You're not wrong there. Allows for an abundance of smutty surface readings, but can be even tougher than a regular cryptic. I do always try to have enough checking letters, and some easier clues, to give people a fair shot though. Hope you'll crack another one out sometime if you ever get a sudden fancy for a hard one. ;)

I don't think the 'safe space' stuff is as prevalent as is reported, but it might be, I don't know. It smells of something to get people outraged about. Old statues, who cares really. Some statued figures were relevant and celebrated in one time, not so in another. Build 'em up, rip 'em down, the history books will record the good and bad.
Banning any book is abhorrent, as is banning any legal speakers. My dealer used to disagree with me about the weight of the dope he was selling me. Through that I learnt about portable scales, how to get along with people who think they have power over you, and when to shut the fuck up and run.

Firsts did seem to be the preserve of those who'd totally misunderstood the point of higher education. Or totally understood. I always found those students less fun than the rest, but consequentially far richer and with more influence than me.

Your logic doesn't stand up to any scrutiny.
The fact is a greater number and greater proportion of people are attending universities. This is not going to raise academic standards.

It is reasonable to assume that worthwhile subject matter for
University level education has not magically become objectively easier or harder since 50 years ago.
If is also reasonable to assume that humans have not evolved significantly in Britain such that we are objectively any cleverer on average than 50 years ago.
The only thing we know we have changed is that we are now putting approximately 50% of people through further education, where it would have been only the most able 10% around 50 years ago.
So either we should see an absolute truck load of people getting 3rds, or the grading standards must have been made less rigorous. Or one of the assumptions is incorrect (hint: we definitely haven't become cleverer).

Step one
from the looks of things, get a camera that can do HDR costing about £3000.
Step two, spend another £1800 on a decent lens
Step 3, spend about £1500-2000 on the computer controlled tripod for doing the smooth pans etc.
Step 4, buy Adobe creative suite for more thousands of pounds then spend six months learning how to use it
Step 5, say bollocks to all that, get a free app for your phone that can automatically take images every 10 seconds or which can also make it into a movie, put your phone on a beanbag and set it off and wait.
Here is a list of some. It is the first list link from the search `time lapse app`.

you with your electro scooter music
you should move down to Be Right-on- now officially the most hipster city in the world:

I already knew this on the basis of how many faces I want to punch between the station and the sea front.

As if Sir Patrick Stewart couldn't be any more of a gent, scholar and role model.
Not content with a 'stellar' acting career, and having spent decades setting up and supporting various charities (primarily regarding spousal abuse), he now weighs in with a considered and rational approach to, you guessed it, Br*x*t..

Seeing as Putin's goons were dicking about on Facebook and Twitter, 1.9% is far too close to call.

If we're taking numbers this demo had 1200 people in it.
200 times that amount marched against Blair and he still went to war.
Mentioning this because I suspect that gits foundation is involved in this somewhere.

1.9% is definitive
If it's 1.9% of thirty three and a half million - which it was

Nigel Farage would have something to say about that
Before the vote, he said that if it was less than 60% he wanted a second referendum...
Obviously when he won, 51% was fine...

He also made this sketch
Which they didn't release until the day after the vote.

Edit: If you want to point out that it was actually released around two months before the referendum, please form an orderly queue.

Serious, hitting the table is a thing German students do.
Bit odd in this context.

Well done
But I'm pretty sure EatYourFace pointed this out, and I copied the video without reading the timestamp on my phone. I thought I was right, and I accept that I was not.
Did you think I was trying to start a conspiracy theory, or are you trying to be helpful? Or the third option?

I'd have more respect for him and his campaign
if they had held it in Sunderland, Hull or any of the other Leave strongholds.
Holding an event in Camden with 1200 other middle class remain voters is hardly likely to change anyone's mind. Don't these people get it? You can't live in an echo chamber if you want to change things, and bringing in luvvies to lecture voters on how their betters know what's best for them worked really well last time.
Yes, I am pissed off that Remain fucked this up, but what I am more furious about is that they just keep repeating the same tired clichés that lost the vote last time.
Here's an idea - how about some positive messages about the future in the EU and how it will improve the lives of UK voters. If you can't do that then don't bother.
And they think leave voters are thick.

"The People's Vote campaign would argue that the public, not MPs, should get the final say on Brexit, he said"
yes good idea, because it's not like leaving the vote to the public has got a history of going the way of Brexit after all.
If the Remain group were going to be as disorganised in the event of winning as they were in their campaign, I struggle to think remaining would be a better option anyway.

Let's have one on the death penalty next.
And then decriminalisation of drugs.
And then one on every other issue that politicians are too craven to make a decision on themselves.

Monday night space rocket launch and landing LIVE (SLC-40)
This post has been updated with the new date/time
---
**** RESCHEDULED FOR WEDNESDAY APRIL 18th ****
23:51 GMT (22:51 UTC)
YouTube Stream Here
---
SpaceX launch and landing, ten mins before midnight Wednesday 18th - maybe get there half an hour before. The launch window is only 30 seconds, at 23:51 BST, 22:51 GMT. Haven't seen the amazing landings of Stage 1 rockets for a while. It's also on NASA.TV from around 11PM UK Time (but the SpaceX stream is better, if it's up, on their website).
This is a Falcon 9 rocket, carrying TESS, the "Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite". You might know Keplar, which found 1000+ Earth-like planets - it's similar, but will look at 400 times as much sky. The launch site is Cape Canaveral, Florida. There is a 20% chance of cancellation due to weather, in which case they'll try again on Tuesday. TESS is going into a weird orbit, a long way out (around 150,000 miles); it's a challenge to deliver it there. The Stage 1 will (hopefully) land on the drone-ship “Of Course I Still Love You” about 8 minutes after take-off. After that, it'll take about half an hour until TESS is deployed (see 'reply' for more details).
Future launches, for your diary:
April 19/20 0030-0430 Delayed, TBA Electron "It’s Business Time" from New Zealand.
This is the 3rd launch for "Rocket Lab", one of the few rivals to SpaceX, Two commercial CubeSats for weather and ship tracking, and a small GPS satellite. The previous flight was "Still Testing".
May 4 (time TBD) SpaceX Falcon 9 taking Bangabandhu comms sat, First time for new Block 5 Falcon, and landing (Delayed from April 24)
May 5, 1105-1305 GMT the huge ATLAS-V heads to Mars (arrives Nov), the NASA "Insight" mission includes a Mars rover, and all kinds of things to study the geology.
2028: Manned mission to Mars, first off-world colony. (Date and time TBA)
Bonus links: Failed landings (fun), last night's Atlas 5 launch

Some people complained about those presenters
They said he was wooden, obviously reading from a script, etc.
Personally, I'd rather see that than some slick professional presenter; it keeps it more real. Same happens with SpaceX - their last launch had an engineer, and he made mistakes (the fairing 'falling back to space' instead of Earth), but his enthusiasm came through, the glint in his eye when the solar panels opened (which he'd worked on).
