CaraCompass I went to the science museum last week. While I was there, my bank card fell from my pocket and was lost amidst the crowd. I ran to security -
“Hm. We’ll call lost and found.”
“No,” says another guard, “they’re not enough. You have to call The Control Room.”

simonblackwell @dollyalderton @TheSTMagazine In the sitcom I did recently I wanted to have someone say (not sing) the words “imagine no possessions”. It was legaled out. Was told we’d have to pay for the lyric. So, ironically, the Lennon Estate owns the words “imagine no possessions”.

@ghostfinder The Collector’s Edition appears virtually the same. Claims 14:9 on the box. Crop seems same from what I’ve looked through. The frames actually seem a teensy bit wider, but no higher! (First pic original, second pic Collector’s) pic.twitter.com/1jhOMpavlW

@ghostfinder It seems worth taking a punt on the “Collector’s Edition” DVD (maybe secondhand) just to see what’s different…

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to ghostfinder

@ghostfinder Yes, even I can tell something odd’s going on: it sure as heck isn’t 4:3 when it plays, is it? Didn’t know it was a crop down.
