Sat, 20:01 : Oh, god, I've got James Delingpole in my timeline. Hit it, burn it, ew, ew, ew. Nasty. Now I'll have to disinfect. Sat, 21:34 : When I was very little, I had no idea that BATMAN on TV was played for laughs. When I found that out, it was a disappointment. Sat, 21:37 : Keep vaguely hoping that when the films reboot they'll finally do a Silver Age iteration, emphasising the "World's Greatest Detective" vibe.
