    Ziggurat of Ur, Göbekli Tepe et al

    I watched a documentary that had Gobekli Tepe in it but I remember none of it. So... that's my story. (Doc was on Netflix, might still be on there if you have that.)

    Gender bias in terminology

    Erm, men playing women (and, later, women playing men) is completely normal (at least, in the UK) and has been since at least Shakespearean times. In pantomimes here, the pantomime Dame is always played by a man. And there's a character in panto which is always played by a woman, even though the...

    Your face is your number plate.

    You underestimate my hermit-ness. I haven't been in a supermarket since pre-covid. And I only pay for stuff using cash.

    Your face is your number plate.

    I avoid people, and the places they go, as much as humanly possible. So I doubt I'll be anywhere where facial recognition is a thing.

    What was the last movie you saw?

    Batman & Robin. I'm sorry, but this is my favourite Batman film besides the Lego one. Holy full-fat cheese, Batman.

    Possibly! Fungi are brilliant, aren't they!

    Gender bias in terminology

    I do have a female cucumber plant currently. Some plants are specifically male or female and some are both.

    Gender bias in terminology

    I recently joined a houseplant group on Facebook. Mostly Americans, so I don't know if this is an American thing (someone confirm?), but they all refer to their houseplants as 'she'. I find it deeply irritating.

    LEGO The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell 10316

    I'm a member of the Lego VIP club so used all my points to get vouchers, plus cashback from a cashback site, to get a really good deal on this set when it first came out (so got the two freebie sets with it too, the house and the Gollum/Frodo pair). It's a joint Christmas present for my husband...

    New Fantasy Anthology (aka the DISTAFF women again...)

    Spoiler: It looks fab!

    Animals as characters

    I have it on VHS. Think I might also have it on DVD. Love the film but can't watch it as it's too sad!

    DISCUSSION THREAD -- 300 Word Writing Challenge #49 (April 2023)

    I noticed it very early this morn and was going to mention it but honestly thought maybe it was an April Fools thing and didn't want to look like an idiot.

    Considering the current advances of AI how likely do you think an AI might replace you in your job?

    I run my own fish and chip shop. Not sure AI would even be interested.

    Special Fossils Finds (for) Chronicles*

    Nice. I need to get back out to Lyme at some point.

    What was the last movie you saw?

    Everything Everywhere All At Once. Brilliant, one of the best films I've seen for a while. It's like Jet Li's The One, Dollhouse, Paprika, Umbrella Academy and Ratatouille all rolled in to one.

    What was the last movie you saw?

    Vesper. Weird sci-fi. Good story but seems like it finished half-way through.

    Question on your time at school

    I hated and despised school and left it as soon as was humanly possible and I feel sorry for kids nowadays who have to stay there til they're 18. I wasn't bullied exactly, but most people were awful to me - luckily I was cleverer than the vast majority of them so could fob them off. The nasty...

    Who Are Television's Most Boring And Uninteresting Characters?

    Jack from Lost. We got a WHOLE episode explaining his boring-ass tattoos, when the real reason boring old Jack had tattoos was because the actor had tattoos and we didn't need an episode about it. FFS. (Yes I'm still mad about it).

    What Was the Last Television Episode You Watched?

    I watched I think it was episode three of Physical 100, which is a Korean thing on Netflix. Basically it's real-life Squid Game but instead of getting shot they have to smash up a plaster cast of their own bust. It's so homo-erotic I can't even. I love it so much.

    DISCUSSION THREAD -- 300 Word Writing Challenge #48 (January 2023)

    I was planning on giving it a go this time but kinda forgot. (Last night I dreamt that I won a writing competition with a story called 'Boobner Woman' so be grateful I didn't enter, I guess!) :sneaky: I will try to remember to vote.
