Oh, god, breathless commentary on the Jim Twins has always irked me, and I'm so glad that link ripped it apart. "Oh, they both named their son the same thing, what are the odds!?" Well, I don't know, what are the odds that two men, both named James, will each name their firstborn son James?

Enjoyed 2. I should not have enjoyed the bit with the very unemotional factual stating of cost differences in the US... But... Bwahahaha

Though, on one second's second thoughts - I guess I should cry instead, because the last thing the US needs is any excuse to drag on renewables on cost grounds.

Good for Robin Ince, though I think Michael will miss him!

Hopefully he will find other outlets that Michael will find him in.

I mean to write to the BBC and complain. I am also agonising about whether I should boycott The Infinite Monkey Cage now.
