In which there are stakes, piss-takes, and mistakes

- Vampire hordes will find Dunster station well prepared against attack.




- "Jayney" wrote this amazon review of Birmingham Street Atlas (A-Z Street Atlas): "So far I have only got lost once using this, whereas the times i have wandered round Birmingham clinging to it like a limpet to a rock and looking like some kind of nondescript tourist/easy mugging victim are too many to mention. It has such fine features as pictures of roads on. It even depicts paths where theses exist, but do do try and stand on the book as it is merely representative of the physical world, whilst it does occupy time and space, please do not get real paths and the ones in the book confused. it has taken me several months to learn this and i would hate for anyone else to suffer how i have. It is comprehensive and a worthy adversary to getting lost in 'the big smoke'."

- Insult to injury: and when I searched my local library catalogue for "birmingham a z" it also suggested, "A to Z: practical learning strategies to support spiritual and moral development". Which seems a bit judgemental on the populace of Birmingham, lol.

- Oh say can you see? Nope! I had no idea I lived so close to USians with expensive tastes in fireworks until 10-30pm on 4th July. My entire neighbourhood were enormously amused by the massive tri-coloured rocket, clearly intended as a visual finale, that made visible sputtering trails up into the night sky and then disappeared into oblivion without any of the three shells bursting. We've even invented a conspiracy theory in which Chinese firework manufacturers deliberately sabotaged an entire batch of red + white + blue rockets to ensure as many $th July parties as possible ended with a damp squib. /schadenfreude @ hubris //$th typo uncorrected because it's funneh
