Apparently, it's considered somewhat odd when heavy stormy weather is happening, and the rain is striking down forcefully enough to bounce high... To wrap up warm, put on waterproofs, a wide brimmed hat, gloves, and then sit out in the rain with the kindle in a ziploc baggy and read.

And looks like Downton Abbey won't be able to use the railway station for the season... BBC - Downton Abbey railway carriages ruined by vandals Sounds like a bunch of idiots smashed up all the windows on the heritage carriages, then decided to set off all fire extinguishers to ruin the furniture and wall fittings inside them.

I enjoyed Mad Max right up until the ending phase of the game. All of the films had a mood of crap happening, but still ending on an optimistic tone. The game doesn't quite have that. Sure, there were a few gameplay/mechanical issues I had with it, but for the majority of the time it was fun.

Well, just to jump away from health care and consider cyber-security... Bloomberg - Tillerson is said to shut cyber-office in State Department reorganisation

I was trying to decide if this was more the funny things side, but eh, I'll throw it in here for the military social aspect...
