From the film Battle of Britain: Skipper (Robert Shaw) "Where have you been?" Sergeant Moore (Ian McShane), dripping on the tarmac "Learning to swim." Skipper: "How often have I told you? Never fly straight and level in the combat area! C'mon, I'll give you a lift."

Sue and Linda, her home care robot, arrive at the door. "Oh. No bell, Linda." "I will knock hard on the door, as suggested." "Yes, but be careful-" 💥💥 "Oops." "The door is now broken. But they can repair anything, so it is not a problem, Sue." "Mm."

"Had it occurred to you, Clouseau, that the beggar was the lookout?" "That is ridiculous. How could the beggar be a lookout?" "How could an idiot be a policeman, eh? Tell me that!" "I suppose all he has to do is enlist." "Shut up!"

I liked his good cheer. On one of the occasions that his Alfa failed, someone asked what the problem was. "Oil leak," he smiled. "Oh, come on!" "No, honestly, the oil's leaking out of the cracked engine block.."

1982 was the year I became keen on F1. It was quite unique. Genius, tragedy, politics, theatre, as if the Greek gods had taken a personal interest in it. Keke deserved the title. But out of interest, I once ran the results with either Carlos or Gilles still around Either would have taken it.

Sue and Linda, her AI home care android, are lost in the woods. "Get us out of here, Linda!" "I can't, I'm not connected to the internet." "Check phone. No signal. Bugger." "I have an emergency beacon." "Thank God." "But it requires a functioning cellular connection." "Oh, great."

I was always impressed by John Hillerman as Higgins in Magnum P.I, because he, a Texan, did the senior British NCO pretty well. He occasionally missed a beat, but not much. The only cringes were down not to him, but the increasingly daft scripts!

"It's like that guy. You know, the one who charged windmills." "Don Quixote." "No, not him. Had a pal called Sancho Panza, rode a donkey." "Don Quixote." "Fine, I'll look it up." * creak, loud thud, rustle, rustle * "Who was it?" "Never mind."

As I remember, Arnoux put the car wide on his best qualifying lap at Silverstone, but had so much grunt & rear wing that, once he regained control, he took pole anyway..

But we all know our 1950s disaster movies. The crash will wake subterranean lizard monsters from the dawn of time. They will duly identify the cause of the problem, arrive on Earth, and devour him. Having learned our lesson, we will make peace with the lizards, ruminating on our narrow escape.
