@tregeagle In which case, via the medium of morphic resonance, some fraction of the silliness I find will worm its way into your subconscious to mystify yourself and those around you at some point in the future. No need to thank me. Sleep well.

I should be working tonight, or going to bed early to work tomorrow, but feck it, I'm going to drift down a river of wine and enjoy the silly things I read, see, and hear as I go.

1. Take my word for it, the English language is facing destruction
  
  from The Independent
  
  The long, slow decline of our primary method of communication shouldn’t concern only linguistic pedants. We are allowing a perversion of meaning to creep into our language, where words are used for control, rather than persuasion. That’s how dictators operate, says Robert Fisk

I think that if all editors of fiction would substitute the word "hypothesis" in phrases like "I have a theory" it would promote a better popular understanding of the distinction, and we'd thereby avoid a lot of pointless arguments. Mind you, that's just a theory.

@tregeagle #DLW has convinced another couple of people to go. She was concerned to get us all in a row to make us easier to manage. I think we should just follow the country train principle of waiting in your allotted seat till the ticket inspector's gone through, after which it's laissez faire.

@tregeagle #DLW has asked me to ask you what your seat numbers are. It took some time to work out what she was asking. The urgent need to achieve great things late at night, occasioned by an economy-sized bottle of Stoli, has already kicked in, so sentences have become baroque and halting. I need a Vodka to English dictionary. And the Lonely Planet guide to terrifying spouses.

I never knew about this, obviously: You would think that, given the deep, multiple strata of s**t that #Facebook is in, #Twitter would have realised that algorithmically-fiddled timelines were the legal equivalent of sweaty gelignite.
