On Let's Bomb the Falklands!
@jfruh Apparently (ie. I read in this article the other day: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/jan/28/falkland-islands-belong-argentina) a number of Argentinians are only now discovering the islanders eat chips, drink warm beer, and watch the BBC. IT seems there's been a long-standing idea that they were at least in some way culturally tied to Argentina, which might explain a lot. That said, I have a hard time believing that people knew that little about the place...

On Sport of Tennis Permanently Concluded
@Bobby Womack I can sort of see it with Nadal, but Djokovic really doesn't look the steroid sort; he's really very lean, as is Murray. I guess what I'm saying is that my superficial assessment of steroids based on looks disagrees with your assessment based on endurance.

I am signing all of my emails this weekend 'God bless, The Bionicman', if that's alright.

On 'Clan Of The Cave Bear': Neanderthal Fan Fic
@mrschem AKA the Lucky Jim stance of: 'thank God for the twentieth century'. One thing Amis got right is I don't think anyone with sense who's studied the middle ages, say, would want to live there.

On Name That Los Angeles Neighborhood!
Google maps makes some odd decisions. Anything in the London Borough of Camden appears as being in Camden Town (which is an area within Camden), so you get designations like Bloomsbury Square, Camden Town, which is like saying Williamsburg, Brooklyn Heights.

On What Will London Become?
The Guardian mentioned last week that Cameron would rather like to hire Bill Bratton as the next head of the Met, the last one having walked over the phone-hacking mess.

On 'Daily News' Endorses Prison Rape
@Ham_Snadwich It worked too- the first pictures of him were some blurry snaps of him dressed like a mason, and now all I see on the news are clearly taken from such a photoshoot.

@LondonLee I think I'm in a smallish minority who plump for 'This is Hardcore'.

On Going Home With Pulp
God, yes. Jarvis has a funny little radio show, and everyone still seems to remember Pulp songs... they've never really seemed to go away, and now they're back.

On Fine, Kids, Call Your Mom Five Times a Day!
@faience This sounds so much like me I had to check I didn't black out earlier and write it.
