1.) Happy birthday,

stellastars!

2.) I have been listening to Sian Phillips talking about Juliet and her Romeo on Woman's Hour. It sounds interesting; any Bristol or Bristol-adjacent people interested in going?

3.) LJ's question of the day is about the first news event you remember being aware of. Sadly in my case the answer is "Robbie Williams leaves Take That", I have a very clear memory of Newsround showing footage of hordes of weeping fans. OH SELF.

4.) Here is some more Leverage squee!

The Mile High Job

Hee, French Sophie! She cracks me up in this scene.

Hardison watering Parker's plant! ♥

HARDISON'S FACE WHEN HE REALISES HE'S MISSED A JOB.

Everyone hiding! This makes me giggle a lot for some reason.

"How does she do that?"/"I don't even ask anymore."

THEIR IDS! I also love the fact that between them they are also carrying a) wedding rings and b) an Air Marshall badge. Just in case! (I would love to see them all having to turn out their pockets.)

LOL at Sophie accidentally pinching the luggage with all the sex toys in it!

"Are you in my chair?"

"Jet fuel burns at over 1000 degrees. That's hot, folks!" Parker's absolutely got the air stewardess tone down, she's just a little off with the content. And then when she's listing all the more likely ways for Marissa to die! Though of course if the company had had their way she'd've been wrong. And Eliot's reaction!

"For the Horde!" And poor Hardison, getting harangued by Nate.

Hardison making up a convincing corporate speak filled presentation completely on the fly! He is brilliant.

Hee, the plane is too full of expensive stuff! Also Parker really wants that Stradivarius. Not to mention: "Nate, can we at least steal the diamonds?"

Parker cutting to the essentials: "The guy in 1D wants to kill you. Ginger ale?" And then Sophie having to sweep in and do damage control!

"Carrot on the cob? That's gonna scare some people, brother." Hardison is not wrong. Also, I love him tormenting that one guy.

Parker: "The guy we just took out?" Eliot: *glare* Parker: "...The guy Eliot just took out?"

"When I knock people out they tend to stay knocked out."

Hardison's joy! "I wanna cry and call my momma!"

I wonder who all the stuff Hardison is walking out with belongs to?

Aw, the Nate/Sophie bit in this one is quite sweet.

The Miracle Job

Hahaha, everyone trying to be diplomatic about Sophie's acting!

Well, almost everyone.

ELIOT FLASHBACK. "No. No, [Sophie's play] was the worst."

"Santa Claus has a church?"

Hee, Hardison's informative boards!

"I repel! Did no one see me repel?" And Eliot nagging Hardison about getting more fresh air. ♥

Eliot is so ANNOYED about the existence of guns!

Eee, Hardison jumping for joy! "Somebody gotta fight the injured, shoot, that's my niche."

HARD HATS FOR ALL.

"You gave him speed?" / "He beat up a PRIEST." Eliot thinks this is a reasonable explanation.

"I never do anything my nana says don't do." OH HARDISON. Also, "We all going to hell!", and "I'm gonna step over here so when the good Lord comes down on you all I don't get hit by the lightning."

Hardison's yellow outfit! And his grin! "You're lucky on this deadline I ain't giving you a baking soda volcano." I also love Eliot mocking his aim, and his response: "We can't all be Eliot." OH BOYS ♥
