This is like a team-up of my early/mid 00s memories: chatting on the Bad Science forum by day, watching Buffy/repeats by evening (some PhD research done at some point).
(and that's now my local supermarket...)
Giles Martin
In 2009 I bought a ludicrous old vampire cape from a charity shop in Bath. Then I went to the supermarket. But my new cape manifested... at the Waitrose checkout... through its own magical powers... Giles from Buffy. RIP, what a magical hero.
