what I have learned today.

[Gattopardo]

When I was at Univac in 1975 a colleague was done for pirating music cassettes.

Home taping is killing music.

[Beardy]

That leaving the EU will damage the UK economy. Well I never .........

What do experts know. 

And lets not forget the 350 million we will be getting.

Apparently it’s Project Fear and the figures are unreliable. No matter that these are the government’s own figures, you know the governement whose policy is Brexit.
Satirists are going to have to work very hard when all this is over, if they are ever going to revive satire.

Sadly, satire died on the table some time back. They tried hard to revive it, but in the end, the doctors had to declare.

Well it is what was voted for.

But then I am just trolling

At a guess you heard the same item on radio 4, when a cartoon satirist was being interviewed.

Sadly, I've never listened to Radio 4 in my life, but it seems we're on the same wavelength.

And the day after I lead the Panzers down Whitehall, Gammons who think they're being frightfully witty in replying "Fake news!!1!" to articles they've either not read or not understood will be in the reëducation camps reading the Daily Mail all day every day until their heads melt.

What, instead of sitting at home reading the Volkischer Beobachter Daily Mail all day every day? It won't affect their heads - reading that rag every day has already melted their branes. That's *why* they're gammons.

Might have been something on TV...I can't remember accurately.

[matthew]

No it was Radio 4 this morning who had based the Today program in Belfast and had a Northern Irish Comic on. The Skit was around how NI couldn't have different regulations than GB with regards to the EU whilst not having same sex marriage, Abortion rights ... ... ... multiple other examples of different regulations. But the DUP are adamant that NI must not have different regulations for trading with Europe.

Yesterday rather than today, but still...

Cellulose thinners and Jakar cutting mats do not play nicely together. Oh well never mind; cutting mats aren't terribly expensive.

Thank you for that - I have a new cutting mat, yet to be used.  It would have been a shame to destroy it early in life.  I increasingly use acetone as a solvent - how do mats get on with that?  And SWMBO now raids my 1 litre bottle - something to do with her war paint I'm advised.

Taht the passport 'service' (HA!) is staffed by utter spanners.

Sounds like a story behind that...

[Torslanda]

You could well be right!

so for or against?

Onza Chill Pills appear to be worth money. I have two unused pairs, BNIB.

When writing the word "ditto" in lower-case, cursive, script, it is wise to close the loop on the "d"!

Also, it is not advisable to scribble "Clint Eastwood" in a hurry.

That Lerwick is on approximately the same latitude as Helsinki.  As is Teslin YT, which is where I was when I learned this.

Whereas I was in Lerwick...

[ElyDave]

One of the coldest weeks I've spent was on a platform midway between Shetland and Bergen, Norway, in December with the wind from the North [where's that "brrrr" smiley?]

[hellymedic]

I'm surprised it wasn't in the fens, with that 'lazy' wind that's travelled uninterrupted, straight from Siberia...

[Cudzoziemiec]

I think I'd probably have guessed Lerwick to be north of Helsinki. But I'd have been wrong, clearly.

[ElyDave]

Picture the north sea, same wind, just closer to siberia

[hellymedic]

Suppose so. I felt colder in Cambridge than in Lerwick.
