Exactly this. Litterally the only show the four of us watch together and enjoy! And I've actually found myself watching the Ed gamble thing after wards a lot too (my kids peel off for that bit!)

The idea that as many as 9% of the public have heard of Rupert Lowe is laughable

an interesting segment on "more or less" ( bbc radio show) about how the collapse is largely due to how the rate is calculated and impacted by mums having kids later. Total kids for 47 year olds is 1.95x now which is not much lower than 20 yrs ago. But trend is still down (and later will = fewer)

Yeah i had a desk calender with a strip a day. I'll confess that as a young office worker in the early '00s I quite liked it. The one with the boss trying to land a plane using Excel resonated with me, for example!

Not sure I buy the argument that landlords increase rent to make up for lower house price increases? As has always been the case, they charge what the market will bear! And in theory lower house prices should feed through (although it's a wierd market with all the tax and regulatory barriers)

I did @nigella.bsky.social's chicken with 40 garlic cloves today (I used 42!) and it was excellent. Also really easy!

That's not a rate of return. It's a profit margin. It also defaults to charging donors a voluntary 17%, and people probably think it's a charity rather than basically donating to a PE firm!

I heard the scientist on today say these drugs have been around for 20 years for diabetes (albeit lower dose) and no evidence of long term harm

Does make it feel like a big marketing stunt! I guess they have your id and credit card details should you do something illegal (which prob also acts as a disinsentive), but yes agree

"Have you ever... Have you ever felt like this? Have strange things happened? Are you going round the twist?" Still an ear worm 35 years later!

Rare earth minerals are not actually that rare. They are just messy to process and require a fairly complex value chain. So don't think that helps them (that's not to say trump doesn't think it might!)

Hard agree. And It always amazes me how many people also have this view! Are some of people just garlic obsessed? I have never thought, having tasted my cooking with multiples of the garlic suggested "that's too much garlic".

That is ahead in the polls, though. I think they do need to be reported, but more critically

No, but something is clearly broken if you are assessed for £5m of value when no one would pay £5m for it

But why is it worth £5m if no one would buy it for £5m? Why not say it is worth £1m? They don't wnat to sell it anyway. I would probably have had the same reaction as the minister (but then I know nothing about the sector - and as you say, you'd hope the people making decisions do the work!)
