Yoz Grahame's Unresolvable Discrepancy

I came here to apologise and eat biscuits, and I'm all out of biscuits

Quote… Unquote

Posted: February 11th, 2004 | 1 Comment »

Went into town with Bob for a recording of the long-running BBC Radio panel game Quote… Unquote, thanks to free tickets from a neighbour, and was very pleasantly surprised to see Andrew Mueller
- one of my all-time favourite writers – on the panel. I’ve been a fan
since university, when I read his work in the now-defunct Melody Maker. His collection Rock and Hard Places
was the best book I read in 2000 and I’ve returned to it many times;
it’s damn-near unmissable (and thanks to the whims of the publishing
industry, also damn-near unfindable).

The shows were funny though somewhat imbalanced, with Nigel Rees
being somewhat codescending to Mueller and downright dismissive of Pam
Rhodes, preferring instead to kow-tow to the irritatingly-twee John
Suchet, a never-ending source of anecdotes about his brother.
Fortunately Brian Sewell saved the day (and how often does one get to
say that), particularly with this line:

I’m not going to have a funeral. I’m going to leave my body
to science. It’ll go to a medical academy where students can practise
with it. And people tell me that I mustn’t do that because they tend to
take the penis and testicles and hide them in sandwiches and give them
to girls. But I don’t care!

After the show I managed to snatch a brief conversation with Andrew who, along with being incredibly nice, pointed me at his new site
which contains a hefty chunk of his writing, including many of the
pieces from the book and the complete archives of his current Time Out column.

I’m going to bed now, because I’ve just turned thirty. Bugger.

    Gorgeous hack: web-based file sharing service where the link to your file works while it's still uploading. Instant, super simple and free. (via DMM)
  • Async.js (Caolan McMahon)
    One of the many flow-control packages for Javascript, of which at least 3 are called async.js. This one has some really nice tricks, especially auto() which fires off function calls as soon as their dependencies are met.

    Really good explanations of several useful function and module patterns to use when building your own
  • News flash: Deadly terrorism existed before 9/11 - Ask the Pilot - Salon.com
    The quantity of air-travel-targeting terrorist attacks between 1985 and 1989 would be unthinkable today; yet the presented danger and precautions taken are far worse

    Despite American parents' increasing paranoia, Halloween may be the safest day of the year for kids. (via schneier)
  • becoming the alien: apartheid, racism and district 9 « a subtle knife
    Superb essay on District 9's relevance. "It confronts us with our complicity with racism, by making us identify with the perspective of the racist, inviting us to feel the revulsion of the xenophobe – and then pulling the carpet from under our feet." (via kevin marks)
  • Music Hack Day: The Uninterrupter - Andrew Shearer's Other Blog
    "For an increasing number of us, the same device we use to play music also handles email and GPS directions." The presented solutions are as brilliant as they are ludicrous. (via extensionfm blog)
