  • Island Life: Abusage,

    excuse my ignorance, but if heinous does not sound like penis... what does it sound like?

    I would have said: "rhymes with Janus", but I have had this email:

    The only alternative to heinous/penis is heinous/anus, which is worse at best, under the circumSTAHnces.

    Bernard, I wouldn't lean too heavily on Alexa. It's a self-selecting tool eschewed by many prudent users. A better approach might be to find out the number of kids signing up and track their use and activity. I'd say the gold standard for IT waste remains INCIS, with that Lands thing an ignoble second.

    81st Column, do please feel welcome to compose something as lengthy as you like. My address is just over there on the left.

    Of course. Come and say hello.

    Ditto.

    Judy, I can promise that at the very least the stuff on SPARC should make it into a post tomorrow.

  • Island Life: The longest last time,

    Thank you all for the appreciative words. If you would like something somewhat more comforting to take away, there is this, which Michelle told us last night. A significant development in the treatment of Ewings Sarcoma is thought to be just a few years away. That could mean all the difference to the life of another nine year old some day.

  • Island Life: BP-Fuelled Rage,

    Admittedly, there are occasions when you're going to need a motor vehicle

    You can move house using just a bicycle. Here's a guy doing it in Lyon

    You can see his home-made T-Shirt a little more clearly in this photo. I forget the precise words but their import was that the motorcar was killing the planet and causing stress to everyone.
