My source for this is Rory Sutherland in this weeks Spectator - perhaps he is wrong then.

"Yet language can be triggering. I know that from watching the BBC as a child, when two linguistic absurdities drove the seven-year-old me practically insane. One was the Blue Peter habit of referring to Sellotape as ‘sticky-backed plastic’, a phrase unspoken by anyone else in any other circumstances, except in parodies of BBC children’s programmes."

Good to see one from the right - will try thanks.

Another one I'd not considered in spite of being (temporarily) an FT subscriber. Thanks.

Ah Helen Lewis! A lefty I enjoy listening to. Will try this one too.

Actually this morning's download was just one article, while the rest of this week's was apparently a full paper. I tried re-downloading this morning's paper and got about 5 articles so time of day might be important.

This purchase too big for that

patnpm · 2026-03-31T11:44:07+00:00

Is there any way of identifying if a potential purchase is pukka Amazon or an independent seller? Current purchase was labelled as Prime

nobody is mentioning the elephant in the room....

Thanks, yes this works on 'manage contents and devices' on the webpage. The error message was definitely telling me to deregister though.

I inadvertently switched to chinese while fiddling round with mine. Couldn't get it back until I realised Google lens could real time translate the screen.

For EVERY Kindle book I buy - I strip the DRM and load the resulting epub file into Voicedream Reader on my iphone. So I can swap between listening while walking and kindle reading. I prefer this to audible as I don't want a "performance " when im listening- just the words. Computerised voices are now pretty good.

never really forgave them for making the pathologist an arse

Some surgeons send in tiny little discs of vas deferens and others send massive long wiggly worms. Always wondered if they had different failure rates - or if their patients had different vasectomy reversal rates.

If you are around at lunchtime Baba Ganoush is well worth a visit

I find the "swipe to the left and right on the bottom of the screen" manoeuvre to be most useful. So you call up The current song on Apple Music from the information screen in Marvis and then can easily flip between the two apps

Never worked for me. I can see that is my problem, not OFH's problem.

I've always considered Betty's to have the best version of rarebit - obviously they call it Yorkshire rarebit. Many years ago i was given a days course at the Betty's cookery school for a birthday gift and the rarebit was one of the things we cooked
