Hosts are not 1. Trained 2. Experienced 3. Tech-savvy All of which should be prerequisites for getting to the dizzy heights they aspire to.

Such a fun interview! I could listen to Kelly talk all day. He packed so much fascinating info into this half hour. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did recording it.

Sounds like canals are open sewers. My brother (the one in Toulouse) says locals don a mask and suck on a hosepipe to go under and clean their props. I would appreciate the disinfectant shower afterwards!

Un-fucking-believable. Actually, no it's not. It's totally believable from this lot. I suspect it's tied into the Labour announcement that they plan to employ all the nurses we produce.

Cow bones could offer cheap alternative for human jaw repair, dental treatment, researchers say
Left over cow bones could offer a more cost-effective way to build back human jaws, after successful trials overseas.
