I actually don't agree with this advice, even. I think crying in public should be normalised.

'“Don’t let them see you cry,” is the kind advice from my Labour opponent...' Anyway, here's 500 words for a national paper about me crying"

Yes, I agree. A plot hole isn't a plot twist, it's where a character is tapping on the fourth wall because the author hasn't noticed something obvious in their world but they're dependent on the author for their actions

I like the theory of quantum storage that will store all human knowledge in a grain of sand. But maybe not as much as Borges would have!

Yes. It's not that they can't be improved upon for longevity, it's just that it hasn't happened yet. Digital improves printing process and allows replication, search... but these are technical advances in reading experience with temporary media

My wife and I got trapped in an alleyway with two members of Faust by a couple of Bergen marching bands who were facing off. They drummed relentlessly. The guy from Faust covered his ears and shouted FUUUUCK but he may as well have been screaming in space.

I feel there's a point in British culture where a queue forms to kick something in the shins without even needing to explain why. The Conservatives are now that thing and they can't do anything to prevent it.

It's a new party. Anyone voting for them BY DEFAULT must have looked at what they stand for. For this reason I'm angered by the "what motivates these voters?" articles in the press.

In the UK Google will suggest alternate routes down these narrow country lanes that technically have a 60mph speed limit, but nobody can drive down those at 60 all the time. We have to drop to 56 for the corners.
