I'm sure I've told you the thing I know about this

OH that's a fave

I've still not seen a living platypus, which has always struck me as a bit farfetched

I know it's 8 years late, but I'd like to confirm that Australia does exist, too

Very "I'm an obsessive weirdo establishing an alibi badly", yes.

The one that strikes me is "He had loads of pictures of attractive TV presenters and stuff in his flat, but not Dando". That's not exculpatory! He obviously binned them

Something along those lines, yes. Add some weird fucked up french will situation or something and it's ALL REAL. Or some other reason we'll never know

I mean innocent brain is: murdered by the Russians. Guilty brain is: murdered by tHE SIS

I feel like we're not even supposed to really believe the spy in the bag was an accident

I'm here for continuity Cliveden set

Someone else in the pay of Big Gerontology

Saw your mum's got a new car

Excellent taxidermy at the Queensland Museum

"Jeanne" was a major outlier, with no-one else ever reaching 120, let alone 122. Nearly all her results from testing in her 110s were those of a 90 yr-old and not consistent with other super-centenarians. Theories as to why relate to pensions etc - Yvonne supposedly died at 34 btw, in the 30s.

Jeanne Calment was actually her daughter Yvonne, and died aged 99

Booooo

No thank-you, no, none of this helps

Everyone is employed and productivity is low and remains low

Absolute prioritisation of job protection over any other macroeconomic measure has not been good for growth, especially COVID rebound (contra the US where they protected *incomes* and got massive wage growth after).

AT LEAST ONE OF THESE ALWAYS HAPPENS

I can make that link! I'd not be alone!

I'm in Australia and my hotels can do basic laundry (low effort, large fee) but the more specialised approach for doing my white T shirts (slow spin, air dry on a hanger) isn't happening, nor am I letting them near the serious stuff.

But are there specialist dry cleaners with quick turnaround times? You seriously can't wear decent outfits twice a day for more than 3 days with hand luggage

Bit random so far, Dune Messiah, some 14th Century History, some sci fi, Shuggie Bain

Like Joxley, I'd be STRAIGHT to having a chef when my boat comes in

Single, don't enjoy cooking, often don't have much time? I mean I know why I order food a fair bit

Zempler are harmless and connect well with lots of accounting sites

Do not make me send Tilly the room tour

I must stress that I have now left the (hawk, spit) Gold Coast and that this is lovely Brisbane so all the concrete is ironic

Having been warned about how you would have to be a giant douchebag to do a "but Israel" post about the firebombing of a Synagogue, someone then does just that. Multiple likes on it, too. What a fucking world.

OH MY GOD. SHUT UP. SHUT THE FUCK UP. SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU FUCKING PATHETIC INDIVIDUAL. YOU THINK YOU'RE MAKING SOME SORT OF DEVASTATINGLY INTELLIGENT POINT ABOUT 'LEGITIMATE CRITICISM OF ISRAEL' HERE, DO YOU? SHOULD WE ALL CLAP? SHOULD WE BUILD YOU A FUCKING MEDAL PODIUM?
