      Ghosts

      I think the US version stands up well compared to most US comedy shows based on UK originals (yes The Office I am looking at you), if not quite up to the standard of its UK progenitor. Series 2 expected soon. Thankfully, they used a different set of characters and backstories to explore rather...

      The laws of cricket reference reminded me of a thought I had recently. If a run is called short, should not both runs be called short?

      Media mistakes

      I see no bird. :unsure: Edit: Now see it using Chrome rather than my usual Firefox. I think that is about as good as you could expect using just a couple of alternating GIFs.

      Assume v. Presume

      I have a dislike of being called "buddy" by a work colleague but no problem with being called "mate". Is that me being US-phobic?

      So like grammar pedants to want to impose their proscriptive use of language on the rest of us. 🤨

      My only quibble with calling it a concert is that I am given to understand she mimes her vocal as all the prancing around leaves her too out of breath to actually sing. May as well play her MTV videos,

      If you want to wind up up the locals call the football teams Notts County and Notts Forest. :)

      No series record on BBC1SEHD

      It can if it is from a subscription channel and the subscription has lapsed. Only mention it as you were wanting to be precise in how these things are worded.

      Today's 3pm emergency alert

      I thought phones in ruggedised cases were aimed at the likes of the building industry? We use them and can vouch for them surviving being driven over by a large vehicle as well as surviving many falls. The one weak point is the screen if they happen to land face down on a piece of grit which...

      Today's 3pm emergency alert

      I assume they are relying on those who do not get an alert being informed pronto by someone who has. At a guess 30% penetration would suffice for this.

      Random Recordings!

      Maybe they have had a new starter on the job? On Sunday I noticed the omnibus version of The Archers had been added to the daily episode podcast feed instead of the omnibus feed. And then the Sunday daily episode was the omnibus version until they noticed it and put up the right recording.

      F1 qualifying only recorded the first 35 minutes

      Really? My old Digitalstream recorded all of quali but I watched the post-quali coverage on All4 on my lunch break at work and that had the ad breaks.

      The global concensus across the scientific commumity is to now accept the spelling without the "i". Of course in common parlance we plebs this side of the water will still spell it with the "i".

      Another one to consider is Salford being pronounced Safford ... by the true locals of the Bedfordshire village - the post-war London overspill population who moved to the area don't know any better.

      Another computer question...

      Sounds like your emoticons are being converted to emojis. I always stick with emoticons for SMS texts : ) and only use emojis in Whatsapp and forum posts. :)

      How dumb is Britain?

      There is some spurious, unnecessary information included in the question. It matters not that the the measurements are in cms to answer the question asked. They could have been in inches or cubits and it would not have affected the solution. Other than that the one unstated assumption is that...
