I agree on heights - but I walked a glass-bottom bridge a few years ago to prove I could do it. Since then, the fear is still there, but not as dominating. Main one is telephone conversations: What if they don't hear you properly? What if you talk over them and they think you're rude? What if they talk over you, are they rude? What if you call and you've been really brave to call, but no-one answers?!

Don't even... Sigh.

I'll be seeing you...

Let's do it!

Y'think that's bad? it's been over 37 degrees most days, despite me calling and telling them not to, but what are you gonna do?

I tried, but I have no easy way of linking to them. 😝

Oil painting - it's messy and time-consuming, but I am really enjoying teaching myself.

Admittedly about 20km under the surface... ... but still! Holy Matt Damon-potatoes!

Aw no...

X-TIEs and Ewok pilots... The Rogue Squadron books would like a word...

I read an interview with Adrianne Palicki where she mentioned that Seth MacFarlane wants everything onnthe show to be perfect, so he won't let it go ahead without him checking every detail. He's got a lot of other things going on at the same time as well. Kind control-freaky, but at the same time, it's a labour of love for the guy.

I dropped out after episode 5 - much like Andor. Andor - the main guy looked like he was bored through the entire thing, and that just gave me sympathy boredom. The Acolyte - I'm gonna say it: It was all too implausible. The twin that didn't die, the ease of tracking everyone, the whole weirdy-beardy in the floating trance, the way that the little girl tricked the spy-eye. I'm willing to suspend a lot of disbelief, but that was too much disbelief to suspend.

To quote Futurama: "Poor thing starved to death!"

Haha... nope. Anyway: Another colleague is desperate to vote for RFK Jr - which is his right, but I wonder how many more stupid protest voters there are out there and how much damage they are going to do.

It is... humorous and... political.

We had to put our Subreddit on temporary hiatus because of the type of sub we have and the type of people it attracts. This really is the worst possible outcome for the USA right at this point in time. I'm not going to say what we're all thinking: But it would ultimately have been a better result. Now? He wins it.

Was Harry Kane even there? I saw him meandering offside in the box once, and that seemed to be his entire contribution to the match. And he got a yellow. Well... done?

It'd be about 3am here as well. In fairness, I'm usually awake around that time anyway. The number of goals scored in normal time kinda screams we literally don't know how to play football. I'll give it to Southgate, he's got a steady hand, but it's time for a little bit of risk taking.

Need an opinion: I have not watched a single game due to the time difference (+8 hours). Should I, or should I not, take the plunge and watch? Last time I stayed up for an England match was a dismal, deathly-dull 0-0 draw.

What's the job?

This is like Idiotsincars, but "Billionaires ruin stuff".

Cor, cripes, Lummee! Ol' Bozza off the bench eh? What do now chaps? Shall we go on the razz? I'll ask nanny if I'm allowed!

@EEVILMURRAY Yes, it's easier to find a position when you already have one. Again, that security is so vital.

Job satisfaction and job security... There's anxiety one way or the other, I'd take security on account of the mortgage, but be on the look-out for something I enjoy.

Can anyone explain what Fast X was about? I have never watched a movie in this franchise before, and going on the basis of what I saw the other day, I never will.
