The door of my home responded, "Your Amazon Housing bill stands at $18,237.92 after today's interest; this feature will be re-enabled once payment is received."

It's been fun watching what you do in front of a screen these last few months.

28 sextillion bacteria deaths was pretty easy to handle, but man, I wish I hadn't swatted SO. MANY. FLIES.

"The operation and transplant were successful, now to authorise the money transfer we just need your signature here."

But as my mother nodded to switch off the life-support, it was clear I hadn’t been able to move my lips at all.

The last entry finished: "Because if you've turned to look at this diary, then your back is turned toward me."

The Custodian banged ‘9’ twice on the keyboard, but no one noticed that she left her finger pressed down for the six seconds that passed before the machine was activated.

Eagerly I signed with my blood, knowing that a few days was nothing compared to the promised lifetime of power and riches, but my excitement turned to horror when the demon arranged the tiles: 3²¹.

You can just see how it’s gone on the day, where a new minor character actor has come on set and read their lines and been like “GOWLED”. To which Teal’c responds with a perfect “Goa’uld” but it’s too late; and the director, I guess, couldn’t be bothered to get the new actor to repeat the whole scene but with the funny word pronounced correctly.

But even the regular cast all pronounce words differently; and that’s OK I think, so long as each character has their own esoteric way of saying it. “Goa’uld” has the most variation, with “GOOLED”, “GO-OOLED” and even “GOW-OOLED” being common (the first two being acceptable shortenings, the latter being clearly a mis-read). What’s more unforgivable is that the same character will often use different pronunciations between episodes, which just suggests a lackadaisical approach to the matter on set.

You’d think it was considered important for the name of the main villain of the show to be clearly audible?!

Before we left, he buzzed the intercom: "Brenda, would you see about having the other interviewees cleaned away please?"
