I like drawing maps and plans for what I am writing I am always finding the X is in the wrong place, Y needs to be twice the size and further away and Z is actually on the other side of the castle. Erase and redraw. If it all goes completely wrong? Then just start afresh on a new sheet. 2B...

I am always a bit wary of in-jokes. As you say there is a chance most people won’t get them, or they must be explained to them. Or they are only for the "real" fans. The one exception to this is Sir Terry Pratchett. He wrote in so many in-jokes or Easter eggs, that is hard to get them all...

In the 80s I did get to see one day of a West Indies vs England Test match at the Oval. It was amazing. The crowd on both sides was loud, engaged and friendly [and ever so slightly drunk by the end]. I just don’t have the time to watch Test Matches now [and they are usually behind a paywall]...

Hail and well-met [Anyone that likes cricket is okay with me]

Hail and well-met

The smartest person I was every lucky enough to call a friend was also the friend most likely to walk in to closed doors. And they did that twice within my sight.

Just started watch reruns of Police Squad. Still finding it very funny.
