I’ve never thought about having a favourite Python…but I don’t think I could see past Basil Fawlty
The podcast also has a discussion of recent thrillers, and this list of thrillers by country…which would be handy if you’re off on holiday and want to scare yourself silly before you go
I enjoyed the detail that if the pre-obituary writer was going to check some detail with the subject of the obituary, they would say it was ‘for your biographical file’
.@margalitfox also discusses being an obituary writer, which reminded me of a school trip I went on, back in the Stone Age, to a national newspaper where we saw the filing-cabinet which contained the ‘pre-obituaries’
They showed us just one of the articles
Really good @nytimesbooks podcast with @margalitfox discussing Arthur Conan Doyle’s involvement in the case of Arthur Slater who did 18 years hard labour for a crime he didn’t do

Just wasted 10 minutes trying to convert a csv to something else using convertto-csv rather than convertfrom-csv
More caffeine needed #Powershell
This is CLEARLY because Chief Executives are all doing such an AWFULLY GOOD JOB

Unless we’re actually on our feet in close proximity to someone could we all stop saying ‘I stand with’, to indicate political agreement

Who’d have thought it?
Try reading this sentence to yourself in the voice of Donald Trump, or Boris Johnson
It works quite well
“I was present at wreath-laying but don’t think I was involved”
The podcast is a discussion with @Redblaes about his piece on Andy Murray winning Wimbledon
It’s rather good
“A Scotsman winning Wimbledon is akin to a Fijian winning the downhill skiing gold at the Winter Olympics and a Muscovite taking the bow as the world’s best surfer”
