  Within The Spicy Cauldron, mix poetry and prose in equal measure. Stick everything into a blender for five minutes. Stir gently with a wooden spoon, then pour slowly into tall glasses with crushed ice. No cherries. Let the drink speak for itself.

Doh! Stupid Simpsons DVD won’t open!

We bought The Simpsons Movie on DVD yesterday. The case had the most stupid red button on the side; whatever it was supposed to do—it turned out it’s attached to what seems to be a lever mechanism extending across the case, under the DVD—it prevented us from opening the damned thing. A little applied force in desperation, and the box split, front and back, with shards of plastic exploding outwards. The cover sleeve is torn, again front and back, and the stupid thing still won’t open.

Can a police officer really be so dumb?

I'm saddened to learn that Big Finish has not only lost the right to produce new The Tomorrow People audio plays, but did so halfway through completing a sixth season! They don't even have the right to sell seasons 1-5 anymore, but can sell the original TV shows on DVD.
