"I shouldn't be playing forward; I should be here, in the centre."
Jamie may be thriving in his new role on the pitch, but that doesn't mean he won't have a slight identity crisis when some things are pointed out to him.

“No, wait. I’ve got one more present that needs to be opened.”
And that’s pretty much the exact moment Christmas dinner becomes very surreal. Because stamped across the top of the front sheet in a lovely purple font are the words ‘Adoption Expression of Interest’.

Summary
Ohhh, David realises as he gets handed a plate. Okay, I got it. He was surprised that Bobby’s son hadn’t come up when Michael first mentioned his children given how much emphasis he put on the positive co-parenting relationship their family unit strived to maintain.

Summary
A look into the Personal Logs of a Linguist on Deep Space Nine, who is uncovering the funniest and sweetest translation errors, and trying to patch the UT along the way.
***
And if you had asked Lieutenant Wittgenstein, who was currently tasked with the next report on the use of the UT on Deep Space Nine, which was a special case, what with all the Gamma Quadrant languages mingling in the matrix now, nevermind the decidedly casual language the UT was being exposed to at Quarks, she could have told you a number of things. The UT memory bank transcripts, heavily encrypted and for the linguists’ eyes only, of course, were littered with missed moments, lost meanings, and mix-ups. For instance…- Language:
