- How to recognize a Weblog tool by its permalinks → Mission accomplished: I’m using The Ultimate Weblogging System apparently.

- Jabberwocky variations → Mazin.
- Maths A-level revival plan approved → Too little, too late. Schooling is a pipeline. Insufficient output can be measured at the end, but you have to go back to where it’s broken to fix the leak. A-level is at the end, so when poor results are measured there, the problem is assumed to be there. If the problem is actually in, say, Year 8, then it’ll be five years before kids can do proper A-levels again.
- Mercaptan → It’s what they add to gas to make it smell. Factoid: one teaspoon spilt is enough to stink out the surrounding hundred odd square miles. ‘Strue.
