Because most people struggle with arithmetic, let along them log things. Don't you like the cut of their algibra? Slightly more seriously, if you have an 85" tele and turn it into portrait orientation, you'd still struggle to meaningfully see 10, 100, 1000 and, god forbid, 10,000, vertically.

Gove's pants are on fire. Gosh - that is a horrible image, sorry. UK ministers accused of overstating scale of coronavirus testing Government around 3,000 tests short of meeting claimed target of 10,000 a day Ministers have been accused of overstating the scale of coronavirus testing in the...

Tact is definitely not in armoury of the Channel 5 schedulers. I was just looking at what is on this evening and happened to notice that right now we could be watching: Today...

I didn't even know he was gay... Prince Charles comes out Ha! Should have read a bit further: Prince Charles comes out of self-isolation Prince Charles, who announced last week that he had tested positive for Covid-19, is now out of self-isolation.

Pity he didn't, and doesn't, always speak so sensibly.

DC as well! Dominic Cummings self-isolates after experiencing coronavirus symptoms Boris Johnson’s key adviser believed to have mild symptoms including a cough

There has not been enough humour recently - for understandable reasons. So let us thank this young Australian for providing what is so needed at this time. Not only trying in his own way to do something useful but also making me (and many others) laugh: Astrophysicist gets magnets stuck up...

Hoi! Gove/Raab/whoever is supposed to be listening, they said VACCINATE, not VACILLATE.

I recommend: Stalingrad by Vasily Grossman (Author), Robert Chandler (Translator) (I know Leningrad isn't Stalingrad!)

Something like...

So far as I am aware, fining people for being out of their houses and effectively banning people from visiting the next county were not allowed by UK law...

Brexit really helped, didn't it? The UK has been rated as one of the most prepared nations in the world, and some experts have said the coronavirus outbreak would have overwhelmed any government. However, a 2019 parliamentary inquiry into biological security was postponed and then cancelled...

Let us see how this one pans out: Ventilator Challenge UK to start production in Covid-19 fight Consortium of British manufacturers called on to help produce 10,000 machines Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the...

Partner said that before you - so an extra tick from her! :)

Back to brexit. Seems the figures are showing a substantial number who voted for brexit disagreeing with government no-delay. Two-thirds of people in UK want Brexit transition extension - poll Polling commissioned by the cross-party campaign group Best for Britain and anti-racism group Hope...

Gove has, it seems, stopped total denial that it was ignored. Which strongly implies the evidence is stacked up high against him/them: Reply from the government after offering to procure ventilators for the NHS. An NHS supplier in Nantwich said that in the international market it had found...

Seems UK government blame is now accruing to China - for having had up to forty times as many cases as they have declared. I find this ridiculous. China might have had more cases than declared. (Whether intentionally or not - many might have been mild and passed under the radar.) If so, they...

If Johnson (and everyone else) had observed proper social distancing and appropriate hygiene, then he wouldn't have contracted it, even if Barnier were carrying it. Well, they tell us that is what is both necessary and sufficient.

I suspect this will be of limited benefit but some, I am sure, will find it a lifeline: Broadband providers to lift data caps during Covid-19 lockdown Telecoms industry will relax data limits and lower prices to protect the vulnerable For example, I am hardly using mobile at the moment -...

Does someone just not get it? You want us to maintain separation and stay locked down even more strictly. So you ensure that posties have to visit every single house, possibly spreading CV even more effectively - even those for which there is no other reason for the postie to go to? (Not...
