  I’m in no way suggesting anything, nor encouraging or endorsing any particular course of action, but I do note that when things are securely tied to or wrapped in a heavy object with negative buoyancy, they do sink rather fast to the bottom of the sea and stay there. Examples of such things include battleship chains and concrete boots.

  I did not have this particular one in my “Nigel does or says stupid shit” bingo card.

  Should this be classified as a crime agains humanity?

  I would always recommend paying attention to your room acoustics. Better speakers than what your TV has will make a difference, but beyond that you need to treat the room.

  If you kill immediate high frequency reflections from walls, floor and ceiling to your listening position, and reduce energy of low frequency standing waves, you make a bigger difference than spending piles of cash on new equipment. And if you have a subwoofer, play around with the placement as even fairly small shifts can have a notable impact in your listening position.

  Sort of deploying the Royal Navy to sink every small boat they can find in the channel, I’m struggling to see how he would stop the boats ™ in weeks.

  That’s one expensive takeway. I hope it was tasty.

  Is there a bigger societal waste day-in-day-out than people sitting in traffic jams? Any measure that reduces car journeys taken is a good measure in my books.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ah, the classics.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You love what you love. If others don’t, that’s cool. I quite like some songs by Nickelback, but they aren’t quite my favourite. I find myself listening to Creed from time to time and I think they are great.

  As for AB, the best band ever as far as I’m concerned. There is not a single AB album I haven’t played again and again. I’ve seen them live ten times or so, and will go see them every time I get the opportunity. And Myles could sing the phonebook and I’d still love it.

  This could be useful: www.swpc.noaa.gov/…/aurora-30-minute-forecast Also, if you ever get the opportunity, go see the northern lights inside the arctic circle. Full colours across the sky is something else. It’ll be winter time for obvious reasons, and therefore typically cold as fuck, but definitely worth it.

  I give the Tories this: they leave nobody under false impressions about what they stand for. Keep the ground rent racket going, homelessness must be a crime, being sick is no reason to skip work, mental health issues are just life’s normal ups and downs, ad infinitum. Quite charming, aren’t they.
