I've never 'got'

I'd say it's two separate roads, not lanes of one road.

Found it on maps and yeah, the white dashes denote the side of the road and verge but some of it happens to be lane sized and some of that separated by the grassy island bit, actual road is just to the right which is what the signs are trying to say, far from clear though.

Yes, what looks like the left lane isn't continuous along the road, so it's a kind of layby, and what looks like the right lane is really a two way undivided road.

Still confusing though. NB this is on one of the only two conceivable ways back into South London for many of us.

Cheesecake.

Make up your mind, la.

How about garlic...bread?

Wot? Garlic, and bread?
Noo thank you

Meat Loaf?

I won't do that.

Two out of three ain't bad

I never got the national obsession with him, either.

Although I suppose I do - I just don't agree with it at all.

Like Stephen Fry. Which upsets me most, as it has me agreeing with Julie Birchill, of all people.

Professor Brian Cox. I lasted about ten minutes into The Universe programme last night. Hardly eternity, did feel much longer. Syrupy, schmaltzy CGI bollocks, dumbed down to The One Show levels of inanity.

Give me Patrick Moore dropping cosmic truth bombs that I can’t understand any day of the millennia.

Give me Patrick Moore

I’d rather stick with the guy who isn’t a racist and misogynist

or dead!

No one beats Carl Sagan

There is that

Tapped "in reply to", got "garlic... bread". Confused. Food jokes - Eddie Izzard?

OG garlic bread, cheesecake didn't quite cut it for me

Really not that funny in such a short clip

Sagan = Butthead Astronomer

Yep...but given what Apple turned into it doesn't count too much against him

He also fell in love through making a mix tape for aliens

given what Apple turned into

True. And the PowerMac 7100 was horrible. Before (and since Jobs’ return) Apple’s approach to industrial design was 360 degrees and all the way down to the metal. But the 7100 was an underpowered Mac in a PC case.

not particularly a fan of his but he is at least bearable in the Infinite Monkey Cage podcast, I suppose mainly cos his co-presenter likes to take the piss out of him

Some news sources reporting replacement will be Sir Trevor McD.

..the ability to reply to any email that doesn't start with (at least) "Hi.."

That makes me like Carl Sagan even more than I already do...
