Heh, it's been like working in a wind tunnel today. Tonight will be interesting, as my shed shudders, rattles and groans under the onslaught. You bricks-and-mortar dwelling Earthlets don't know how lucky you are

Shed, eh? Luxury.
My boat came off its moorings while I was at work. Luckily my neighbours managed to stop it and moor it again, otherwise I would have been homeless (again).

Boat people are good people. Glad to hear your home didn't float away and I hope there was no damage.

Winds seem to have abated here - it's all gone very quiet...

[Dandontdare]

.... too quiet

Saw a ripped poodle today. Not just one of those tall poodles, some kind of crossbreed. Totally hench, but still looked like Terry McDermott.

Cheers Sharky, it's all good (thanks to my boatneighbours)! For all the hiccups I'd find it hard to be a landlubber again

Yesterday I walked past a homeless beggar. I ruffled my hair and tried to look twitchy, hunched and eccentric myself, so I wouldn't be asked for any help. It then struck me that I'd become Boris Johnson, only down a social class or two.

Here's a good one...

Type "itanimulli" (illuminati spelled backwards) into a search engine and see where you end up...

Patrick Stewart Shares First Photo From New Star Trek Series, James McAvoy Interested in Playing Young Picard.

Prepare to be disappointed and excited at the same time. (Sounds like my sex-life )

Whatever happened to the Short Story Competition?

[IAMTHESYSTEM]

They shortened it to nothing!

So two questions from looking at the twitter feed for NYCC:

1/ Why is Babs Ravenholme sticking up two fingers to the camera?

2/  Why didn't someone explain the gesture to her before tweeting the pic?

So I was at Waterloo this week visiting the rather splendid Memorial 1815.

It's a bit "Napoleon-porn" as it sets up the context for the battle but the 4d film is great and it did make me wonder a bit how different the world would be if Sean Bean and his mates hadn't defended that farmhouse quite so well.

Two things:

I assume as well as Germans winning second World War, there is a sub-genre of Napoleonic alt-history?

Would it have been better if the status quo (regency, aristocracy and church) had received a kicking And Bony had won?

It would have been better for guillotine manufacturers.
