Trap Door
Just found Trap Door on one of the kids channels on Sky (Pop! Ch.616).

Have series linked it already...

Dilemma (but not that difficult)
You walk up to a cashpoint, there's £50 in three notes sticking out of the cash slot and it's making that beeping noise. You didn't see anyone at the machine as you approached and noone in heading back towards it looking confused.

What do you do? WHAT DO YOU DO?

Facebook
For some reason, FB has decided - I think - that it's going to keep every link I post and every status update secret from everyone else. And it's not letting me remove the secrecy, as far as I can tell.

Does anyone else have a little padlock icon next to all their updates? And does anyone know how I can get rid of it?

I've just eaten the first satsuma of the season. Happy Christmas everyone.
I've also bought a chocolate roulade cake for my sister and nephew when they visit tomorrow.

I know for a fact that I can leave it untouched till their arrival. Ok I had a piece but only because I really fancied some and not because I had to have some.

The amount of willpower I can muster sometimes scares me. I think I must be a genetic experiment gone wrong and then secretly given up for adoption.

Good news
I thought that I had to do a reception shift tonight.
I got up, was about to fly down the stairs, quickly double-checked the rota, and realised I'd made a mistake. That was last Friday.
I do not have to work on reception tonight!

Erm... what are you, like, relieved about yeah?

Prisoner Cell Block H
Best soap opera of all time?

or

Long running bore fest?

Personally for me, it was one of the best TV programme's ever broadcast. Brilliant characters and character development, excellent dialogue, cheap sets, gripping plots, funny AND grim in equal measures and always entertaining. Well, OK, it did kinda taper off towards the end when the likes of Bea and Lizzie left, but it still maintained a high level of watchability.

I keep meaning to torrent every episode, but even with a 10Mb connection, I would probably be downloading for years.

What happened to white dog poo?

I think it may be a combination of changes to dog food and more concientous dog owners, or maybe little elves altered the dog food formula so that the poo only turns white at night at which time they sneak out of their little elf holes and snaffle the white poo for nefarious purposes.

I have a lot of experience. Last weekend I single handedly moved DiT and his lovely wife to a much nicer part of that there London and today I moved my office from a shitty new town to a lovely little village only six miles from my house.

I think my unique selling point will be that I will move your stuff while also being a horrific bully to you.

*Tumbleweeds*
So, I'm getting married next year and the future wife wants me to wear a wedding ring. I really don't want to wear one as I hate wearing any kind of jewlery and it will look fucking stupid on my hand.

She says it is a symbol of our love and it's important for other girls to see that I'm married. I believe that i have the will power to tell other girls I'm married if they look "hungry".

Am I being a difficult, is it normal to wear a wedding ring?

PMS - Pre Menstrual Syndrome
Does it exist, do any Betan ladies suffer from this, and if you do, do you admit to it? Or do any Betan men suffer the fall out from it? The wiki page on it is quite interesting and tries to put an evolutionary spin on it, which I think is pretty believable.

"A variety of evolutionary rationales for the syndrome have been offered, including that it is an epiphenomenon due to the selective advantage accruing to other phases of the hormonal cycle, that it leads to "intensification of male ardour during the next onset of fertility", and that it prompts females to reject infertile males (who cause PMS due to not impregnating the female). "… an infertile male/potentially fertile female partnership would tend to break down, thus allowing a new pair-bond to be formed. The greater the degree of premenstrual hostility of the female, the sooner a fertile mating could ensue." Any theory would have to account for the persistence of PMS over substantial evolutionary time, as it appears to afflict baboons as well."
