To be fair the words ‘kazoo’, and ‘Swanee whistle’ are funny in themselves
Of all art forms I think comedy is the most in the eye of the beholder
I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue, in particular, and @BBCRadio4 comedy in general, has moments of genius…… but they just had people playing the Monty Python song on a kazoo and a swanee whistle t.co/lIQfU9On7…
The eternal dilemma of political analysis, to which I was introduced in my days as an undergraduate at the London School of Economics
Conspiracy or cock-up?
Increasing, most of the time, I think the answer is ‘both’
Hugo Rifkind @hugorifkind
Spare me from the constant Twitter conspiracy theories about Story X being released as a distraction from Story Y. This never happens. It’s chaos out there. Nobody is in charge of anything
Went to the office y’day to pick up the contents of my locker, abandoned since March last year
It was a bit like Christmas Day, but one when I was on the naughty list - grubby Post-Its, out-of-date aspirin, dead biro’s and old tea bags
There were a couple of treasures though t.co/gRbfI9FP1…
I’m not convinced
“They aren’t going to do a leak inquiry. The thinking is that you could argue that whoever did it was a whistleblower. If someone was whistleblowing, putting sensitive information into the public domain, they deserve to be protected”
RT @davidhepworth: When I was young politicians apologised and pop stars didn’t.
I can’t help feeling I’d be better protected if I’d had a jab in each arm, rather than both in the same one
The Poet Laureate on ‘Tainted Love’
“I felt like I was hallucinating. It was so sexy, sleazy, cheap, luxurious, lush, intimate. I’d never heard anything like it”
Enjoyed a trip this morning up to Andover, which is where I work, or used to work, or work for contractual and legal purposes or something
Disappointed that one of my favourite buildings in the world is all scaffolded up, though
Much like @petercmoore’s foot
:)
I’ve only seen two of these.
Must try harder.
I’m going to need to revise my Christmas list
Six short months ‘til Christmas 🎄
My word of the day today is ‘shoestring’.
Today I am wondering whether the phrase ‘Space Invader’ was much used before David Bowie put it in Moonage Daydream and Taito used it for their computer game
I like the sub-title of the @humanleagueHQ’s greatest hits anthology record
My word of the day today is ‘curdle’.
This likely applies only to my environment :) ….and just to be clear I really like Windows Terminal!
To make it more search-able, it’s
Windows cannot find ‘C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.8.1444.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\WindowsTerminal.exe’. Make sure you’ve typed the name correctly, then try again.
#TodayILearned that to run Windows Terminal as admin, I have to temporarily grant admin to my ‘normal’ user, then run as admin, then revoke admin from the normal user. #WindowsTerminal
I don’t want to go back to commuting regularly but today’s jaunt was rather lovely t.co/SZA4wkACh…
