Rob (the ergonomist) Cotterill @robcotterill.bsky.social · 07/10/2026After reading the opening of the article, I was beginning to feel like Denholm Elliot's character in Trading Places, when he says "but you're wearing leder hosen..." 000

Rob (the ergonomist) Cotterill @robcotterill.bsky.social · 03/10/2026There used to be a theory that the price of a meal should be 7 times the cost of the ingredients. Not sure how well that holds up these days? 100

Rob (the ergonomist) Cotterill @robcotterill.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I make a point of flagging ai flyers for the poor product that they are. Mostly, the response is incredibly hostile, telling me I must hate our local community. The irony is that I live in a very picturesque part of the country and there's no need for ai slop. 000

Rob (the ergonomist) Cotterill @robcotterill.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Absolutely daft to try and follow the space racism of the Great Orange Dictator. I doubt even they can realistically get an effective space force operating within a century and UK SA would be WAY beyond that. 011

Rob (the ergonomist) Cotterill @robcotterill.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Return journey commenced with a problem: the train from Ljubljana to Villach is delayed by 32 minutes, meaning we will miss our connection to Munich. Ah well: there are contingencies. Wörgle, here we come! 010

Hmmm. Where Germany is concerned I think that territory is pretty well charted. 563915736
Rob (the ergonomist) Cotterill @robcotterill.bsky.social · 20/09/2026We passed through on our way out, like you. This time, we're here for a few days. There is definitely not much of a functional station: a bit like Reading, when they rebuilt it for Crossrail. 100
Rob (the ergonomist) Cotterill @robcotterill.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Sharp knife thrust down through the top of the head. I saw Valentine Warner do it on telly. 010
Rob (the ergonomist) Cotterill @robcotterill.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I have just crossed from Croatia to Slovenia. Nothing further to report. 111
Rob (the ergonomist) Cotterill @robcotterill.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Oh, I completely agree: the rail network is essential and people need to be encouraged to use it, rather than discouraged. But I worry for anyone who thinks a nationalised service will be any kind of panacea beyond a shiny new livery for a couple of weeks. 100
Rob (the ergonomist) Cotterill @robcotterill.bsky.social · 20/09/2026It was poor when nationalised before. Why should it be better this time around? 200
Rob (the ergonomist) Cotterill @robcotterill.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Sounds like a lovely journey! 000

Rob (the ergonomist) Cotterill @robcotterill.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Indeed. Seven years ago, we visited the ethnographic museum in Belgrade. It was amazing just how much of the Western Balkans were obviously Serbian in origin. 010
Rob (the ergonomist) Cotterill @robcotterill.bsky.social · 14/09/2026We went to the City museum yesterday. One room covered WW2 and communism and the horrors inflicted by others (Germans, Yugoslavs), but precious little about horrors inflicted by local nationalists. 120
