Statto’s shorts

  1. At the end of our road sits a ‘site office’. It’s a shed with a table, a chair with hi-vis jacket draped over the back, and wood saw, which was presumably used to construct the shed.

  2. @niall_gooch Cheers, looking forward to it. :)

  3. @niall_gooch Can you at least write an article? I massively disagree, but I’m interested to know why you think that, and Twitter is too short.

  4. Monday photos: spring springing in flowery bluebell form.

  5. @huwmjames Whoa, that is uncivilised. Hope it brightens up the ride… If you reply at that time, don’t expect an instant response! ;)

  6. @huwmjames Short answer: probably not. tl;dr answer: check your inbox. :)

  7. Estimating a problem’s size is a good starting point for choosing your battles, but it is just a start.

  8. @DPJHodges Why aren’t you interested in the figures? What is your prediction based on?

    Wednesday 9th May 2012 15:42 GMT

  9. @DPJHodges Is his/your position even plausible? We can’t assess based on assertion alone. On what basis do you claim to prognosticate?

    Wednesday 9th May 2012 15:03 GMT

  10. @DPJHodges Can estimate, eg what would be the approximate tax take if hiked now, and how does that compare to the deficit?

    Wednesday 9th May 2012 15:03 GMT

  11. @DPJHodges OK, but (sorry to be a broken record) do you have figures showing tax hikes won’t be enough and spending will have to be slashed?

    Wednesday 9th May 2012 14:54 GMT

  12. @DPJHodges What’s the difference? Austerity is cutting spend to cover deficit? Anyway, where are the figures to back that up?

    Wednesday 9th May 2012 14:25 GMT

  13. @DPJHodges Figures backing up your assertion that Hollande’s taxes can’t cover the deficit, as he claims. @TomChivers

    Wednesday 9th May 2012 14:05 GMT

  14. @DPJHodges Any word on the figures backing up your Hollande article yesterday? And indeed why the figures aren’t in the article? @TomChivers

  15. Excellent Supermoon shots by Chris Kotsioupoulos and Robert Arn. Hat-tip Luis Argerich.

  16. @DPJHodges That Hollande’s end to austerity ‘is just smoke and mirrors’… Plausible, but unsure why numbers aren’t referenced… @TomChivers

    Tuesday 8th May 2012 10:11 GMT

  17. @DPJHodges Do you have any figures to back that up? If so, why didn’t they make it to the article? @TomChivers

  18. Apparently big-hitting medical interventions aren’t always glamorous, expensive drugs with sciencey-sounding names.

  19. Font licence nerds: I’ve made a brochure using Gill Sans, Santa Fe LET and OCR-A, would putting InDesign file plus fonts online be legal?
