So, Britain has been relegated to the bottom tier of the Davis Cup and can look forward in the future to playing against teams of the stature of Surinam, Namibia, Bhutan, Andorra, and the Maldives (I'm guessing here, I don't follow tennis closely enough to know the real composition of the group, but I'm probably not far wrong).

However what I'm looking forward to is when we lose against that opposition and get relegated again down into the All-Penguin AU Davis Cup. Kaark!

I stumbled upon NCIS showing on FX recently and watched a few episodes. I knew of the show only through crossover fanfic, with BtVS and with Stargate SG-1, and was interested in finding out what it was like in its own right and how the characters compare with their portrayals in fanfic.

I was rather surprised. Gibbs was much taller and thinner than I had pictured him, and much more of an officer-class type, whereas McGee was much plumper and dimmer. I hadn’t expected Caitlin to be so beautiful and never in a thousand years would I have guessed that Ducky was played by David McCallum.

Most of all, however, I was surprised by how bad the show is at the science aspect and the firearms. It was Season 1, and therefore pre-dated Mythbusters, and that can be their only excuse. I won’t be watching it regularly – not even for Abby.
