*        It’s an Oppo A5 2020: in case you were wondering!   Apparently, the front mounted camera has AI beautification filter.   Nobody say a word about the orchestra!

†        Apparently, the Roman Inquisition did the deed, Olga.   What IS the Italian word for surprised?   And I know exactly what you mean about being careful, online: one wrong word can do so much damage!

‡        Hello, Mum!

^        I still say you can’t beat the Flying Fish, Trevor.   Mind you, their cod’s got smaller, recently!

ª        Morning, Edith.   How’s the day going … ?

º        You know, I’ve still not seen Broadchurch, yet, Debbi: I’ll have to catch up!   Hmmm … wasn’t Jodie Whittaker in that?   I keep thinking the producers hired Matt Smith because he worked with Billy Piper on The Ruby in the Smoke.   I’m wondering about John Boyega … 

Talking of The Prisoner?   I’ve picked up The Strange World of Gurney Slade: it’s supposed to have influenced The Prisoner, a little.   We’ll have to see!
