Doctor Watson doesn't get shot in the arm (or is it leg!) so continues with his career in the Army Medical Service.

Ooh... interesting point.
From wiki on Jezail rifles,
The Jezail is most notable, at least in Western literature, as the weapon which wounded Dr. Watson—the fictional biographer of the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes—in the Battle of Maiwand during his military service in Afghanistan. In A Study in Scarlet, Watson mentions being wounded in the shoulder.[4] However, in The Sign of the Four, Watson gives the location of the wound as in his leg.[5] In "The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor" Watson refers to the Jezail bullet being "in one of my limbs." These discrepancies have caused debate by Sherlock Holmes fans about which of these locations is the "correct" location of the wound.
I expect Dr crissdee will have a view on the matter!

Mark Watney ducks so that the communications dish misses him. I confess I had to look up who that was. One series of questions in the Google list was 'Is The Martian based on a true story?" Errrr.... It is a shame that they did not include him having, as an essential piece of his kit, a red barrel.

Darth Vader advises the Emperor that the Death Star release will be delayed by a month to address a serious design flaw identified at the Release to Service Final Review. A corrective action plane for the reactor vent routing had been established, and once the action was closed & signed off by the Design Authority they could go ahead with the attack on Alderon.

Animal Farm
Mr. Jones, of the Manor Farm, had locked the hen-houses for the night, but was too drunk to remember to shut the pop-holes. He was too drunk to care. As the result of the loss of EU subsidies in the aftermath of Brexit, the Manor Farm's finances had been run into the ground. The bank had reclaimed most of his property, his wife had left him, and his son had abandoned the family business and moved to London to start a more lucrative career in IT, so he sat down at the kitchen table and turned his shotgun on himself.
