Week 55
-
A bit of work. Lots to do â I could tell myself Iâm deliberately being restrained, saving it up for all the further weeks of this lockdown, but thatâs a bit stupid.
-
Some things I forgot to mention in previous weeks:
-
I approve of Helen Zaltzmanâs advice for working from home.
-
A Twitter thread about the origin of the name of the food product âTriscuitâ got some attention. As if to annoy me as precisely as possible, it even began with the phrase âbuckle upâ. The author says he did some âsleuthingâ and âstumbled uponâ evidence that led him uncover the truth, which smells disingenuous because the snack crackersâ Wikipedia page has for some years held some clues. Maybe Iâm taking this too seriously, and poetic licence applies.

-
More Spooks. Another thing I forgot to mention last week: the woman from the BT adverts inexplicably has a picture of a pig:
Well, maybe explicably â itâs an excellent pig, an absolute unit, no explanation needed.
Now, some series and deaths and disappearances of main characters later, Martine McCutcheon â from some yoghurt adverts, and who is famously rhyming slang for âescutcheonâ â has appeared, and well done to her.
-
I enjoyed James Acasterâs âQuarantunesâ playlist, particularly as my Spotify âdiscover weaklyâ playlist has been being rubbish.
Happy new tax year.
