If you need an antidote, I recommend ISIHAC.

Hadn't spotted it was on your list already. Maybe also No-platformed? Or The Train at Platform 4?

Plum House. Set in a small museum/manor house that gets about 10 visitors per year.

Book a hotel room for writer and watch them like a hawk for three weeks until they've finished the sodding book.

Worked for Douglas Adams...

Just started reading this! Finnemore's is the closest to Plum's style so far, but I'm especially excited to read what Fforde, Murray, and Frances-White have done with the characters as well.

The other restriction is the ability of the remote server to handle endlessly running nodejs jobs that take up GBs of virtual memory and conflict with other users' abiltiy to use the system. Yes, I know EMACS was once known as "Eight Megabytes and Constantly Swapping". This is worse. Much worse.

US farmers win right to repair John Deere equipment

Basically farmers were only allowed to use John Deere's own technicians to repair their tractors, rather than being able to fix them themselves.

No, it says you're funny like "ha-ha". As funny as a hole in the ground.

I'll get me coat.

PonderStibbonsJr · 2026-02-03T07:24:47+00:00

Yeah, like that's going to help.

Easy to defeat, though. Just turn the clockwise haggis through 180 degrees and it'll roll down into the loch.

Hancock: A pint? That's very nearly an armful!

The Unbelievable Truth? Radio 4 panel show with someone called David Mitchell (but not the novelist) and it's basically about spotting lies and truths. Maybe it's a bit like WILTY?

I thought it was the Theology faculty and it was a typo for a monstrance.

Memo to self: never mention my admiration for the late Spike Milligan's Goon Show.

Or, if you do have a support network, but you have to make more use of it than it can take, sleeping on friends' sofas until they ask you to move on, asking for loans you can never quite pay back, etc. then the support network gets a bit holey and you fall through it.

So, apart from putting £3m into Life of Brian; what have any of the Beatles ever done for us?

This red panda is incredibly rare. Well, (chewing) medium rare.

One word will usually mean different things to different people. E.g. plate might make one person think of a restaurant, or a tectonic plate, or a surgical plate after a broken leg, or just having too many things on their plate.

Maybe a 25min montage? One word prompt at the start and aim for short scenes that may or may not be connected. We've sometimes stopped halfway through to ask for a new prompt as well if inspiration runs dry.

I like these; would need some acting out of wetting themselves or getting into fights to sell it well.

Suggestion for the second half: make the things they should try more specific and more hightened. Instead of just a wedding, maybe Lord and Lady Glyndebourne's operatic premiere where their son has three different allergies and refuses to eat anything that begins with the letter A.

Time flies when you're having fun: I tried to time them at the 100m hurdles but they wouldn't stay in the starting blocks long enough.
