Just saying. But not *quite*.

On this Tax Day, I have a joke about trickle-down economics, but 99% of you will never get it.

This is prized in some circles as once you dry it out it makes some of the best firelighting material in the world. Get it glowing and you can pack it away carefully, walk for 12 hours, unpack it and blow on it, and have another fire.

There was a wooden framed couch in my uncle's holiday cottage we visited as kids in the 80s He donated it to me and J when we moved into an unfurnished house in 2010. Already rickety.
In 2016 we bought a bigger couch, I sanded it all back, yacht varnished it, turned it into a garden couch. Bit dodgy though.
It's finally succumbing to the elements. But one of my favourite fungi, Fomes fomentarius, or the hoof fungus, has taken hold.

Opening scene of many SF drama serials: Enemy spacecraft are bombarding an outpost, our plucky heroes dive for cover as dirt rains down around them.
The plucky heroes all remove their helmets one after another, for no particularly good reason. They're all very pretty.
(You get a pass on this, #Firefly, for making a gag of it. But looking at you, Stargate SG-1, S2:E2))

Faulty glow plug finally replaced. Only took 4 different adapters in the end of the torque wrench to get to it 🙄

I'm hearing that filming of the new Highlander movie is on-going. Locations including Eilean Donan and Isle of Skye. Extras being paid £100 per 2 hours.

I will be interested to see what they do with this Highlander reboot. Rumour is that they are re-using the Queen soundtrack, which is probably a good thing. I'm not sure how Henry Cavill and Russell Crowe will cope in the iconic Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery roles (respectively). We'll see.
