Used to see a lot of that style in the Telegraph and Guardian Crosswords

I disagree. It seems to work just fine - I can't figure out the old style...
and I can't figure out the new style!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Girls Dead Monster - My Song[^]
A bit of an odd one out in my SOTWs.
Not because it's from an anime, Angel Beats!, or because it's Japanese or even because it's from a fictitious band that exists only in said anime, but because it's a ballad.
It's just acoustic guitar and singing.
I'm not usually one for ballads, one of my least favorite music genres, but this one has been on repeat.
I don't even know what she's singing, but I don't need to, to enjoy this song

Nice one.
I've never actually seen The Crow though, is it any good?

Another good one

I thought the Crow was a really good movie - very enjoyable. If you like it, you might like Spawn. You might also like League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, or Hellboy. All of them were good popcorn flicks. Of these, the Crow is the darkest, least humorful.
Did you get your cat back?

That looks bad!

Loved those, especially LoEG, never understood why it gets such a low score on IMDb!
My cat was sighted last on Friday, but I was yet unable to catch her
She's now at a farm, about 500 m away.
They really want to get rid of her because they try to get pheasants and partridges to their farms and cats and birds don't mix.
Luckily they love animals and they're trying to catch her rather than poison her.

If you liked LoEG and Hellboy, I'm pretty sure you'll love Spawn. Like you and LoEG, I can't understand why it isn't more highly rated. Fantastic popcorn flick!

Sorry to hear that. Sending my best wishes that everything works out good.

This came up on my goof-off time when I really should be getting work done. You may have posted it before, but if not, it is something of the style you seem to like.

I haven't posted this before.
I've been listening to this kind of Japanese music all weekend
Added A Silent Voice to my IMDb watch list, looks nice

If you have any interest in what goes on behind the scenes in television series writing, a friend has written about his experiences over the years working with/for studios, directors, with other writers, actors, etc etc etc.
Search for "Get In the Car, Jane" on Amazon, if interested.

Or go to a librarian, so that librarians do not die out and also to stop feeding the beast.

I think I saw some of her early movies... Goldie Lawn, right?

I like her, but I am not sure about her longevity. The problem being is that it is only (simi-) modern distribution of food commodities that allow someone to live of vegetables.
I now understand why my grandfather and father kept a garden. Yes, you can live on your own garden, up to a point, but you still need protein.

Provided you plant a Bacon Bush, a Cow Tree, and a Chicken Shrub you'll be fine.

Oh yes, a bacon bush would be just perfect(*). Any pointers as to where I could find one?
(*) I did enjoy the occasional full English breakfasts when I was in the UK. They will kill you if you have them too often but the occasional one is quite good and filling. ( Apart from the bacon the beans and mushrooms where not bad either )

I was told Bacon Bushes were on sale at my local garden centre. I went to have a look, but as I approached one of them it suddenly leapt out and started shooting at me. Turns out I was in the ham bush aisle.

Don't confuse a garden with a farm! One is for supplementing ones diet and pleasure, the other is dedicated to raising food.
And as far as living off of vegetables? I scraped since 1971. My son, raised only on that sort of stuff, was on varsity sport teams (as was my youngest daughter). They did rather well in their studies, too. So apparently one can live quite well and get their protein and flourish.
Beans and nuts have serious protein content (just a quick couple of examples). So do grains (wheat-like more than rice-like in this domain).
You've been raised in a country drenched by propaganda bought-and-paid for by the meat industry. Eat what you want, but do get the facts straight.

I disagree with your definition:
W∴ Balboos, GHB wrote: Don't confuse a garden with a farm! One is for supplementing ones diet and pleasure, the other is dedicated to raising food.
I believe that a garden is for raising food for your table, while a farm is for raising food for sale.
We raise vegetables and chickens in our garden for our own consumption. We raise goats for sale — most are slaughtered for export or for dog food.
