Driving home this evening: 4×4 driver in Drayton reverses into (I presume) his driveway and in the process runs over his green box which is out for collection.
Statement made?

Quandary
A colleague has gone off to football practice in his lunch hour and has left what he is currently working on live on his screen. It’s some kind of presentation and features the word “assesment” (sic) displayed very prominently.
Oh dear.
Do I correct it? Do I leave a post-it on his screen? Do I drop him a polite email?
There’s nothing in Debrett’s about this, probably because the kind of people who read Debrett’s could not conceive of someone not being able to spell “assessment”.
The Hunt for Red October: Beginner’s Edition
Can you see it yet, children?
Red October, as any fule kno, was an Akula class ballistic missile submarine, NATO codename Typhoon: the largest and (to a certain mentality, such as mine) coolest such vessels ever built. And to such a mentality, the wealth of pictures on this site here verges on the fetishistic. Enjoy, boys. Lots of pictures of a Typhoon, inside and out. Some of the first interior ones are alarmingly damp and rusty, but I think they’re from inside the sail, which floods when the boat is submerged, so they’re meant to be like that.
The first picture is of a cat that obviously commands its very own Red October. All cats were born to command their very own Red Octobers.
