  • Same as I think of actors who don't write their own films or plays.

    And to labor the point, also cooks who don't create their own recipes. Or football players who don't invent the rules of the game. Or fighter pilots who don't build their own jets. Or doctors who rely on "book learnin'" instead of figuring out how the human body works themselves.

  • He wants to be the first trillionaire. This is the way.

  • I’m allowed to walk across the street without being arrested for ‘jay walking’.

  • He seems like a decent sort of chap.

  • War would be declared every morning before all the me's have had my coffee.

  • Doh! Good question. I leave it as an exercise for the reader.

  • We’ve gone past guillotine, past morgue, past burial… now we’re into illegal exhumation and vivisection humor territory.

  • Bold of you to assume I was born and didn’t appear fully-formed from the forehead of Zeus.

  • Surely this wouldn't work anyway since the pages would reset (ie to unwritten) at the beginning of the loop to the same state as on the first day. Otherwise, you could achieve the same thing just by writing a journal.

  • Depends entirely who's done the choosing and on what basis.

  • With great responsibility (hopefully) comes great power, as my auntie Ben used to say. I'd rock it.

  • The sound of an English country garden on a Sunday in summer.

    This is a composite of several sounds all of which must be quiet or distant enough to not be a distraction but which in conjunction are glorious:

    • childrens’ laughter just far away enough to not be bothersome
    • bees buzzing from flower to flower
    • a propeller-driven light aircraft from a nearby aerodrome (ideally this would be a vintage plane with a Merlin engine, gently warbling in the distance)
    • the sound of leather on willow, and the occasional call and muted cheer, from a cricket match on the village green
    • the gentle burble of a stream
    • church bells, far enough away that their individual peels almost blend into each other
    • the clink of ice as someone pours a perfect gin and tonic.
  • How are you coping with the over abundance of vowels?
