Thank you for coming: have a good day.
* Well …. It looks like he’s won, Olga‡. Which, hopefully, means he’ll be out at a General Election!
I’ve got Star Trek Discovery and The Book of Boba Fett on the go, at the moment, Olga: we’ll have to see! And I’ve finally managed to track down season four of El Ministerio del Tiempo: I am going to HAVE to make time for it!
† That it is, Debbi. The BIG question, though? Does Max the Cat stutter? (Max H himself, has a cameo in Pixels: I don’t think they got the stutter right.)
‡ That’s a thought, Olga? Did I ever mention the Max Headroom Incident? Debbi probably already knows about it. Someone managed to hijack a US TV station, with a weird Max Headroom style broadcast. During an episode of Dr Who, would you believe? No-one’s been caught for it.
Q4) A hatchet (a cannon might have worked better...)
Q5) Midway The Max Headroom incident sounds interesting... Not surprised they didn't catch them, though. Good luck for tomorrow, in advance. Yes, even when you don't expect anything major or it's a check-up, one never knows. Do make time for el Ministerio... I know you will. And yes, the results of yesterday's vote weren't a surprise, even here.
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.
