sadly no 😢 but thanks for trying @Sylvia

Or hoped that if he kept his mouth shut and ignored it then it would all just go away. And this would have been reinforced the more time passed.

Yes! I've known who it was for a while, as have a few of us here I think, and I was so shocked! Anyway I'm so happy to hear this result.

Yeah well, it's hard to enthuse. There were a couple of standout numbers, far too much lame science stuff, and a lot of mediocre numbers. I'm so tired of the women skating in the pretty princess mold, but since it's all they've been taught it's not surprising. I'd love to see them skate with...

I have no clue what mm mine was, and didn't even know what that meant. It was a point and shoot with a cute little built-in zoom, and I could thread my belt through it and wear it around my waist. I thought I had the latest technology 😂

Me too! Completely gobsmacked. There's nowhere else like it. I wish I'd had a better camera. And knew more about photography lol. And had slides made instead of prints. But yeah it was 40+ years ago, so it is what it is.

Lurved Daisy Jones and the Six! Book's good too.

So many Russian athletes have publicly supported the invasion of Ukraine. I think at best it was stupid of him to say so publicly, at worst unconscionable that he doesn't see, and support, the bigger picture. So yeah Adam, get a clue.

Context or not he needs to get a clue.

The continuing saga of Africa Overland 1980 - post 2 https://alisonanddon.com/2024/04/29/tanzania-mania-africa-overland-1980/ .

Thank you so much for this. You have confirmed my worst fears, that the whole science theme would be lame and unfunny. And the little clips on twitter of each cast member saying who they are are as a scientist, linked above, made me wonder if he thinks the audience is pre-schoolers (Loena and...

It's ok. I was just puzzled.
