One day he'll find "his tribe" and won't look back. I'm not a train guy myself but you've got a follow from me.

It's a solid classic. I think of it often. Sadly I am neither hot nor a girl

One nice detail that can easily be lost in this graph - even right wingers trust the BBC more than the right wing tabloids

That kind of block can be implemented anywhere, including (if you're running your own web server) just serving up a different page to a block of IPs.

I maintain that in Wordle type games, if you get the correct answer but with two letters swapped, where both are valid words, and your previous guesses wouldn't have indicated the correct positioning, you should still win!

Let’s take a look at the whole β€œthere are too many black people on TV” thing, shall we?

After Pochin claimed Black people in TV adverts β€œmade her mad”, all her supporters tried to use πŸ‘‡πŸΌ as their excuse for why she was somehow justified in her overt racism.

Spoiler - she isn’t! 🀨

I was lucky enough to be in the second row and was watching Wrigglesworth. I’m a very poor drummer but even I can see how complex his parts are. What a joy!

I enjoyed the post already, but there are some good follow-ups in the replies. Now I want to hear the whole thing sing-whispered over a ukulele on a John Lewis advert

Oh of course! I had a device in my hand that could have told me that and yet I still went with an "I Recon..!". My reply-guy training is obviously kicking in.

With 10 eps I wonder if the original plan was two weeks of Mon-Fri but they then decided to ride it out longer.

BBC Radio 4 - More or Less: Behind the Stats, Day light saving time and heart attacks Does the sudden loss of an hour of sleep raise the risk of having a heart attack?

Well I’ve found the ep of MorL I was thinking of (www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p... ) and it doesn’t include that claim so I don’t know where I got it from or if it’s actually true.

There was a More Or Less about the heart attack thing... something like there are more heart attacks after (one of?) the clock change weekends BUT the average number over the whole week is the same, so it doesn't cause more heart attacks, it just makes them happen a bit sooner.

It had my AI senses tingling, especially coupled with the mention of β€œgive your score in the comments section below” when there was no comments section BUT wayback machine shows the page has been online since 2021 and was correct in Dec 2023 so I think your CMS migration theory is very likely.

Really enjoyed this ep Gemma. Very glad the podcast came back after its break and the pairing hadn’t split.

I believe that in the US a study showed that storms with female names resulted in higher injuries because sadly people didn’t take them as seriously.
