I don't post more than two in a row. Usually.
I think two is OK. Especially when it's so damn quiet that a day can pass with zero posts.

but he's been trying to learn the guitar since lockdown began. Unfortunately the pain killers have had some seriously ketaminesque side-effects and he's never had much sense of rhythm, but it hasn't stopped him from getting the gig on the new Ian Brown single. Bravo, Nathan.

Perhaps using the comments to identify people who should be isolated would be more effective than the track and trace system?
Genuinely baffling that so many people seem to think he is some sort of musical genius and visionary, rather than just a rich, entitled fool.

I was surprised at how good it was. It had 3 or 4 filler episodes and one or two cheapo bottle episodes but the first 3 and last 2 were top notch.

This is your Arachnoid mater.
Inspired by the post about black-and-white mentals... it's sad that the dude with hydrocephalus - if born today - would be cured with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt.
A thingy which was invented, in part, by Roald Dahl. Yes, him wot wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
He was also an ace fighter pilot, BTW.

It was something that was mentioned on a Richard Herring podcast at one point and I can't remember which one. Take with a pinch of salt, but given his well-known shittiness I don't think I'm besmirching a good name.
Edit: Couldn't find the particular reference, but I came across this astonishing batshittery.
Edit 2: Found it. It was the Charlie Higson RHLSTP, pertinent part starts at 58 minutes.

Accusing someone of being "a bit noncey" and then wondering if you were making it up seems like the wrong way to go about things...
Why not just quote exactly what Higson said?
p.s. Dahl's misanthropy, racism and anti-semitism had been discussed at great length. Here's one example: www.bbc.com/culture/article/20160912-the-dark-side-of-roald-dahl
He wrote some fantastic, brilliantly dark, books for kids, however. It's the old conundrum of whether the failings of the artist are relevant to appreciation of the art.

I remembered the accusation that he made inappropriate comments about little girls' knickers. I then said that I heard he was a bit noncey. This is the normal way to go about things.
Being asked to cite something and being glad my memory isn't faulty in this respect is not the same as thinking I was making it up.
If you can't work out why I didn't quote Higson in the first comment, the clues are in the follow ups.
And yes, Dahl was a cunt despite all of that.

The links suggests that Dahl was rude, inappropriate, and hated children.
That's very different from "a bit noncey".

Making inappropriate comments about little girls' knickers is indeed inappropriate, it's also a bit noncey imo.

"There's a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it's a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews. I mean there is always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere; even a stinker like Hitler didn't just pick on them for no reason." (interviewed by the New Statesman, 1983)

Our glorious UK government appears to have abandoned plans to spend £5bn building our own GPS system (into which we'd already invested £450m resuscitating OneWeb, a bankrupt broadband satellite company).
The system was to replace the EU's Galileo GPS system (into which we'd already invested over £1bn) which we foolishly abandoned after the Brexit vote.
The UK Space Agency appears to be lobbying to reverse the stupid Galileo decision. Best of British luck with that.

According to Huffington:
"The company will go bust owing nearly £2m – made up of £1.2m to trade and expense creditors, a £400,000 loan, £323,000 in directors loans and a £100 corporation tax bill to HMRC."

This is bailing out an America-based broadband satellite company that does not make GPS satellites and whose satellites cannot support a GPS network, in order to replace a dedicated European military grade GPS satellite system that we'd already paid for and didn't need to abandon.
This is GB once again developing a first class space capability at great expense only to walk away from it for no good reason. GB remains the only country to have ever done this.
