@keefeglise I think the congestion charge might have a special clause for that

How could I forget, here's the UK version

@groda.eu the signs are clear. He must have a low reading ability in English (as well as ignoring the announcements on board)

@keefeglise arguably where I am (north Abingdon) the bus service is still good enough except for very late nights… I got assigned I think 25 day driving passes as a nearby resident, but I probably drive into Oxford only 4 of 5 times a year tops, so I have a strong interest in the bus getting a […]

@keefeglise it’s the most watered down scheme ever. The level of resistance is arguably bonkers. But I guess there are some people who lose out a bit for their dependency on frequent car journeys to the centre area.

@bencurthoys our database does not permit nuance, and no, you may not have ampersands

There’s a very funny story in Section 44.2 about what happened when they tried to use it to solve a Smullyan-style logic puzzle (you know the sort of thing – one guard always tells the truth, the other always lies, etc.)

@christianp and in fact the people selling them are pleased to get them to a good home. I think it’s a completely different market or market segment from mp3s because the physical object is perceived as a burden

@christianp it’s kind of satisfying they don’t end up in landfill

@christianp wow - can I unpack that - is it that there exists a mountain of already printed CDs that are being sold off cheaper than the (essentially entirely made up price of mp3 download) or do you think there is some kind of print-on-demand CD for the niche market of people who still want the […]

@keefeglise better meaning… bigger? Better insulated? With better transport links? With all mod cons? It’s so hard to compare, though I think I see where you are going. The baseline has improved but the housing wealth distribution has shifted away from young professionals

@robinhouston the joint system of mathematician and computer triumphs again. Computers need us more than they admit

Husain lets him off far too easily, I'm afraid. I'm sure 'time was against us', or some such.

Farage knows how to play this game.
