@Virus2Host @fitterhappierAJ @chiller Wow, thread resurrection much. Anyway, "nah" is wrong. That tl;dr screed bears me out. It contains a much longer list of post-viral symptoms than anyone diagnosed with ME/CFS is tested for.

It's the Seasonal Reposting Competition! Repost this over the weekend, and on Sunday one lucky person will win a signed copy of one of my books. For you or the #crossword addict in your life: 50 fiendish @guardian #puzzles and all the stories behind them

I always found this bit of memoir by the late Tom Braun of Merton (a child refugee from the Nazis) an exceptionally touching one: the British spirit one felt an immediate sympathy for by comparison with the Soviet block, too.

@larbdevi If calorie-counting doesn't work for you, you could try getting into gut microbiota instead. Although this still involves a lot of yoghurt.

@ChrisO_wiki This is true. Also the non-Jews caught by the race laws. My grandfather buried his Iron Cross, to rust away in a garden in Birmimgham.

@AP_Davison I was asking for, er, a friend. I'm sure Pope Leo would be indifferent to his prospects.

[Henry Braun @htfb]

@AP_Davison Does the handbook contain any practical advice for those wanting to be deified, though?

[Henry Braun @htfb]

@TheWestonMike @MikeyCycling Well, yes, but. We're talking about drivers. And also, frankly, cyclists. The junction design should reduce as far as possible the opportunity for stupid inconsiderate people to do stupid inconsiderate things.

@benjyminty @spacejourney11 @MikeyCycling Nobody is making you engage. But there are better responses to a good counterexample than to throw insults.

[Henry Braun @htfb]

@benjyminty @spacejourney11 @MikeyCycling That's obviously not true at pelican crossings. But it also dodges the question.

[Henry Braun @htfb]

@benjyminty @spacejourney11 @MikeyCycling Do go on.

By which I mean, feel free to explain what the difference is and what difference it makes.

I chose the word for emphasis - we are talking of a place where vehicles meet vehicles - but I'm happy to be explained how I'm wrong to.

[Henry Braun @htfb]

@spacejourney11 @benjyminty @MikeyCycling I'm not sure what you are getting at here. I'm talking about how a junction works, not the rest of the route.

[Henry Braun @htfb]

@ChimeraX2021 @MikeyCycling Never risk a "surely."

[Henry Braun @htfb]

@benjyminty @MikeyCycling Well, no. Generally you have a wiggly slow approach with difficult angles of vision for cyclists crossing, and a straight unimpeded approach for cyclists on the road. A road-road junction with such a layout would give priority to the through route.

[Henry Braun @htfb]

@MikeyCycling The zebra stripes need also to go across the cycle path, and they need octagon 🛑STOP🛑 signs for cyclists crossing.

[Henry Braun @htfb]

@MikeyCycling I loathe those. The paint doesn't make it clear that drivers are to stop short of the zebra stripes. And when bikes meet bikes they reverse the natural priority, and everybody gets it wrong. I've seen collisions.

He wouldn't have made us of meat."

@redbyname @RoguePOTUSStaff Believe me, I have absolutely no idea of American football terms. I know it's basically Rugby League without the forward pass rule, but what's this knee business?

[Henry Braun @htfb]

@RoguePOTUSStaff Or cricket, obvs.

[Henry Braun @htfb]

@RoguePOTUSStaff Can you translate that to soccer or rugby, for your international audience?
