Certain groups in the US have a bit of a Taliban-y vibe when it comes to religion and politics. It's quite scary, really.

Whitney, maybe one day we can invade you and bring democracy to the US? Sisu: The US is nothing like a socialist country. Socialist countries are places like Norway and Sweden: rich and full of rich, happy, healthy people. The US is still terrifyingly right-wing, which suits people like...

Frustration, boredom.

Wow. Darkness at 1900 is how we know Winter is well on its way. At mid-Summer it doesn't get properly dark at all. Of course, in mid-Winter it gets completely dark by about 1600UTC...

I quite enjoy the long, dark nights of Winter. They make a nice contrast to the complete lack of darkness during the Summer. I just like the whole year, really. Except February. It's a bit pants.

Not much. I sometimes go to the barber for a shave. It's a bit more relaxing than doing it myself, I suppose. I don't really take time for my hobbies anymore. Too much to be getting on with, you know?

Well, mine would have to be a wild boar. I think my best memory might be my wedding day. Tough choice, though.

We still use 'hirple' up here. Well, we would. It's our word, after all.

Aw, yeah. I used to watch that in the mornings before university. He used to paint scenes that looked a lot like my favourite places, out in the woods and the mountains.

Bagpuss, the Clangers, Button Moon and Portland Bill!

Ah, well, I've known most of these folks for years and been through a lot with some of them. Life-or-death stuff with a few, so they're almost an extended family, really. They're a fairly diverse bunch, but we're pretty tight-knit. I'm considered the crazy-brave one, so they know if I start...

I went to great lengths to recently acquire both a record player (vinyl is the new CD, man) and a rotary dial 'phone, but reel-to-reel is a bit old-school even for me. All my suits are three-piece and I seal my letters with wax. That's fairly old school, isn't it? My wife is younger than me...

Hmm. I'm quite a chatty guy, once I've had a minute or two assess the people I'm with. Recently I had developed a horrendous stutter, though it seems to have cleared up as of last weekend.

'Man up'. Never been used to me directly, but I've heard it used by people talking about other folk. Sometimes I do feel like mentioning that I also have it, then asking which of the contents of my display cabinet they would prefer to have stuffed down their throat and how easy do they think...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-20033833 That everyone was okay. I'm off work with a virus today. Not sure how I'd have coped if my being off had in anyway impacted the outcome of that. Which is just me being nutty, I guess, as that's a good bit out of our AOR.

Oh, yeah, it's definitely a billboard. Future employers go looking for you on it these days, so it can help to put photos and stories of you doing cool stuff on it. Just keep clear of photos of you lying in a drunken stupor... I use it to remind people of how amazingly awesome I am and why...

Flaws should be acknowledged then worked on and ironed out, not merely accepted. Hmmm. Shifting moral compasses are handy things if you want to get people to commit atrocities for you. There should always be a line.

Have you told this to an optician? Sounds serious.

When the sound of a Seaking's engines overhead in the darkness makes the whole world fade away.

A pun!
