Severance

Oh my god! You killed Kenovich!

Quote of the moment:
"I wouldn't want to be accused of not finishing him off when I had the chance." - Laura Harris in Severance.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner. Not only does she take a shotgun to the head of one near certain corpse, she drops a rock on the head of another, to a nice bit of ballet music. Classic moment when she first tries to lift one that's a bit too big for her, too. Best bit though was a guy trying to shoot people with a heat seeking missile, only to see it veer away from them and blow up a passing plane. Classy.

Hurrah for Jimmy's dad. He's decided to lend us his 4x4 for going to Scotland, instead of using Jimmy's hatchback. I had to go and have a driving lesson from him today to get to grips with it. To get "an easier start" than going out onto the main roads we went bumping around some byways first, which actually required far greater control and was rather new to me. Quite fun though. He also showed me and Jimmy the ridiculous amount of equipment he has stashed in its cubbies, including two tow-ropes, five tyre irons, a collapsible bucket and a foxing lamp.

Tennis this afternoon with Will was an improvement on the previous episode. I've progressed from losing 6-2, 6-1, 6-1 to 6-0, 6-1, 7-6 (7-4), mostly because Will got tired. There was an awesome game that battled back and forth for at least ten minutes of deuces and advantages, before I managed to hold serve (highly unusual) to make it 5-5... If I'd managed to hold again when I was at 6-5 then perhaps I could have forced him to stagger around for a further two sets and an epic five set victory.

Au revoir kiddies... I march to Scotland on the morrow. 6am on the morrow, to be precise.

have fun :) buy a kilt :) everyone should wear a kilt. Mmmmm sporrans.

Will said...

Yes. Uhuh. You could have come swimming in the bracingly cold sea and lost your nuts completely, just like Will T.

Kilts are impractical for the following reasons:

Midges.

There are many of them and each is a reason not to get your nuts bitten. Unless you're Will T, in which case, no worries.

AHAHAHA.

Also, at the time time I read this I hadn't seen Severance. GREAT STUFF. The best bit was the pie though. "You found a pie????"
"It was covered in foil..."
Awesome.

Bear traps suck.

Will said...

From Will T's nuts to bear traps. Related? Perhaps a mini one... a VERY mini one...
