Glandular fever would probably kill specimens that robust...

I have a friend who makes out he's at deaths door, when he has a cold.

25 years ago when I got glandular fever, I remember being really disappointed that I wasn't suffering more - I only took 3 days break from school.

I've been wondering the same thing. I mean, jeez, report the results from 1600 precincts? Un-elephanting-believable how someone can screw that up.
I can't wait for the news to report who actually wrote the app, and what language and framework they used.

That's already available from expense reports. "Shadow Inc" if you can believe that

These guys?[^]Quote: Lightrail is the universal adapter for political data. It’s a data integration and automation tool that makes it easier for users to get your organization’s data where it needs to go, and makes complicated workflows simple, repeatable, and scalable.
But it doesn't scale up as far as 1600, apparently.
addendum
I've crawled all over their extremely limited, off-the-shelf site, but, despite their claiming to deal with political data, there's no mention that they know what evil lurks in the heart of man.

Well what do you expect when you hire QuidPro Co to build your app?
Now do healthcare!
I, for one, like Roman Numerals.

They probably got a company in Ukraine to write it.

And absolutely no pressure was put on them by anyone.

Years from now, we'll be able to tell our forebears the story of how we were there, watching, when that word got its new meaning.

It's from them all being convinced by Crazy Adam Schiff that Trump was about to sell Alaska to the Russians.

Is that a delivery which looks like a normal leg-spinner but actually turns towards the batsmen, like an off-break, rather than away from the bat; unlike a normal leg-break, a google is delivered out of the back of the hand, with the wrist 180 degrees to the ground?*

I wanted to link to a clip of that old advert where a kid says it (no idea what it was advertising).
I may have broken the speed record for closing a tab.

Years ago there were ads for (I think) Worthington E, with the strapline, "It's what your right arm's for". A number of jokes on that theme emerged in various lads' mags (not that I ever bought any).

I think I maybe might possibly not search on that line, either.

Years ago I was helping an elderly neighbour with her new TV. She wanted to control it using the Sky remote just like she did with her old on. "Easy!" I thought. "I'll just Google the TV manufacturer, and get the info from them" So one quick Google for "Bush" later ...

It was some game with spinning tips that were spun using a piece of string. I think the winner was the one whose top smashed into the competitors' tops. I remember the ad, but I also cannot remember the product. That was the problem with the old ads - your remember the tag lines, but not the products. Unlike modern ads which are so anodyne (is that a real word?) that you can't remember them at all (or is that a facet of getting older?).

No, it's the ads.
Marketing is no longer a demesne for creative people, it's a pit for morons who can only follow processes.
