That Oz edition has to be the best cover yet.

Does this mean can we expect the Big Trouble in Little China prequel/reboot too?

Frank Thornton "Are you being served"'s Captain Peacock aged 92

That's so sad. He was still funny in Last of the Summer Wine. He'll be missed.

Sliced into a fresh loaf of bread only to find it was essentially hollow. So I paid for what amounts to a loaf of air. Bugger.

Looks good on you.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...!

Mrs Albion went home at lunchtime and there was a letter for her saying that Churchill Insurance wanted £4300 within the next 14 days or they would take court action against her.

She was in an accident 9 months ago. The other car was insured by Churchill, we are not.
Churchill say that they haven't received the money from our insurer so they sent this letter to us. Arseholes.

I called our insurer, I'm the policy holder, Mrs Albion is a named driver. They say they are disputing some costs that Churchill want but it's nothing to do with us and they will handle it. Churchill are just trying it on and it's a load of hot air apparently.

Not happy about them causing us stress and worry over something that is between them and not us.   

Churchill? Arseholes? Oh yess.

Impressive. Very impressive.

I'm truly gutted. Iron Maiden has been one of my favourite bands right from their beginning. Sad, sad news. RIP Clive.

Deadly.

The skin of my hard-boiled egg is stuck to the white, making it very difficult to peel off the shell, while maintaining the structural integrity of the tasty morsel inside.

You need to plunge the egg into an ice bath for a minute as soon as you stop boiling it. This creates a layer of steam between the white 'skin' and the egg and should peel quite easily.

I've done that in reverse. Speaking to a client I was sure was a man. 'Yes, Mr. ---.' Reply, 'It's Mrs.' 

[Attack of the Block]

Attack of the Block. I wanted to enjoy it more, but it fell a bit flat for me. I kept wanting the alien bear-dogs to disembowel the hoodies good and proper.

[The Princess Bride]

The Princess Bride, a Saturday morning cinema trip for all four of us for a tenner all in! 

What a perfect film this is, start to finish.

How completely true. If anyone has not seen this in the cinema they owe it to themselves to do so. It really is a treat.
