Re: Wednesday Open Thread (4.00 / 2)

me knows you won't read this comment, what with being so busy writing, but me must point out a very hopeful sign in the data you've posted.

increasing rate of STIs in people 45 plus

A further data point PROVING that there is still a small hope for civilization (assuming that STI means Standardized Tumescent Insertion), that old folk can enjoy life's pleasures somewhat unabated.

We now return you to your writing.

Yes CH, that's absolutely right. The 45+ cache is constructed as a bunch of risk-taking rompers.

False assumption, I'm afraid, CH. STI means Substandard Tumescence Incidents.

Re: Wednesday Open Thread (none / 0)

Risk taking rompers, substandard tumescence incidents, my primitive brain is whirling with dichotomy? In Wales data shows general exuberance in old folk, while your data seems skeweddd to a rather small subset.

Looks like we'll have to rerun the experimerriment.

Experiments? Her sources are newspapers for god's sakes.

Re: Wednesday Open Thread (4.00 / 2)

The source of that particular quote that CH is so excited about is the Huddersfield Daily Examiner.

So further examination of the subject matter could well be lined up, in the pub or elsewhere.

Normal experimental procedure (in such matters) begins in a pub, i was teached. Which leads to newspaper articules, quite normal. Following on the research papers are published, leading to constructive dissertation in a pub.

Sounds, to me, like the techniques and methods of social research from that well-known Eastern European philosopher Carol Ila.

Tonight it's Karol Grappa, but we won't quibble. (wish it were Caol Ila)
