I'm very squeamish. A couple of times I did have to close my eyes lol. I don't think I could have normally watched it unless I had played the games extensively and been dulled by them a bit. How I made it through Hobo with a shotgun will always be a mystery to me.

Peter Higgs solves the universe's greatest mystery.

December 31 again so another link in the great chain of all things that consumes our beings . Definitely a return to normality after the turmoil of previous years. I've done a lot of great hiking, both in the UK and abroad. Spent the holiday for Charlie's Hat Party getting soaked on Pen-Y-Fan. Highl...

I can think of two reasons. They really didn't like the neighbours on the right. Hated them. Couldn't even bear to have the boundary fence in view when looking at the garden. They got a really, *really* good deal on patio doors that were just a bit too wide. Or third reason, the people they got to ...

I've only ever been to one murder mystery party and the host didn't really know what they were doing and no-one really got into it. So I went and got so, so very drunk; partly because my character (alcoholic Irish journalist) required it, but mostly because it seemed like a fun thing to do. Which it...

Loki S2 is good, I am enjoying it, but I'm still not 100% sure I get all of what's going on and Loki seems too keen and eager to be a goody and rush round to save the day instead of being charming and witty and devious and only in it for himself - it's like Loki isn't really 'Loki' enough. I like Ow...

I hope it's not Mali.

Oooh, a mystery guest!

Only one answer again. But it was correct.

Ah, mystery solved. As I've just been forwarded the confirmation of Andrew's physio referral, it seems that Andrew's last name is very close to mine. That explains the mix-up, I should think.

Got it! I had £13 e-shop credit, so I went for a voucher deal and picked up Advance Wars 2 and Zelda for £71, which is nay bad a deal. (Advance Wars has still got it, btw.) Crikey, this game is a bit big, isn't it? I think I spent about six hours in the tutorial area alone. So far I'm really enjoyin...

Went to see Dungeons and Dragons. It was very silly and very funny. I laughed out loud quite a few times.

Monster hunters on Netflix. So shit, boring and shit! I can’t remember it and I watched it yesterday.

Murder mystery 1 and 2. Quite charming and fun. They passed the time quite well.

Finished the US version at the weekend. Alan Cumming hosts in a very different way to Claudia Winkelmann. He certainly isn't as motherly and far more icey, but adds a sense of mystery and feels naturally at home in the environment. In a way, it's like the difference between the classic hosts of the ...

And IN STROLLS GRIM..., BITCHES I have read some books. Prepare to be entranced! 1) Hell Train by Iain Rob Wright Look at that title! HELL TRAIN! HELL TRAIN! CHOO CHOO IT'S THE HELL TRAIN! Etc.

Charlie has had his entire life already, with all that entails. He's made many mistakes and missteps, almost all of them public knowledge. The Queen had the advantage of being a mystery, an icon. Charlie is just another celeb, really. Reckon his reign is going to see some major changes for the Union...

They look awesome. Are they eaters or carvers?

We have what appear to be pumpkins growing in our new veg beds. No idea exactly, and where they've come from is a mystery! The beds are filled with home-made compost and we don't eat pumpkins...

That was one splendid Meat-Up and once again a truly lovely weekend thanks to the fantastic hosts Mr & Mrs Grim and Willow the Wonderdog. Far better than Green Man which was probably swallowed by a giant sinkhole or over-run by sinister Wicker Man style cultists or something. Highlights: Willow ...
