I don't know the Absinthe Fairy, but I've met the Whisky Fairy more than once.

I remember the days before internet ads. You'd be rushing to finish a (Lotus 1-2-3) spreadsheet that your boss wanted ASAP and some fool would stick her head through the window and wave a dead chicken in your face. The '90s were hell.

I may not know anything about art but I know what I like.

Fantasy jobs I never had #1: Assistant on '60s glamour shoot.

"OK boy we're ready, go and oil up miss Fox".

The owl does look worried.

There's always an option to backtrack, though it would likely come with a substantial monetary and reputational cost.

I dislike Bernie intensely, but let's not kid ourselves that the current F1 owners are motivated by anything except how much money they can screw out of the sport.

Well, other than the fact that we don't live in a perfect society (have you noticed yet?), because a rich, famous, influential 92 yo is probably the last person the authorities want in jail.

Blake is reliably bonkers. I love his stuff.

You're not wrong, but jail time and justice is not what motivates HMRC, or any other revenue department. They want one thing, and one thing only: The money. Putting people in jail costs money, letting rich people 'fess up and pay up is much more lucrative.

Linux is fine for people like you and me who are comfortable installing our own operating system, and trouble-shooting any problems. Most 'normal' people though will continue to walk into a store, buy a laptop, and use whatever came installed.

Of course, the year of Linux on the desktop actually happened some time ago without anyone noticing. It's called ChromeOS, and that's a whole different can of worms.

They certainly have options, though I'm not convinced Tsunoda, Ricciardo or Lawson are necessarily better options.
