@hareinthefire Yes, you're right- probably too old but would have ticked a lot of boxes. I've also just remembered that he has effectively already played the part (sort of) in O Brother, Where Art Thou.

@riversorare @John_Stepek It would be interesting to plot net worth against the point at which most people would take the certain sum. I'd definitely be tempted at £5m, because that's complete financial freedom for me versus a 50-50 shot at a life that I'd only consider marginally better than the £5m one.

@joncstone It really does- the inability to see that different circumstances might mean you place different weight on the upside and downside risks.

@MadsDavies Agreed. I would happily pay my licence fee for Only Connect and R3 alone!

@MartinKnight_ And least ability to defend herself. A horrific crime.

I don’t think people realize how absurd this is. Scottish runner Josh Kerr just broke the mile world record in 3:42.66, an average speed of 16.2 mph. Most people couldn’t even briefly reach that speed, let alone sustain it for an entire mile.

@London_W4 @jennirsl Yes very happily. It’s definitely easier now than when I was younger though- partly times have changed and partly getting older means less hassle.

@DanNeidle The y axis is % of people earning £200k in each age group (not % in each age group who earn £200k). The age groups aren’t consistent- some are 9 years’ span and some only 4 years. Terrible graph all round.

@TheSimonEvansX Getting the audience to tell him not to stop feels particularly nasty. But I find a lot of TV from this period lands differently now- Simon Amstell and Preston on NMTB, for example, although I thought it was hilarious at the time.

@LucyGoBag And where people can store all that water. 7 litres per person per day!

@GerryHassan I remember this- the made up family were called Al, Alexandra, Ali, Harry and Barry.

This 3rd century Roman floor mosaic at an entrance to public bathhouse depicts a pair of bathing sandals, an oil flask and three curved “strigils” used for scraping off sweat, dirt and oil. The inscription declares that bathing is good for you (Sabratha Museum, Libya)

this is what they took from you

@BBCNews Such a sad story. I wish them well in trying to prevent other children suffering the same.

@timesnewemma Possibly intended as a joke but actually 100% correct.

@John_Stepek @im_goomba It’s not just screen use by toddlers but the lack of attention, interaction and eye contact caused by having a parent on a screen all day.

@albertedwards99 This was really interesting, thanks
