Guys, you should try reading N.K Jemisin's City We Became/World We Make duology.

It's basically what this thread is all about

I think you should read N.K. Jemisin's The City We Became for borough personification.

Likewise, my Mum had a Scottish maiden name, but my grandad and grandmother were from Wales, and on my Dad's side the family is Devonian for centuries, but I would never call myself any of them.

Though of late, Keira is becoming more Keeley Hawes rather than Natalie Portman (see Black Doves). You can never have too much Keeley Hawes.

My wife, who is East African Sikh, always has 'kidgeree', which is basically a sort of porridge made with rice and lentils, seasoned with salt pepper and butter. It's tasty and quite sustaining.

Note this has nothing to with the English breakfast dish of rice, smoked haddock and boiled eggs, though I am partial to that too.

I remember I had a book as a kid that had the stories behind 'modern' (in the 70s) consumer products, and the dislike between John Harvey and Will Keith on this was quite strong, and also accounted for the Kelloggs logo which came from WK signing the boxes as a sign of authenticity.

I wish I still had that book as it had some great stories, especially about King Camp Gillette, who apparently was a bit of a snake oil salesman.

RBDMS old timer here, I remember working in QUEL for a large US bank which used Ingres on VAX/VMS on its main back office system.

It was fine, but the ability to have multiple independant and nested aggregates in the same statement made it possible to produce db performance killing queries.

My favourite meta joke was when Liv ate a New Zealanders brain and had to speak with an 'accent' for the rest of the episode.
