A black man follows me around when it's sunny. I call him Leon.
Interesting! I had assumed that microfiche had been digitised and then discarded everywhere, while mourning its loss (for Bladerunner reasons etc.).

Any page I was interested in, I could tell the librarian ladies about it, and for a few pence they would print off a copy of the page for me. That was when I got into librarianess geekery. I wonder what the process is now for ex-microfichey things. [2/2]

It sounds like an interesting day-trip. The last time I did anything like that, I was researching an A-level geography project at Coventry City Library, going through microfiche records of old newspaper articles for stories about a deprived area. [1/2]

Do they let you make copies of em?

VG! When Matt and Trey were still in tight trousers, and before, Sesame Street was popping the popular cultural pimples that needed to be popped, for kids and their parents – and Oscar was usually party to it. Screw you, Pixar!

Has anyone managed to track down the YouTube channel mentioned at the end of the podcast, the twelfth episode of which is about Buddhist divination? It doesn't appear to be a secret, because a clip of it is played at the end, but I am struggling to find it. Does anyone have the link, please?

Now, that works. ❤️ you, Sardy.

Thanks. Access denied to me, but I shall pursue it.

I wonder if the misspelling of "hepatitis" is a common symptom of the hepatitic.

I recently started collecting old postcards, but now I'm thinking I might also want to collect old reference photos. (I can imagine the stars being more natural and less "on" for these functional photos.) Are there online/physical places you can go to find these specifically?

I was there, just the day today.

Yes, but, "facially"?

It has, patchily. I remember being troubled by the inconsistency of the spelling between different yoghurt companies as a child. I suppose some of the marketing teams thought, Who wants to eat hurt?

No, hot potatoes!
