And so starts a crazy 72 hours of manic packing and last minute scrambles. They say moving is one of the most stressful things, and this is my forth time in 20 years. Granted that's not too many and I am hoping this is the last, well last before a big mansion comes into view at night in my dreams, anyway!

  Right, got you. Of course. I suppose with job opportunities in the US = possibly 1000s of miles, here 200max.

  ' Came Together ' can be used in a similar way.
  
  If we came together, we got together or met up. Or we arrived together.
  
  But two cars can ' Come Together ' of have ' came together ', in a collision, as in a crash.
  
  Of course Come Together also has a sexual connotation, though in British English especially, very few words / combinations of, don't !

I spotted my old maths teacher down a nightclub once. I remember him well, as he was obsessed with geometry, so it wasn't that much of a surprise to see him throwing shapes all night.

  @SlidellMan Yeah, that's a very American show BNS and I don't think it ever aired here. I've heard the name before though and I've certainly seen the RG cartoon series and at least a couple of Garfields. I think Sir Nigel Hawthorne died that year too. His biggest show in the UK was [Yes Prime Minister] and [Yes Minister] but he was most well known in the US for The Madness of King George.

Had my first jab of the C19 Vaccine yesterday. It was Oxford–AstraZeneca, and I felt proud to take it.

I feel proud of being British and our NHS. It certainly has its problems but I wouldn't change it, outside of a better funding system.

Today I've had a bit of mild flu feeling and a sore arm but I think that is proof it is 'doing its stuff'. My father got his Second yesterday and my Aunt is due for her first On Monday.

NB: I've had to repost this because a couple of people think the original had political overtones.

I think maybe the fact that I had C19 back in March last year (and more) is why I have side effects, I don't know. At least I know it is working.

  It's only a short book, but I recommend a slow read. I do that to savour books.
  
  Big books you might bang through but Sci Fi tends* to be on the shorter side so I take my time with them.
  
  I generally think that when books are 600 pages that maybe the author is a bit lazy or self indulgent. A lot of my favourite books are 200, 250, 300 pages.
  
  Like a film NEEDS to be 3 hours.

  Whereas I've wanted to watch Charly but never got round to it. Written by Stirling Silliphant, who wrote one of my favourite films, In The Heat of The Night.
  
  I recommend the book. I am working my way thought the SF Masterworks series by Gollancz. I've only been at it for 20 years. I started collecting them in 2001.

According to this Amazon email I just got 'Heart of Darkness' is a recent release from Joseph Conrad.

Considering he died in 1924? and the book itself was published in 1899, I don't think Amazon quite grasp the meaning of the word 'Recent'.

Flight of the Amazon Queen is a forgotten Amiga classic; mainly because it came out pretty late in the day.

If you don't know of the game, it's free, so you've no excuses. Despite the disingenuous assertion on Wonkipedia, the released game, as was, was not coded in Amos.

4 Non Blondes. 'What's Up'.

I remember this coming out and thought it was great. They never made a second album and apparently the first was a mountain to climb as it was.

Only recently did I discover that remarkably half the band (Shaunna Hall and Wanda Day) had been sacked even before the first album had been completed.

That has to be a first even in the mad fucked up world of Music!

  No I think you are right. After it came out, as a song, I knew I liked the song, heard 4 Non Blondes being mentioned, but- only put them together about 5 years later.
  
  They sort of disappeared and considering it is a wonder they even got one album out!
