Does Conan Doyle Believe ... ?

Commission X6, Radio 4,

As a side note, how can these lads get typesetting and font correct, yet no one in a television props department ever can?

Ah, yes. Reform UK. "A movement built by real people." All smiling and clasping their hands in EXACTLY the same way.

I'd love to see the prompts that generated this.

My assumption is he means this test, which he treats as “they test to see how big my brain is” but that is instead used to test cognitive decline and even to look for damage post-stroke, correct?

When adjusting our clocks for British Summer Time and Greenwich Mean Time, we are always reminded by the saying "Spring forward, fall back." However, my mate Alberto is an acrobat in a circus and during his performance he sometimes springs back sometimes forward and sometimes falls forward, sometimes back. Over the years the clocks in his caravan have got so out of synch that he has a roaring fire in July and wears shorts and flip flops in January. Horlicks the clown, Somewhere-on-the-road

Of course she has. The small matter of owing £122 million to UK taxpayers for her disgusting profiteering in a global pandemic means nothing to Michelle Mone.

NHS staff died in my hospital from the Covid they caught there - her dodgy PPE racket was vile.

A warning has been issued after fake letters were posted through letterboxes, claiming people would have to house refugees if they flew St George's flag. The letter said that "patriotic" households displaying the country's flag will temporarily house refugees because ‘we know you would be proud to assist your country’.

lol.

I have a dim memory of noticing that the version of Close to the Edit on one of the early "Hits" compilations had it's stereo reversed

Plaid Cymru GAIN Caerphilly from Labour.

A spokesman said Brucie found the news "hair raising"

Trump was probably watching Scooby Doo, so he's now distracted sending the army after retired caretakers of abandoned funfairs instead.

He'll refuse to ever move out, because he claims to have paid for a bit of it. "anyway, it's not called the white house anymore. It's the Gold House. Beautiful House, everyone says so."

The Goodies have let themselves go.

1 Nurse: It’s become a real problem in this area 2 Nurse: We’ve seen the whole community lost to addiction 3 Show a building sign posted: Westminster ‘X’ Addiction Clinic With various Westminster people or looking at their phones outside it Nurse: Ministers, Spads, Researchers… 4 Nurse: Most mornings we’ll get a call about someone acting strangely [Nurse on phone taking a call] Ok - we’ll be right over 5 Nurse: We just have a gentle chat [Nurses approach a minister –Robert Jenrick? - standing in the Palace of Westminster Minister: I understand your concerns… 6 Nurse: Are you OK love? Minister: Yes I’m just hearing legitimate concerns from real voters 7 Nurse: That’s a robot, a Nazi and a poorly-disguised Russian [Show that the people he is talking to are precisely these characters] Nurse 2: Give us your phone, love 8 Nurse: At the clinic we put them in a Grass-Touching Pod, with a real voter to talk to [We see them back at the clinic, holding the minister's head and pushing him into a glass isolation booth with a grass floor. And it is a baffled looking woman, on a chair, ready to talk to him.] 9 Minister: YOU MUST BE WORRIED ABOUT THE COMING CIVIL WAR [woman looks baffled] 10 woman: I just want a bus service Minister: LOOK AT MY FLAG [produces a St George's flag] [ends]

Looks like the Saudis no longer do limb amputation as punishment for theft. That's presumably why Jimmy Carr still has two hands after using Bridget Christie's joke.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Lush has a Scooby-Doo tie-in range, and they've really missed the opportunity to have a bath bomb shaped like a ghost which fizzes away to reveal a normal man inside.

I remember discovering it late night in mid 1985 on TVS, so maybe that was a repeat run or TVS hadn't previously shown it.

I reckon Big Farmer are behind this

There's a scheme to infiltrate the national trust with people from Tufton streets anti woke "Restore Trust", so I suspect this is a bit of rabble rousing to get NT members to vote for one of his mates

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, please put your hands together for Max Beasley and Cheeky Monkey!"

I have long coveted a teasmade, but their big downfall is storing the milk. You've still got to go get the milk from the fridge, unless you have a fridge next to the bed as well.

A recent rabbit hole after seeing an old ad for "National Benzole Mixture" led me to discover that National petrol stations used to sell a special mix of petroleum and an extract from British coal.

Please join me in congratulating Woman on her appointment

It changed some time ago, people with diabetes who use it to treat low blood sugar were told to be careful and re-calculate how much they need. Have they messed with it again?

Some good news.

London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.

The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.
