Quite. I'd just been looking at today's squad for the first women's T20 against India, so...

As a former boarding school inmate, I personally will never forgive her for making a genuinely deeply traumatizing experience seem like a good thing. The only reason HP had to come from a hostile home environment was so leaving his whole life behind seemed like a good option.

Are we sure this isn't the RN preparing to go the full Horatio and wang it at a passing Russian Shadow Fleet?

No. Feels a bit like cheating. Plus I swear we've had some words twice.

Del you share my shame with the rest of the gang because I don't know what or why any of this means any more.

Oh, and I'm sorry to hear that your back's fucked. So is mine, if that's any consolation. Only I deserve it.

I think you should get comfortable, take some time out, buy one of these, and have some fun, because honestly they're fucking brilliant.

In which case, if all agree, hold on to yours for now @pombalstoat.bsky.social. I shall manfully and heroically take the hit for today.

I think perhaps we should tweak the rules: if it's a draw between two or more of us, but one person did the day before, that person is reprieved. Fair?

Hans kind of hates it when I name-drop him, unless I tell people to go and by all his books, and point out that he's not American despite what Google says. Anyway, here was his, and thus the canonical, answer:

Now, there's only really two ways to know this:
1. Asking George Lucas
2. Asking the technical illustrator who worked on all the Star Wars books and who not only lives down the road from you but who you happened to be cat sitting for when the question arose

Some time ago on this platform, a particular science orientated account asked a question about the Death Star from little known cult indie film Star Wars. The question was this: how were the decks oriented? Did they follow the curvature of the outer shell, or were they all on one interior plane? ...

Bollocks to it: this is bugging me so here's my bit of trivia. Some of you might already know from previous posts but just in case you don't:

I spent some time looking for a GIF and gave up; there's only so much exposure to Marky Mark I can take.

Neither of them added a slice of cheese. Frankly I'm disappointed.

Yes I know I used the upper case. But it was funny.

These two ABSOLUTE FUCKING LEGENDS decided to make use of this knowledge in the best way possible: at the same time, each of them placed a slice of bread on the exact point, and thus created an Earth sandwich. Here's the BBC article:

Seeing as nobody can do any worse than I have, here's the first bit of trivia that sidled its way into drunk me's brain: in 2020, during that horrible nightmare, two guys figured out that there were points directly opposite each side of the planet Earth, one in New Zealand and one in Spain. ...

Alright. I understand, I think, but there are more subtle ways of implying emphasis. In this particular form of communication, statements in upper-case come across as shouting, which I'm sure you don't mean to do. At least you don't use exclamation marks, which is in your favour. Shall I expand?

OK look: I know. OK? I know. And this guy? He doesn't know. He's like a badger gazing at a stop sign. It *probably* means something important, but he just can't grasp it. So we can't blame him. Alright? We just... we can't blame him.

OK. We, um, we need to talk about your use of the upper case. I totally get what you're trying to say, but the way you're saying it is frankly off-putting.

Like, two years ago that would have been appealing? But, um, really not now. My mate from school is going to get married in California at some point and I honestly don't know what I'll do if he invites me. I'd have to get a completely blank phone, for a start.
