Tony Blair was a CIA plant. This was told to me by a colleague who was told this by his vicar. I find it highly plausible. I also joke that his predecessor John Smith was murdered to make way for Tony Blair, but if it turned out to be true I wouldn't be 100% surprised.

Quietly, peacefully, and when I'm ready. All my experience of death has been unpleasant and traumatic, and I'd really like mine to just be ok. I know it's a lot to hope for though.

I'm imagining your brother watching you bounce down the rocks shaking his head and saying "you haven't changed a bit". Mainly because that's exactly what my brother would do.

"Prisencolinensinainciusol" by Adriano Celentano. I don't know if we could really say what language it's in, but I definitely don't speak it.

Stuffed vine leaves. I made them once for a gathering I had and they took me about 3 hours in all. Everyone loved them but for the time they took me, and how much of a pain in the arse they were to make, it wasn't worth it. The ready made ones in tins are just fine.

TIL there's more than one book!

This was a really interesting read, thank you.

I got very addicted to eating dragon fruit pretty much every day when I was in Vietnam. Sadly the ones I can get here in the UK are expensive and insipid, but I'm going to keep on throwing my money away in the vain hope of finding a good one.

I bought pyjamas for the first time in my adult life last week, until now I just used old t-shirts, leggings, joggers etc. My nightwear drawer was where my outdoor clothes go to die. I'm nearly 50.

Same. And if it had been a standalone zombie show that wasn't attached to TWD it's unlikely I'd have given it more than one or two episodes.

I'd imagine that whoever pays, that US companies will already be preparing their bids for the contracts. It may even be a condition of the military support that is being provided to Israel. This is my gloomy cynical view, assuming that the Palestinians in Gaza are all wiped out or removed, and Israel asserts full control and it becomes wholly part of Israeli territory. And based on past events in Iraq etc.

I trod on a slug recently while wearing socks. The slime didn't come out in the wash. Bleeuuurrgghhhh.
