Can't wait for the joy of dealing with IT on this. On the plus side, I can blame IT, because the head of IT called me and surprised me and made me drop my laptop when my phone went off surprisingly. Which surprised me.

When asked "has it been dropped?" the only possible answer is "of course not"

You were part of the first year of the staying the night before locally tradition. Airbnb is merely the transactional conduit for the tradition.

I don't remember this at all

You don't remember "let's go find a pub!" In the rain and a two mile walk down a barren dual carriageway, then back?

Ah, nice lazy morning before getting the train back to Cornwall for Easter. Few travel traditions are classier, after all, than staggering down several standard class carriages on so-called-GWR back to your seat with four tins of beer from the buffet car.

Vice threw up so much last night, it all soaked into the mattress. It stinks. Churches very empty this morning, so WHY ARE THE MATTRESS SHOPS SHUT?!

Kern · **Posted:** Tue Apr 18, 2017 8:52

Wasn't as spritely going up the stairs at Marylebone last night as I usually am. Ah well, I blame the previous night's Easter Curry and, perhaps, too many cans of beer on the train up. It was, as bank holiday trains tend to be, crammed full, so I was glad I had both booked a seat and boarded at an early stop.

I'd go to none of those and instead, go to July 8th 1995 so I could be there for the launch of the Sega Saturn. I'd then be able to pick up all those pesky expensive games before they got stupidly expensive...

Oh... I'd also tell myself to not be a dick in my teenage/early twenties years.

Oh... I'd also tell myself to keep hold of Hayley Ventons phone number and not lose it.

500BC - I'd basically set up a religion there, in a week, mashing all the popular stuff into one, and then, on my return, be hailed by the now global strong movement as their returning saviour, encourage the use of run on sentences and RULE WITH AN IRON FIST

I read something yesterday where it was said that the saddest thing about Dinosaurs being extinct is that we’re missing out on a whole host of different meat to taste.

A bunch of people dug a manmoth out of the permafrost and ate it a while back, which isn't dinosaurs, but shows understanding of making science accessible. You could try eating crocodile, or alligator, or a wormdo

But wait, I know what some of those animals are, but not a wormdo. Could you please explain to me in some detail what's a wormdo?

You have to buy the magazine. Or wait for the article to be rehashed in the next issue.
