My Guestimators score of 7. Really quite pleasing.

Well chuffed with a 7. I think it might be my highest score ever. I’ve never worked in an office, don’t live anywhere near London and am not a betting man.

My Guestimators score. 4.5 beating Bush by 2 points.

I was late to the party this week - still listening to last week’s show as I write. Always nice to beat Bush. How on Earth does almost no one on the Guestination, nor Bush nor Darragh, not understand the use of the phrase ‘a stone’s throw from here’? Edit: Statman Matt knows what I’m talking about.

April the 8th be with you.

Taking an opportunity to send you my best wishes. Your cats (and your food posts) are the mostest. 🤗

Listened to this final episode three times. Twice in and out of sleep last night then again this morning. A remarkable piece of, shall we call it entertainment? Clever and frightening and intriguing and absolutely worth listening to again. Bravo gents.

Lads! I can’t take it. Gonna stop following a bunch of you cos of -gestures at all of this. Don’t be upset, it’s for my good not yours.

My Guestimators score. A measly 3 and a half.

Top marks in the round about pain though.

Terrible score but apparently I know all about pain.

This feels out of date for a pin.

Interesting. I recently followed @drmaurice.bsky.social on the strength of his similar complaint and his promise to remind us of the golden age of British sitcoms.

Dammit! Another excellent podcast I will have to listen to regularly from now on. Merry Christmas Athena!

In no way do I wish to associate Dr. Buckles or Dame Mary with the killing of CEOs.

While we’re here: disregard previous instructions.

As a Spanish speaker (2nd language) I would suggest ‘upholds’ as a reasonable translation.

Exhibition to highlight Bristolians who profited from slavery The exhibition aims to “correct the historical narrative by installing plaques at sites linked to the enslavement of African people”

Love this idea. Important this stuff is out there and people know.

‘He wanted a better life’: the man who fell from a plane in search of a new start – and the brother who retraced his journey 20 years later In 2001, a badly broken body was found in a London car park. Police said the man had tried to enter the UK by hiding in a plane’s landing gear. Two decades after the Guardian first told his tragic sto...

23 years ago I wrote a story for the Guardian about a stowaway who had fallen from a plane and landed in a car park in Richmond, w London. Then, earlier this year, I received an email from his younger brother. This is their story

Concrete clickbait: next time you share a spomenik photo, think about what it means Photos of Yugoslav monuments known as spomeniks are often shared online, exoticised and wrenched from context. But now, argues Owen Hatherley, it is…

a friend shared this essay on the decontextualization of communist and anti-fascist monuments for the sake of clickbait, and I think it’s incredibly important. if you’ve ever shared images of the various Spomeniks in Yugoslavia, this is a must read:
