I am male. I am over the age of 7. I am a geek; borderline nerd. QED, I have seen the film.
Also.
A friend of mine's son is called Luke and he loves saying "Luke, I am your Father"; worked well until said son say Empire.

I thought that was the minimum age for your scotch.

Scotch? Never touch the bloody stuff. Occasionally I'll have whiskey, but never scotch.

Not being a drinker it was the quickest thing I could think of. 
I know you like the occasional gin.

The skill of being an occasional drinker is turning every opportunity into an occasion.

I can't get away with that kind of thing, my productivity reducer is a text stream of the cricket on one screen while I work on the other.

 How is your screen size?
Which spec do you use?

Again from Ilson (Ilkeston);
Quote: LEE Moss, of Croft Crescent, Awsworth, was fined £100 and ordered to pay a £20 victim surcharge and £150 costs for dropping a cigarette in Wilmot Street, Ilkeston, on August 20.
LOUISE O'Neill, of Cotmanhay Road, Ilkeston, was fined £100 and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £20 and £150 costs for dropping a cigarette in Bath Street, Ilkeston, on August 20.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

We're all the victim Griff, the cigarettes landed on our green and pleasant land. Forget that, it was Ilkeston.
The victim surcharge is somewhat euphemistically named, it is a tax, pure and simple.

I had to look this up too - it turns out of the court imposes a fine or custodial sentence, the defendant has to pay a victim surcharge to the victim support service. Seems a bit nonsensical here - the victim is the local council and they already have street cleaner so I doubt they need much support. It's not like they are going to be mentally damaged by the issues raised by cigarette butts.

What a load of spherical objects... 
Mind you, I was offered victim counselling years ago (in Hampshire) when the police wrote to say they couldn't solve the crime I reported.
Someone had pinched the tax disk off my motorcycle, presumably because they didn't want to pay for insurance. I was of course badly traumatised by this violent intrusion. </PinocchioMode>

Who is spherical, and to what does he object?
Sorry - too an opportunity to good to miss.

At least you get news. According to the local paper[^], nothing has happened here since 19th April.

That was from a paper for the whole of Derbyshire.

IMHO the court a bit soft - public hanging would be proper...

How many times have you been publicly hanged by her until now?
Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!

None - but you don't want to hear her watch the news, or any of those "police reality" TV shows...
