        The Judge comes out with the immortal line "I cannot be killed by a weapon forged by mortal man"...

        Whereupon Buffy says "That was then, this is now" & shoots him with a bazooka....

        I just love that scene.
        I remember that

        "Once more with feeling" is a classic as well. And the Angel "puppet" episode.
        Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

          It's a great skill to have but I'm far from having mastered it convincingly though.

            With the invention of the scrolly mouse wheel it takes even less effort!

              Happily quite quiet here as well this morning, though I could do with a kip but think that might be noticed...

                Am I right??
                Nope!!

                Today is the day that Bear has gone to work in his own office. logged on to laptop, logged on to 2nd laptop and connected to ClientCo network.

                      Worryingly, I was giving a presentation a few years ago to a supplier and one of their guys was obviously asleep. Trying not to take this personally I soldiered on with the powerpoint and hoping one of his colleagues would do something other than smile about it.

                      I sped through the rest of the presentation as fast as I could, and assumed that the lights coming back on would be sufficient to wake the guy up. It wasn't. Turns out the guy was diabetic and was slipping into a coma. His colleagues had 'forgotten' his condition and had also assumed he was asleep. Ended up requiring an ambulance on site.
