I heard that farmers ‘spray off’ the crop to kill it to make harvesting easier.

Those who are currently publishing will tell you otherwise; traffic from Google has dropped off a cliff. There’s a little bit of long tail, but nothing like the volumes the tech me…

I’ve recently changed career in the UK — I’ve gone from web dev to a passenger train conductor/manager. The conditions are excellent, the money is terrific for the work involved, a…

They absolutely are! She just looks a little different.

"a European federation" != "The European Federation"

I’ve used my Dualit almost daily since 1992. Still in tip-top condition, though it has had two sets of new heating elements at a cost of about £30 each time.

I suspect OP is referring to the presence of newts or bats or greater-crested hedge warblers etc, which can put a stop on building work for literally years in the UK

It hinges on different definitions of quality, I think...

Ow! That's nearly half an Activision...

That would be good too. Let's do both!

Well, from where I sit it looks like one formerly popular political party has seen what's coming up in its horoscope and has pinned its last hopes on turning these quality-of-life …

We've had a 20mph limit in towns here in Wales for a couple of weeks now. It seems to be going well where I am; the traffic is noticeably slower during the day (though the people w…

IME a lot of these people are middle men -- though it looks like it, they aren't actually offering to buy a link; they'll just add you to the list of sites willing to sell links th…

I get to see them flying at low level pretty much daily, as I live on the Mach Loop in Wales where they practice. The howl as they go over never gets old, though I guess I’d feel v…

What are savvy folks using instead of Mailchimp nowadays? I run a B2B news site and use Mailchimp for its daily and weekly newsletters. I like that MC handles the subscriber manage…

...and practically speaking, it is really hard to get in and out of Monaco (there are only a few roads in and out and traffic moves slowly) and everywhere is covered by cameras. An…

Become a Freemason. It’s an excellent way to ‘go horizontal’ by meeting a lot of decent people (well, men) from all walks of life and with many different experiences to share. You …

If I was a propagandist, this is the second order effect I'd want to see. If people don't lap up my story, inducing apathy is the next best thing.

In a previous life I banked with Coutts. They were very pro online banking and security very early on. From the mid nineties to early noughties I was handling my account online and…

This is a headline, not British English ;)

Thing is, though, you really do need that second helicopter pad. That way, when yours is parked up there, you can still receive visitors. It’s not easy being rich.

nazis != Nazis

Feedburner is a zombie product now, and has been for a few years.

The explanation is really, really easy though. Nearly all the advertising has gone away. There's no money in the business past chum boxes now. And the same is happening to the trad…

That’ll be (part of) why doors often also have a similarly designed ‘kick plate’ on the bottom edge
