| 06:00.57 | ChoHag | Having a toddler I've been awak for about 2 hours now so I've been watching radio 4 on the telly. |
| 06:01.33 | ChoHag | Again debate is being stifled because people feel the need to be polite to each other. |
| 06:02.08 | ChoHag | Two guys from gambling companies up against some regulator from the US. |
| 06:03.11 | ChoHag | They just wanted to call her and her country's entire government fucktards and clearly became frustrated when she clearly understood something but refused to do so anyway. |
| 06:03.31 | ChoHag | Nobody talked to her during the closing credits when for some reason they kept the cameras running as everybody left. |
| 06:03.52 | ChoHag | In fact guy one pushed straight past her to shake the hand of guy two on their way out. |
| 06:04.30 | ChoHag | But the whole debate (or at least as much of it as I saw) was a complete waste of time because they all felt the need to be polite to each other. |
| 06:06.36 | ChoHag | tldr; TV needs more trolls. |

| 06:54.35 | Leeds | meanwhile, they're making a movie in the street below my flat |
| 06:55.23 | Leeds | multiple camera crews wandering around, RED cameras, famous actors... they've built a bank ATM lobby set inside what's actually a little art gallery downstairs... |
| 09:21.26 | ChoHag | Why do adults try to entertain kids with faux cool? |
| 09:21.42 | ChoHag | I've never met a child who couldn't immediately see through it and feel patronised. |
| 09:23.19 | ChoHag | Then on an education programme they stick up a rainbow with violet immediately next to red. |
| 09:23.33 | ChoHag | So not interesting and not accurate. |

| 12:27.42 | ChoHag | Modern-ish computer course (includes pictures of SD cards at least). Lists 5 high level languages: Cobol, Fortran, Basic, C and C++. |
| 12:30.16 | ChoHag | I do love academia. Such a shame I missed out on that comedy. |
| 12:30.38 | ChoHag | Although not having a huge debt for the rest of my life is a bonus. |
| 12:31.40 | ChoHag | tsk tsk. |

| 12:33.12 | ChoHag | So, yeah, that's not even the worst question. Don't go to Stratford College. |

| 15:48.00 | ChoHag | 1937: Immediately upon his saying, and I quote again, "The American Medical Association knows of no evidence that marihuana is a dangerous drug.", one of the Congressmen said, "Doctor, if you can't say something good about what we are trying to do, why don't you go home?" |
| 15:48.11 | ChoHag | I love democracy. |
| 15:48.32 | ChoHag | The next Congressman said, "Doctor, if you haven't got something better to say than that, we are sick of hearing you." |
| 15:50.58 | ChoHag | Then, in the subsequent 1 minute 30 second 'debate' in congress (in the hieght of summer prior to air conditioning): |
| 15:51.02 | ChoHag | "Mr. Speaker, does the American Medical Association support this bill?" |
| 15:51.16 | ChoHag | "Their Doctor Wentworth came down here. They support this bill 100 percent." It wasn't true, but it was good enough for the Republicans. They sat down and the bill passed on tellers, without a recorded vote. |
| 15:51.23 | ChoHag | I love democracy. |
| 15:52.33 | ChoHag | I'd like to see the official sources for this, mind. |
| 16:51.44 | AndyMillar | ChoHag: they're entertaining the adults, not the children, duh |
| 17:22.15 | ChoHag | Hahaha. I was mean on reddit and I think somebody has gone through downvoting everything I posted today. |
