It’s an odd position to take because every person, every animal, every creature has its own tolerance to temperature. I have two dachshunds, one doesn’t seem to notice the cold, the other really doesn’t fancy it below about 4 degrees C but is okay wearing a jacket.

Same energy

Yeah like hearing somebody tell you you’re great, you’re a champ etc as if it’s not just a generic message to whoever happens to hear it, rather than specifically being addressed to you for a particular reason. As if just singing a song about being strong is actually what makes you strong

Needs more cowbell

There was a social media post about this the other day, which appeared to be from the boy’s mum and they had suspected he’d made a mistake but he went as Elvis anyway and it didn’t turn out well. Now I’m wondering whether either the post or the story itself are entirely true

There’s the transparency aspect where it has to be seen to be conducted randomly and impartially, although there will always be suggestions of the draw being rigged if it comes out in a particular way. But that doesn’t justify all the extra ‘entertainment’ and sideshow

Everyone thinks their voice sounds strange when they hear it back. It sounds different in your own head, partly because of bone conduction (that’s how it was explained to me) and partly because you’re only half-listening to yourself as you talk, you’re concentrating more on what you are going to say

Being pedantic, the saying was that hardly anyone bought the first album, but everyone who did started a band. Supposedly said by Brian Eno but he claims not to remember it. Chapeau for knowing it was something like that anyway

This is a really entertaining listen. It’s all interviews and a recording of him giving evidence to a Congress enquiry about obscenity laws, but he’s absolutely in his element

I like it, although I do wonder why the choir felt it necessary to practice all year long to sing “ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong d

Okay well basically it’s apparently traditional to have a grandparent asleep in an armchair having over-imbibed

Or a Giles cartoon
