Thinking of giving up the LinkedIn puzzles. From the average times, some people are clearly taking a screenshot, working out the solution, then entering it. It’s a form of cheating in my opinion and it’s a great pity.

I really don’t understand content providers who regularly drop six or seven posts all at the same time. I would have thought spreading them throughout the 24 hour timezone-friendly day would increase new reader engagement. Thoughts please?

PLUMBERS! Thinking of decommissioning a piece of microbore by crimping it like this? Think again. It always leaks a few years later. #plumber #plumbing

JUST IN: H5N1 bird flu now confirmed to spread between dairy cows through milk. Infected milk was found weeks before symptoms, and raw milk killed cats. If you’re still underestimating this, you’re not paying attention.
