1st March, 2020
Yes: it’s official.
I’ve got an earworm: Eric Idle’s Galaxy Song.
But … ?
Whatever’s going on in my head is weird, frankly.
Because what ever was going on … ? Wouldn’t let me remember the lyrics.
Damn you, Eric Idle!

* I know it amazes me what I can find on the iPlayer, Olga: and on some of the other catch up services. At any rate … ? I managed to catch Terminator: Dark Fate, last night. Watching anything else may have been a better idea, it was a bit of a 💣.
† I can tell why, Debbi! I caught some of 2003 version. How on EARTH the cast kept a straight face, I don’t know! Apparently, though? When the original Joe Friday actor died, the LAPD retired his badge number. What can I tell you? (Oh, sorry about q3, yesterday, the 5² one: but the answer I was after was 5²: or 5.)

Yes, I'd heard bad things about it and I haven't watched it. Good job as well. Just remind you that I'm starting my course tomorrow, so I might not be around much in March (apart perhaps from the weekends, although it depends on how much catching up I have to do).
Take care!
Oh, crap! As Rick always used to say when he took a test, "Read the f*cking question!"
1. a dove
