@harelockwood.com I don't know if this is your kinda thing, but I was just going down a numbers rabbit hole and worked out that March 23 next year is a date where the day, month, year, date expressed as a number in DDMMYYYY (23032027) AND in the inferior American format (3232027) are all Prime.

If I had a nickel for every time Strange New Worlds defined character via boobage ... I'm not sure noticing puts me in a good light though. In addition to the (for want of a better term) in your face difference between La'an and Thalia in SNW4.09, in SNW4.10 when we have two Uhuras side by side...

@seanferrick.bsky.social Another great series of ups and downs. I wonder now a certain Sean favourite pilot is destined to become an instructor it makes you wonder if one of her first students will be the swashbuckling Hikaru.

Bizarre things that happened in your assembly: One student was identified as being the relative of one on the writers of 60s radio show Round the Horne. (I no longer recall which) This was in the early 90s so it meant nothing to almost everyone, except one classic comedy obsessive.

Made what some may consider the odd decision to pull out of my 25k walk at 23k, on the flattest easiest bit and having already done the Downs, Beachy Head and the Seven Sisters. The fact that someone has since told me that my lungs 'sound haunted' makes me think I made the right choice.

@seanferrick.bsky.social @trekculture.bsky.social Another excellent episode/ups and downs. Must admit I thought you may have felt like I did that the END of the guest antagonist's first line was deliberate. ("Cue/Q credits")

@seanferrick.bsky.social @trekculture.bsky.social Okay, last one until new episodes but as much as I love the Jeffrey gene theory, this was my theory when watching the B&W episode (note I had this theory as soon as the doppelganger was mentioned and BEFORE we got the name) Do Illyrians batch cook?

Me at 1700: Oh I forgot it's a long weekend. And me with no plans. I can get on with all that mundane life admin I need to do and maybe some self care. Me at 0200, staring at the dimly lit ceiling wide awake: Nope, nothing productive will now happen.

Chrissy Derbyshire: Innards Whistlebinkies, 11.15am A lovely monologue which flows naturally and has some excellent sentences with beautifully chosen words. A natural performer and engaging. Very much a big recommendation from me. #edfringe

Against a dark forest green background, Chrissy Derbyshire awkwardly covers herself as some hot-pink insides, a large octopus clutching a jar of chicken Bovril, and a velociraptor riding a bike escape from (presumably) inside her. Her heart and brain are also visible. The title says 'INNARDS'.

The iconic "Les Miserables" poster but I've, comically, replaced "Les" with "Fewer" pretending I've misunderstood the poster to say "Less Miserables" which would be grammatically incorrect
