I would love to know what happened between the judges that caused this absolutely bonkers outcome. The Testaments was a weak sequel in itself, which also undermined The Handmaid's Tale by overexplaining the backstory. It should never have even made the longlist, let alone end up joint winner.

If it's divisible by 3, it's threeven. If not divisible by 3, it's throdd.

Was pleasantly surprised by the pre-EVOL SY vibes on The New Eves last single

I spent quite a lot of time chasing that possibility 20+ years ago. Such a great track.

Are you having the Dry Stout or the India Export Porter w/that?

Bloody hell this is incredible!

I mean, I am not sure I could have kept quiet about it. Not least because it means Kat is now only one degree of separation from the last pope!

And if you know Kat, you will be aware that that is no mean feat. Anyway, thanks very much for book Tricia, and I'm glad to hear that the grindup.com is still going strong!

When Kat got home was v.excited and extremely keen to tell the story and give me the book right away, but I'm v.hardcore about not getting presents early, so I refused both the present and the telling of its acquisition. Which has meant she's managed to keep it bottle up for nearly two weeks.

Who explained that the book wasn't out for another two days. But, presumably on seeing Kat's disappointment, she then went on to pull out her own copy from her bag, and *gave it to Kat*!

This was partially because there were a couple of folks having a conversation in front of the shelf where it could have been. Kat politely asked if she could take a look, only for one of them to turn round and actually *be* Tricia herself.

Any night out where you get to wang on abt Bell inequalities while having it large is a good one IMO

These are awesome! They make me v.nostalgic for the horrors that ppl came up with on SwiftKey hack days. Some got released as working April fools' (e.g. Tilt and Flow Hard) but my all time fave was the one that enabled you to type in morse code by plugging and unplugging the headphone jack.

And also I have definitely aged much more noticeably in those last ten years - I blame the Tunnicliffe neck genes

FWIW ten years ago I had folks I worked with being staggered I was in my late thirties as well. I think a combo of cleaner air in cities, wearing sunscreen, and either not having kids, or having them later all make a difference as well.

The garden care manual for gardens is about reconciling adversarial internal systems. It begins with exercises for identifying sub-personalities, and follows those with integration meditation. It's considered a psychohazard

I am extremely excited about this!

Is it leaking, or just dripping? Asking cos fixing the latter might be doable yrself...
