SpoilersThe Hedgehog From Hell says: "I shared a house in England with a couple of Germans in 1999. I was watching Star Trek: Deep Space 9 on BBC2. One came into the room and saw Jadzia Dax on the screen and said 'Oh! Is she still alive? You're really far behind in this country.' What's been ruined for you, and how? Apart from QOTW, obviously"

Sneaking. Hmph!Whilst out supermarket shopping some time in 2002 or 2003, Mrs Hitchhiker and I encountered a child screaming and crying because it couldn't have ice cream there and then or whatever. Out of earshot, we mused on the traditional remedy for petulant crying children of our generation: "You're crying about that? I'll give you something to cry about!" followed by a swift crack to the head. I came up with a non-violent 21st Century alternative:
"I'll give you something to cry about! You know that film we watched with the hobbits? Well, GOLLUM DIES!!!"
Pleased with myself, I looked at Mrs Hitch for a reaction, who looked back at me shocked ...
"Gollum dies ..?"
