* I have to admit, it went well, Olga. Although someone got a little frustrated at Sonic the Hedgehog Two. Mentioning no names, here! To be fair, Jude DID find a hidden level I didn’t know about!
And, yes, I heard about that chap: the climber. Or someone similar, anyway, whose did the equivalent of climbing Everest!
I’ve heard the same stories, as well. One from a man I worked with, at KFC: who’s been a school child around the turn of the century. Speaking personally, it’s something I’ve always seen as child abuse …
Hang on, Olga, you? Clumsy? Never! (He says, laying on the schmooze!)
As for Karen Carpenter … ? The one good thing we can take from her death is the simple fact that — here in the UK — it boosted the awareness of anorexia.
† You know, I think I remember seeing that fort on Connections, Trevor: the old James Burke show. I might just have to look that one up …
‡ You’re not wrong, there, Debbi. About the only upside is it made people more aware of anorexia. Unfortunately? There’s websites about it …
Q1) 1977 Q2) The Big Ear radio telescope Q3) Intelligence Q4) Hydrogen Q5) Sagittarius I agree with your assessment. Definitely child abuse to try anything to make a child write with the right hand. I am not only clumsy but terrible at games, but I guess I've never dedicated them a lot of time. (I used to be very competitive when playing games as a young child. Now, I don't really care an iota, that I know can be frustrating for others). Here it was a bit cloudy yesterday, but no rain as such. And none forecasted.
It's wild listening to the Wow Signal. I mean, wow! :)

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
† Your Facebook, X/Twitter, Blogger, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn profile are acceptable. I also like seeing folks webpages.

I think I need a new heart. Watching the 2 semi finals of the Snooker was certainly nerve-racking.
Here is the Wikipedia page on the oldest of the 2 forts at Tilbury. It certainly looks like a fort.
