistake’ puzzles I did as a kid 😂

@davegoodman.bsky.social Hello, I’ve just finished ’A reluctant spy’ and just wanted to say how much I enjoyed it.

My daughter told me this morning that Disney always surrounded the villains with green and showed me a collage of images. That’s quite the atomic glow I thought, and then I saw your post! That sound you hear is the penny dropping 😂

The guy next to me in Saving Private Ryan, who was clearly reliving the DDay beach landing scene. I honestly thought I was going to have to give him CPR. He was in floods of tears at the end.

Good job they left Trent behind. He’d have left a massive gap at right back.

After a think, here’s my answer to/stab at my own question: Churches are cold now, but weren’t then: more people frequenting more often & the reason we have stone churches is because they are the ones that didn’t burn down when we heated them with naked flames. I look forward to Madeline’s answer!

@oldenoughtosay.com please forgive the question, but are churches cold because of the materials from which they’re built, or are they built of those materials *in order* to be cold (eg to keep people awake)? Is the cold a side effect or a feature?

Possession of a Blue Peter badge gets you into the Tower of London for nothing. The staff on the gate were lovely and asked my daughter all about why she’d won it.

Works for iPads and iMacs too. I swithered between “It’s going to electrocute me” and “I’m guessing the manufacturer knows about this and therefore I’ll be fine”

You realise that was supposed to say “no” information, right? Before I fall out of a window or something 😳

Never eat the first/last cm of a banana as that’s where monkeys pee and spiders lay their eggs. Only (with difficulty) stopped when my wife refused to let me “pass on that nonsense to our child”

When you say not getting paid, do they receive back pay when this is all rectified, or is it never paid for this period of work? Because I seem to be alone in viewing work as a contract, not a favour! You pay me I turn up. Don’t pay me won’t see me!

There’s a saying here “he couldn’t hit a cow’s arse with a banjo” meaning one’s aim is terrible. That makes me wonder whether you’re subconsciously prepping for not being great at the shooting.

I was never sure what you were supposed to do with them - eat them like sweets or dissolve them in milk. I’d just eat them like sweets then regret my life choices. The same life choices that mean I’ll almost certainly buy a packet again 😂

“Countdown” by Rush (from the album “Signals”) is about the launch of the first shuttle, so maybe outside the remit. (Cue argument about when the Cold War ended!)
