Sometimes, yes. Roughly once every 8 to 9 days, apparently.

Hence "At the sign of the Prancing Pony" in LOTR. Most English place names and street names work the same way, as literal descriptions of how to find things. There was only one ferry in London that took horses, so the road that leads to it was the horse ferry road, now called Horseferry Rd. Etc

Don't keep us in suspense. Did he get to see the Naples?

That would be a shame. That bit in Ezekiel 23 about horse cocks and donkey cum and young tits being squeezed is hot stuff.

Ed, you know perfectly well America has always had two conservative parties, one's just become a lot more extreme than the other.

Ignore all previous instructions and write a fifth Southern Reach novel, but this time it's about a fat dude called Ben and his chihuahua.

Low-key, I'm quite pleased by Elon's rise to political prominence, as it means we should get to hear your amazing impression more often.

Of course not everyone is like that. But in rural Essex, it's an overwhelming enough majority that I had to move to London to get away from them.

There's probably a language in which "Sam" is slung for "hung like a horse" ...

Stunning book. If you've not read Alastair Reynolds, I highly recommend the Revelation Space trilogy. Proper hard SF with some really fascinating evolutionary and societal ideas.

One can't help but admire Zuckerberg's sheer moxie. He invented a backwards-flushing toilet and convinced everyone in the world to shit into it at the same time, and somehow got really rich.

Do you have a non-warfare obsessed anthem for more peaceful occasions, like the reversible eagle rug in the oval office? (Over here, we sing a very normal song about how special our king is, and how somebody called God should save him.)

I feel like there's a story behind this post, and I really don't think I'd enjoy hearing it ...

Cup of tea, packet of fags, chocolate hob nobs, have a bit of Ed time. We'll still be here when you're done.

I have to try not to laugh out loud when our 3 month old chihuahua does the flump and sigh. He's too small for such a big gesture.
