Yes, but that's supposedly Milne's line, no? That other instances went "unreported". It would be interesting however to know if they actually "happened".
What worries me the most is what's going to happen when the Big One comes. The HoS has already burnt through "Doomsday", they might have to settle for "AAARRGHH!".

Man, that "massively proud" tweet by Milne redefines the boundaries of shamelessness.

Maybe they'll cancel those tax cuts now...?

The fact that Gio and I have similar thoughts is a worry.
Hey - I'm Italian. About 80% of my brain is wired to think about sex and the remaining 20%, insurance scams.

This is clearly a cracked drive from the neighbours tree root. The grass growing in the cracks says this didn't happen yesterday.
Heh, yes. Applying weedkiller before trying to flog the expense off to EQC might be in order.

I went to a very interesting lecture at Vic recently by John McClure.
You may remember him for such public lectures as "How explanations shape destinies: The psychology of causation", which is available for online viewing.

Except it's self-referential: we censor smoking in films because some people have decided it's socially unacceptable, as opposed to mildly annoying. Whereas when it comes to rape the stigma is just a little bit more justified.
I think people will look back on these decades of anti-smoking obsession in the same way that we look back on alcohol prohibition, that is to say as something fundamentally stupid and misguided. And hopefully they'll restore the smoking in the old reels, in the same way that we removed the fig leaves pasted on the genitalia of Adam and Eve in those old frescoes.
