Sounds like a much better night out to me.
Locally, we have the best of pro

And fantastic am

Never seen a poor show from either, usually superb.

But, sorry, Cheesy, saw Little Shop of Horrors at the Watermill and it was excellent.
Not my thing, I'd rather remove my ball hair with duct tape, but if you enjoy it, good for you, no need to apologise to me, everyone is different.

Easy enough to model (the shape itself is not new - only the proof).

But damn. For something which can tile to infinity without ever repeating, it is actually really hard to do on a computer.

I'll be printing off a fair few of these I think...

I don't trust extra locks much, for ages steering wheel locks had those round locks that could be opened with a pen.
I used to love the fuel cut off switch my MG had, easy to reach but unmarked and not obvious.
I'm not sure how I'd go about doing something similar in a modern car.

Jumping ship before some scandal hits the press, do we think?
A new scandal to add to:
Ferries fiasco, several scandals for the price of one
Trans right arguments
Declining health service
Education system problems
Air traffic control strikes
Dodgy loan from her husband to the SNP
Accusations of bullying
Knowing about Salmond being a sex pest and not doing anything

There's probably more too. And then there's the internal party strife on how to claim the country has de facto voted for independence in the next GE whatever the result.

I loathe independence politics.

I'll STFU now.
Didn't take too long...

The locks on my car don't work very well.
And my bike has been parked up with the keys in it for at least 5 years.
