How are you scaling this? Is a severed arm in a swimming pool okay? Or just a hand?

Plus, if all houses cost the same, moving is simple. No money changing hands, as every property is the same value.

Yes, all houses should cost the same. Whether it's a two up, two down in a run-down Northern city or a twelve bedroom mansion in the Sussex countryside. That's proper levelling up!

Still annoyed that someone blocked the suggestion of renaming a classroom after a colleague who passed away - the Chris Leach Information Technology Suite

Depends - does no-one go there because it's just opened? Or been taken over by someone doing a "better" job? Or maybe it's not serving food that's in the current fashion? Perhaps it's a hopeless place to eat, but you enjoy the atmosphere?

Is it because the "large UK based airline" only do cargo flights?

Genuinely don't understand people who think their "I don't like this, so don't talk about it" comment should overrule any conversation. Let's face it, we all need some escapism form the world of deceit, treachery and scheming... Oh.

Don't crack an Enigma machine, they're expensive! Even if you're a good Geordie lad, they'll make you pay for it to be fixed

And now for PE we're teaching *checks notes* parkour? NO JIMMY, GET DOWN OFF THE ROOF! YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO FRED, EVEN IF HE DID PUSH IN FRONT OF YOU FOR LUNCH! SOMEONE CALL A FIRST AIDER! IN FACT, GET *ALL* THE FIRST AIDERS...

Well done, now you can never take more than a couple of days off without being urgently called back to work. Enjoy being indispensable, right up to the point you burn out.

Also, 75% of the staff at Bletchley Park during WW2 were women. Germans were so confident Enigma couldn't be broken, they didn't put much effort into breaking Typex.

If your kid's legs are long enough to kick the seat of the person in front of them, they're old enough to be held responsible when their legs get amputated by a frustrated person who's had a really bad week and just wants some peace and quiet on their journey home for pity's sake. Too much?

What you're looking for there isn't a pension, it's stuffing £20 notes under your mattress. That's not guaranteed either though...what if you get burgled? Or your house burns down? Or there's a zombie apocalypse, meaning money is worthless?

Making people shorter would also help, reduce ceiling heights and you can then fit three floors into a previously two storey building

Ask garage to diagnose issue. Google issue and expected cost of repair. Respond to garage with appropriate hand gestures if the price is too high.

The only genuinely squirrel-proof bird feeder would be built into a drone, hovering well away from any trees, lamp posts etc. Then again, the squirrels would probably work out a way to jam the signal and crash the drone...

Reminds me of Dad's former colleagues back in the 70s. They got caught underselling the company, and we're called to head office and told to hand in their company car keys. They did exactly as asked, but no-one knew where the cars were. They found one about 10 years later...

Almost had to overload the warp core on that freighter to get the cheese to melt, then it tried to escape

Are you sure Chief? This is Klingon targ cheese, served on Romulan black bread, with Cardassian butter. The combination alone may defeat you, but it was grilled on the warp core of a Breen freighter.
