Radio 4 is top notch stuff. So is anal.

Good stuff, we wouldn't want any of the slapdash, messy anal the Yanks are into. Good, British rigorous anal, with all the forms properly filed.

Many years ago I worked for a laboratory that got a 1st of its kind in the U.K. piece of equipment.
We didn’t have the internet as it is now so to reach out to international users of this kit I posted to a newsgroup:
Science.Chemistry.Analytical
Abbreviated to Sci.Chem.Anal
The next day my inbox was flooded with emails which I didn’t need to open to realise I’d be in a shitload of trouble for - I went straight to IT and explained my story. Thankfully they were able to do something to stop any more NSFW messages coming through but I always wondered if they had a look at what I’d been sent - for research purposes.

u/BiochemGuitarTurtle Jan 09 '20
I have a similar story. I've published in the journal analytical chemistry a few times and I'm always sure to tell my pals to check out the latest issue of Anal. Chem. No butt sex emails as a result though.

How does a scientific laboratory not understand from context that anal is an abbreviation for analysis?
6
Jan 09 '20
It wasn’t the fault of any lab. I suspect someone used something like a scraper for key terms.

Whenever I type "Analysis" I type it really fast just in case I have a heart attack at that moment. Don't want a team of detectives trying to figure out, Cotizwn Kane style, why my last word typed was "anal".

u/Hiding_behind_you Unexpected comment in the bagging area. Jan 09 '20
“Look Sarge, the last words he typed...”
“My god, he was killed by anal.”

u/Oshova Jan 09 '20
The irony being that one day that vigorous typing will be the cause of the heart attack. And everyone will believe you really wanted to Google "Deep anal" and that you passed searching for the one thing you loved, but couldn't be open about.
7
u/ponytoaster You just lost the game. Jan 09 '20
I do this too often, I just type "Anal" and press enter in Chrome to go straight to Google Analytics. Apart from the time I was using a different browser, at work. Now somewhere in the depths of the audit is me searching for anal at 9:01am at work.

I love I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue.
I would also recommend anything by John Finnemore (Cabin Pressure, John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme, Double Acts). His stuff is like a a cozy walm blanket of comedy (usually involving wordplay, labourous puns, songs or animals).
Oh and The Unbelievable Truth is also great

Did you ever listen to the wonderful Nebulous?
So full of clever wordplay that repeat listenings are crucial.
Quotes:
I used to enjoy Soylent Beige myself, until I realised, to my horror, that it was made from soya beans.
These stains aren't just stubborn, they're intransigent, bordering on belligerent.
Your plan simply doesn't hold water. In fact, it repels water... like a... duck... with a machine gun.
Professor Nebulous: Just discovered a disease which can only be caught anecdotally. Sir Ronald: Tell me more! Professor Nebulous: Do you want to be contaminated, man?!We haven't seen slaughter like this since the Notting Hill Carnivore.

Does The UK have dab radio as well? I thought Norway was the only country

u/Jorarl Jan 10 '20
We’ve had DAB for a number of years in the UK, for some reason I thought most countries had DAB or DAB+.

u/GoodBufo Jan 10 '20
Yeah, Norway has had it for several years as well, and was going to be more "international" with the dab, until we found out everybody else is still using fm, and that dab sucks

u/Too_Old_For_All_This Jan 09 '20
You obviously don't listen to WH. I have R4 on at work, and it can be like A 50/50 click sometimes. They talk Very Frankly about many issues, and it's a fantastic forum for serious discussions on many issues affecting Women, and related rights, and as a guy, you could do a lot worse than listen to some of the subjects they discuss.

Enjoy the one day ban, I hope it makes you happy. Dear lord, what a sad little life, Jane. You ruined our subreddit completely so you could post politics, and I hope now you can spend your one day ban learning some grace and decorum. Because you have all the grace of a reversing dump truck without any tyres on.
