What’s the catch?

A euphemism if I ever saw one @hunnybunny.

Just sorted out the 2025 Twiggy calendar for family and friends.  She never looks at the camera. Well, she does but there’s always a really interesting bug/leaf/noise/squirrel that distracts her at the vital moment. Never work with animals etc…

Quite pleased with it. A shame that Tesco ran out of ink when they went to print it. Doh!

Never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never nevcr eat a pork and leek sausage.

I don’t want to talk about it.

Really fed up with all the blank spaces in the AB ranking lists. Needs a fix! Anyone else agree?

About time for a Dr Who update. I’ve reached series 12, episode 6 which is halfway into the second Jodie Whitaker series. I have to admit that it’s not been too bad, much better than I expected/remember. She’s actually quite good but the plots are getting gradually weaker and less memorable. Sticking it out.

Glad to hear from you @catsnbirds. I know you are lurking in the booths. I’m sorry if you have been the only one subject to an indecent amount of The Fall and Steely Dan. Or maybe not if Tom Hanks is still mooching around. Didn’t he say he would leave the country if Trump won. Maybe the BP is where he’s now living. But don’t play him at cards, he cheats.

Well I moved on and this is where I got to.

Depressed, concerned and bewildered. It’s been a pretty miserable day. I speak as a member of the human race.

So took Twiggy up a big mountain. She was so happy scampering across the rocks and heather that I soon cheered up, thank goodness.

Something a bit odd about some of the leaderboards. For example 11 of the top 50 in Level 1-24 in AB have blank names. It’s the same on other levels. Was this always the case or has something caused this recently? I don’t remember seeing it before although I think it was mentioned recently in the context of a Challenge. Did we come up with a…[Read more]

What has been sown will be reaped by those who sowed it.

Moving on.

Maybe I should look more at AB GE levels. They too are very glitchy.

Talking of wilful ignorance, there is a lot of it about. Fingers crossed for the US election.

@hunnybunny, the geography thing drives me mad. On the same programme a couple of them had not the foggiest idea of where South Korea was. The fact that they kept choosing China for everything seems to imply that they didn’t even know where China was. Today somebody failed to work out which country was bordered on either side by Canada and Mexico.…[Read more]

@brianN, both Angry Birds levels so 2-12 is Poached Eggs and 4-9 is Mighty Hoax. Conventional numbering so not much more to add. Annoyingly today’s Challenge (ABO 6-2) is not within reach using Ver 1.6.3, so I’ve had to sit it out. But at least on 1.6.3 I finally caught up with (and benefitted from) the self-collapsing level 3-9, which has some…[Read more]

‘Bout time we had another “idiots in quizzes” post. In House of Games today (I always have it on while I am cooking) the four celebrity contestants had to mark Singapore on a map of Asia. All four of them had been to Singapore, one of them very recently. So what did they do? Two of them went for the interior of China, not even the coast. The other…[Read more]
