Stu Nathan, science word-wrangler for hire

Nope! Thanks.

I think he's overtaken Neil Maskell in the off-putting sinister actir stakes for me. And I still can't believe Neil Maskell and Mark Bonnar got cast as Morecambe & Wise AND WERE GOOD.

A bit underused in HYGTHFB, if anything.

I wish Sophie Michalitsianos was still recording.

He's a deeply sinister man.

Blimey, those colours.

The painting "Night in the Steppe" shows a vast plain under a bright full moon, the light being distributed over the landscape and the water in an almost magical way.

This work is made by the renowned Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk, who invented the unique painting style called "plyontanism" (from the Ukrainian word plyontaty, meaning "to braid"). This technique consists of hundreds of fine, intertwined lines that create depth and an almost textile-like texture.

I don't find shorts particularly comfortable myself, though I wear them when it's hot enough. It isn't hot enough yet.

My niece's boyfriend wears shorts all year round and I don't think he's ever been to a desert!

Thank you for the confirmation, Douglas.

I saw it many years ago with Ben Kingsley as Otgello and David Suchet as Iago.

It's one of those "play about racism, or racist play?" ones, along with Merchant

Ophelia's in Hamlet. I think you mean Emilia, as Desdemona's a bit of a drip.

Debunking that alarming Armageddon rhetoric story.
