Surely it should be given the additional recognition of becoming a decile 11 or 12 school.
Our deciles go up to eleven!
Way off topic, the element controls on my cooktop go to twelve.

Blink was so well written.
Oh, which reminds me, you know what else was scary? Stephen Moffat's Jekyll . James Nesbitt was completely terrifying in that.

Re: "Blink" - very much so. Reminds me of the old Buffy episode with the Gentlemen, where everyone loses their voice. That one managed to be both the funniest and the scariest episode of the season - possibly the series.
Careful Josh, that's my geek button you're pushing.
We just rewatched Hush with the kids, and it was as I remembered it - creepy and hysterically funny. Joss wrote it because people kept telling him how great his dialogue was - so he wrote an episode with almost no speech.
My daughter is getting this for her birthday.

and when I was little the Daleks did scare me.
Daleks are the only thing to so far scare my daughter, and that includes the Blink episode with the statues which scared me more than anything else I've seen as an adult.

this just put my head somewhere mysterious and wonderful for half an hour.
That's lovely.
And speaking of having your head in a different place, if there are any other of Radio Live's listeners out there who want to contribute, please do feel free to join in the discussion here instead of emailing me.

To be fair, I'd guess ~90% of amyl use is by gay men. It's not unfair to call it a gay drug.
It's the implication that it's common to use drugs during gay sex that bugs me.

Are there people in the world who are genetically hardwired to choke rather than say "I don't know" or (even worse) "we got that wrong"?
Yeah, I'm going with 'yes' on that one. But they sure as hell shouldn't be working in PR. Or customer relations for that matter.

Be interested to know what you think of it, Emma and/or Mrs Skin, if you have the time to read it.
Depressing, unsurprising, cogent and remarkably reasonable?
It seems it should be very easy to instruct judges not to mention sexual orientation - so you just have 'relationship' and 'partner' not 'relationship' for straight people and 'homosexual relationship' for LGBT people.
Anyway, here, let me give you something in return, from back in March.
Gay Sex Attacker Jailed for Four Years
Try to imagine the headline 'Straight Sex Attacker Jailed'. It ain't never going to happen. But they're not finished.
He was acquitted of one charge of stupefaction after it was alleged he used Amyl Nitrite - a drug commonly used in homosexual activity - to render the victim unconscious.
A drug commonly used in homosexual activity. Classy. It's possible that a change in judicidial language might also trickle through to court reporting.

Gio, you can have my Gold Star.
Well, I call it a star. It's a gold-painted baseball bat drilled out and filled with concrete, but the principle is much the same.

Anyway, it's here:
Cheers, Eddie. I was thinking I was going to have to work today, but that's fixed that.
Here's a blog on the Amazon situation with a bit of time to reflect - how it's not the end of the world, nor all okay now.
