Those are the ones! It’s quite a distinctive word so must have stuck in my head!
- Comment on Who all wants a silent spring? 3 weeks ago:
Amazing, thank you for that. There’s so much that’s fascinating in linguistics!

Of course German has a word for it! I did some bee research a long while back and we used to stick a tiny bit of numbered card on bees to track them. That has a German word as well, something like opalithplatchen.
What kind of language has a separate word for a tiny bit of numbered card that you stick on a bee?

My old neighbour had one of those kebab shop bug zapper lights which she hung outside and ran all day and all night. I couldn’t sit out because the sound of insects being disassembled was too much for me to cope with.

That was incredible! Just back from getting up on the hills in Hertfordshire and the reds and green aurora visible to the naked eye were stunning.
Never thought I would see that in this country.

- Comment on Gender-specific toilets to be required in non-residential buildings in England 6 months ago:
Solving things that were never really problems whilst ignoring a heap of social injustice across the country? Yup, that sounds like the Tories.
Go on a plane, gender neutral toilets. On a train? Same thing. Most cafes like Pret or Nero have a single toilet that everyone uses without issue. What on earth are they solving here?

Mostly Wildermyth, it’s a gentle but compelling story driven/generating RPG that occupies those few half hours I have for gaming!
