Yeah I knew a guy who did his whole PhD in the Netherlands, and though he desperately wanted to learn, no-one he knew would teach him Dutch.

“But boss, won’t users just find that stuff?”

No. Because we’re going to make it look really shitty.

“How shitty you want it, boss?”

It has to be illegible. If I can read anything, you’re fired. And the switch that’s supposed to turn this stuff off should just make it look bad in a different way.

True. I think they're going for the ramp up from last week, but it could have come quicker.

Reminds me a bit of S1 of Slow Horses. Sooo nearly gave up then it finally picked up in the penultimate episode.

The running jokes are fun too. But yeah I blame Severance for the ponderous pacing precedent.

Apparently it's shaped like a tongue and surrounded by padding.

Okay one formative, one silly and meta :)

I think it's probably more that the Tories will need to form a coalition with these revamped Putin-supported fascists so they're counting on having Nick Clegg style leverage over tax policy and non-dom stuff in a party where they are much bigger fish. After all Brexit was always about tax avoidance.
