There were- genuinely- people on the streets who beleived in this nutter trying to hand out flyers about the end of the world to the Buddhist monks. The monks were very politely uninterested.

And I agree with the person who said 'bin the whole show'. A good magic show is always ruined when it's diluted with too much chit-chat, celebrity placement and audience-poll participation. Lenny Henry's never been funny and if i were Premier Inn, i'd seriously think about looking at that contract of theirs too.

This is a normal post Interesting stuff.
I find a lot of titles in scientific journals utterly soul-destroying in their literalism: too many take the form "X is Y". That's not a title. That's a conclusion.

Thankfully, you do find the occasional title that's more creative; more thankfully, titles (and whole papers) in the humanities - and I spend more time reading humanities papers than scientific ones - are much less likely to be literalistic. Some are even quite jokey: there's nothing so heartwarming as a paper whose title is a good, or terrible, pun...
