If a friend tells you a humourous story about child naming it is always, 100% of the time, an urban myth. There is something about child-name urban myths which makes people determined to represent them as something they personally saw absolute proof of, despite them always being absolute bollocks.

Family member who works in construction was recalled from furlough at the beginning of last week and told to plod into central London. He did, was immediately exposed to someone who tested positive the next day, and is now halfway through a 14-day isolation. So exciting news that more of this is being encouraged!

goddamnedtwisto posted:As always in this country it's a mixture of once-sane safety regs and TRADITION. There's a (perfectly reasonable) regulation that there must be no way for non-potable water to make it back into the mains. The problem is that almost all of the taps in your house (particularly any hot water taps) are non-potable, and the only way to stop that non-potable water making it back into the mains was to have a separate tap. Proper backpressure devices didn't exist until the 1950s, and weren't considered reliable enough for use in domestic settings until the 70s, so everyone's just used to having separate taps and get freaked out by mixers. The kitchen tap in our flat pretty consistently has to run for 1-2 minutes while the output gets warmer and warmer before you get any cold, I'd assumed it was a terrible piping job that was doing laps around the boiler, but could it be this sort of thing?

As someone noted here the last time it came up, the Scottish Government's power to actually diverge from what Westminster wants is very limited, so they do a lot of presenting what they're being forced to do as considered decisions.

In fun US/Nazis history, I was reading earlier about the Apollo postal covers scandal, where a pair of German 'stamp collectors' persuaded the astronauts on Apollo 15 to sneak 400 envelopes into space and frank them there, with the plan to keep them secret for a number of years then sell them. The Germans immediately reneged on the deal and started selling them, and the astronauts were banned from future space missions. What most of the articles on the subject don't mention, but German wikipedia has two citations for, is that the German stamp collector with suspiciously close access to NASA astronauts was (huge shock incoming) literally a Nazi who was leader of a local Nazi group from the early 30s until the end of the war.
