28th April, 2022.

Right … it’s Thursday: which means I’m expecting my nephew over, at some point.

But also the day after I’ve managed to finished a review!

If you want to know what I thought of The Batman?

You can!

I just hope it makes sense!

“His father was right about one thing, at least, when he’d said that lies could run around the world before the truth could get its boots on.”

The Truth, Terry Pratchett.

And a video …

Or two … 

Terry Pratchett: Choosing To Die from Charlie Russell on Vimeo.

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

The quizmaster’s decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        I think he’s picked a winner, here, Olga: he’s possibly one of the better performers in it.   Robert Pattinson, Batman, himself, is just a touch wooden.

        That’s very true: weather does have that effect, doesn’t it?   If it’s ANY help, south west London’s looking better than is was, yesterday.

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        Oh, that it is, Debbi!   Oh, can you let me know if that second video, Choosing too Die, shows up, please?   (It’s worth a watch: and is seriously powerful!)
