Surely not—no one bravely employing a deliberate redundancy like "urbane man about town" would stoop to derision.

It's probably well-marinaded. But it's not the liver I want. Just some stem cells from the bone marrow.

Do you have to choose which one to take? Donor #1 had bad veins and lived near a centre that does not insert central lines for harvesting. Donor #2 had elevated liver function tests, and had drunk his/her way through lockdown (that does not matter at all to me, but if the elevated LFTs were due to ...

A third donor has been found, so it looks like we're aiming for a mid-February start to the transplant. I might get home in time for Miata season!

So the infamous 'grooming gang report' is out, or at least that part of it we are allowed to see. We know that 84% of men convicted in such cases are Asian Muslims.

Trump's hand was played out anyway.

Now I think about it, those glasses should be issued to Trump's election scrutineers so they make look into the hearts and ballots of the millions of dead Venezuelans who voted, or whatever Giuliani is claiming.

Well that's exactly what it was all about:
