I suggest we consider Mandy Rice-Davies be quoted in regard MI5's denial. (Little could she have thought as she first uttered those words that they would still be both echoing and attributed to her.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandy_Rice-Davies

How about this?: "Franchise" is a science fiction short story by American writer Isaac Asimov. It first appeared in the August 1955 issue of the magazine If: Worlds of Science Fiction, and was reprinted in the collections Earth Is Room Enough (1957) and Robot Dreams (1986). It is one of a...

I think it's one of those dyslexic vegan lab workers to blame. One of them came across a bottle with a label "carnivorous" and, disapproving of it, thought they'd throw it out. Or, to explain how it has spread: I love my friends, and they love me, We're just as close as we can be. And just...

Quite a balanced colum. Mair called it right. Just starting on the comments - already had some wry amusement.

By the way folks, Eustice says that chlorinated chicken is no longer an issue. Most of the USA no longer uses that out-dated technology. They do the same thing but with lactic acid... So that's all right then. (Lactic acid appears to increase shelf-life.)

As exams used to say, compare and contrast: How will brexit impact flat earth? I think after brexit the truth that the earth is flat will finally come out. The british economy will collapse and they won't have the funds to continue the cover up and it will slowly start to unravel. This is one...

If you can't say something nice about a person, try the truth. :) Veteran broadcaster David Dimbleby brands Boris Johnson a 'liar' that nobody trusts Veteran BBC broadcaster David Dimbleby has told German media that Boris Johnson is a liar that nobody trusts, who has become 'arrogant with...

Will Hutton can be convoluted towards the unreadable end of the scale. But in this article, he is very straightforward: Last week, an unelected special adviser delivered one of the most political and controversial speeches made by a British public official in recent times. It claimed, in...

The obvious answer has been missed. Send everything to him on a PM twitter account. Perhaps tweets are short enough? (No links allowed, of course.) So he doesn't just appear to be out of touch and poorly briefed... By the way, is that two A4 sides double-spaced?

Looks pretty clear from that... :(

Not quite word perfect, and miles from note perfect, but I remember so many of his songs, and even the intros. If only he were still writing.

Which reminds me...

If we could identify which subset of the population is most likely to suffer most, and which are most likely to die, then we could target any cure. Trouble seems to be that there are few, if any, hints as to who is most at risk. If we don't know who, we might decide it is best to try to treat...

Possibly no-one would be offered the cure until they had been tested. Hence, more doses of test than cure (assuming not every test is positive).

Just think how big an audience you might have! Especially if half of China is off work and watching television/streaming.

I suspect that weight and your judgement, assuming it really is based on experience, is likely better than an electrical measurement. So much depends on precisely how the probes connect. However, as a confirmation, and out of interest, yes, do let us know.

Can't be right. It has "HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE" in the middle. The metallic bit still looks out of focus to my eyes. How do you recycle a passport? Given the fusing of the polycarbonate and paper it would appear to be impossible. Oh, and why is he on an aeroplane? Thought he was hiding in...

Though not everyone is convinced of the meaning of the figures: Flash estimates for the UK’s manufacturing sector showed output hit its highest level in 10 months with PMI coming in at 51.9. However, some analysts noted that increased delivery times which were factored the data actually amount...

Dolor ergo sum. ???

Am I paranoid? Just why compare to a grain of rice? Could it be that there is an intentional attempt to point a finger at rice growers? That is, China. (Not by you, Danidl, it has many times been used.) Rice: The edible seed is a grain (caryopsis) 5–12 mm long and 2–3 mm thick. And weighs...
