Shit, I remember this one.
Just leave me out by the bins.

Still, let's not overlook the weight gain aspect.

I get the distinct impression that A level English has more to do with literary analysis and comprehension than being able to speak it. (I also don't have it.)

If you'd told me this was "Selling England..." era Genesis, I'd have believed you unquestioningly.

I've heard it's definitely Worcester, but annoyingly, I can't remember where I heard this.

BMI is absolute nonsense. It tries to apply a linear rule to a volumetric measurement, which is embarrassingly poor science by any reasoning.

PSA: Boots normally charges £18 for its Covid test bundle, but today you can get it for £10 in the Ten-Quid Tuesday deal.

The bundle is 2 packs of 5 tests each, so 10 tests in total.

We're currently in a Covid wave, so it's a really good idea to have some test kits in the house just in case!

+1. It just does what I want, and almost nothing I don't want.

Not sure where the millipede fits into the scheme of things, but they're both great pictures.

It's quite possible there's some great stuff out there, but if so it's a vanishingly tiny proportion of the whole.

Dialogue should be within speech marks – I’m reading a story not grappling with a sudoku.

Alright, crafty people - I'd like to print several meters of good quality fabric for making Roman blinds. Where's a good value place that prints your own designs onto fabric? I used Woven Monkey before, but that was over £10/m for a very simple cotton 😬

Exactly this. All of it.

Apparently it's 46 pages not episodes. English to Japanese translator.

Still looking for someone, haven't found a single person so far (that I can contact). I have a 46-episode script that I need translated. This would be a paid job!

Sena Bryer @senabryer.com · 11d

Completely unrelated to my 2am doomposting but does anyone know an English to Japanese translator, ideally with experience in screenplays?

Went through them, muting a few of the worst, but there were a surprising number that I'd already muted. The system is starting to work.

Pearls were clutched when the Ascot dialing code was discontinued and The Great And The Good were lumped in with Bracknell.

I never thought of Ickford having its own exchange. Live and learn.
