            Program on C4 now, "638 ways to kill Castro", seems quite interesting.

            22:00 638 Ways to Kill Castro

            There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but how many ways are there to bump off a political enemy? Apparently not enough to bring down revolutionary Cuban leader Fidel Castro. This is a story of smoking guns and smoking cigars: a remarkable 50-year-long detective thriller, and the man who always got away.

              That words post is a bit ****.

              So, a bit like a palindrome but not quite.....

              10 points for who can name the longest palindrome.....

                Comment


                  Depends what your criteria are - the longest palindrome is almost certainly the palindromic novel "Satire: Veritas", at 58,000 words.

                  If you're looking for a single sentence or a single word then it's a bit more contentious.

                    I'm pretty sure it's rotavator.

                    Comment


                      The longest palindromic word in the Oxford English Dictionary is tattarrattat, coined by James Joyce in Ulysses for a knock on the door. The Guinness Book of Records gives detartrated, the past tense of detartrate, a somewhat contrived chemical term meaning to remove tartrates. Rotavator, a trademarked name for an agricultural machine, is often listed in dictionaries.

                        Wow. This fart of mine smelled very much like toasted ginger. A first.

                          Lovely.

                          Rant time.

                          Last week one of my parent dogs was diagnosed as diabetic, needs injecting with Inulin twice a day, no problem, except the cost of the Insulin.

                          Parents were told to buy the Insulin in "a weeks worth" bottle; costs ?55 a week.

                          So ?220 a month, plus dog also needs heart medication, ?110 a month and special dietry food ?50 a month. Kerching, ?380 a month (they don't have insurance for the dog)

                          To cut a long story short, Mum told vet they couldn't afford that each month, he checks his suppliers catalogue and agrees to let them have a bottle containing a months worth of Insulin at cost, ?27 !!!! (ongoing deal),

                          So price has gone from ?220 down to ?27 a month on Insulin - how's that for a profit margin.

                              I read that the first time as:
                              Last week one of my parents was diagnosed as diabetic.

                              I was about to go into a rant that the NHS shouldn't be allowed to get away with charging, then I came to my senses and realised it was vet not Dr!!

                              A lot of industries have humongous mark ups like that mate, gotta live with it I'm afraid.

                              My sister used to manage a hotel/restaurant and the mark ups on their goods (especially wine) were astonishing. Things like ?10 bottles of wine costing them 2 quid!

                              Spag, that's harsh..

                                Well i shall have a rant

                                I am fed up with the way people treat dogs in my area they just let them run loose and do not bother to train them at all.

                                Trouble is some of these dogs are quite vicious as well which is worrying with the amount of small kids around
