"Where should we aim the missile Vlad?"
"I dunno Ivan, maybe this massive tower covered in antennas that doesn't officially exist but has a souvenir shop and a rotating restaurant"
"Yeah, probably that one Vlad"

Fun fact about Post Office Tower (aka BT Tower, Telecom Tower, and GPO Tower):

Its location was designated an official state secret as it was of considerable importance to the UK telecommunications network

This was despite the fact that it was a just under 200m tall building in the middle of London and was, at times, open to the public, with a restaurant at the top

Yeah, it wasn't until 1996 that anyone could legally tell you where it was

lil hedgie doin a drink

@ratbaby Adrian Lester might be quite good for it

Yes

The collective noun for a group of hedgehogs is a "prickle"

The hedgehogs are surprisingly fond of lamb flavour cat food

Which has of course given me the mental image of a prickle of hedgehogs chasing and utterly failing to bring down a sheep

@BatElite RACK MOUNTED COMFY BEDS!

The house two doors up has two kittens

We know this because both of them are currently in our house

The Cray-1 supercomputer also functioned as a comfy chair

More servers should also function as comfy chairs
