QotD: Pleasepleaseplease!

What was the one toy you wanted as a kid that your parents never bought you?
Submitted by Princess of Darkness.

The Palitoy Star Wars land speeder for my Star Wars action figures.

I wanted this toy so much that it hurt, but I never got it.

Even getting the Millennium Falcon a few years later didn't make up for this. Ah, well.

Done

Why I hate decorating

Most parts of decorating I like. This is what I hate.


Fashion's in the Details

Sometimes telly is rubbish. Not rubbish in a big, over-arching way, but in a small, missing detail sort of way.

Lorna and I were watching Project Catwalk, our guilty Sky Three pleasure, waiting eagerly to see which of the three dress designs would win.

And they didn't tell us.

We suspected it was the one you can see to the right, because someone from that team was this week's winner, but we didn't know for sure. It was never explicitly said in the show. And that left us feeling curiously unsatisfied.

Niggling details.

(It was that dress. We found the result on the website.)
