Passing the Torch

It occurs to me that, despite the death of the boss Bad Guy in Star Wars VIII, some of his supporters may still attempt to carry out his plans.

Would it be fair to call that second-hand Snoke?

Superfluity

A few days ago, I decided that it was time to use my long-dormant online banking account. Unfortunately, I'd forgotten not just the password but the username. Checking the FAQ, I saw that this problem could be dealt with by phoning :number: or e-mailing :address:. Being rather averse to telephoning strangers, I chose the latter option.

Today, I received an e-mailed response. It advised me to call :number:.

I'm feeling rather peeved by this.
