I'm a little nervous about making a BTN of the BTM for fear that the
paradoxical ambiguity could rupture the space-time continuum and the
whole paradigm could disappear up its own fundament.

I have A Plan involving a Raft Of Measures to be Rolled Out in such an
eventuality. British companies with no experience whatsoever of the
matter have been engaged to implement The Plan when the time is right.
To be absolutely specific, this will be at a suitable moment when it is
appropriate.

For now, the existing Transitional Arrangements may remain in force
because, following the usual rigorous vetting procedure[1] by our panel
of experts[2], the nomination is rejected. It was a somewhat off-colour
reference, perhaps, but certainly not tasteless enough to warrant a BTN.
Standards must be maintained, you know.

But much depends on how an emergency is defined and who defines it. It
seems that some emergencies can be planned for at least two years in
advance.

(When does a possible risk become an emergency? Discuss)

I had forgotten this part of Outnumbered until I started going through
the episodes (in reverse order)
<https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b015qqlh/outnumbered-series-4-episode-6>
at 17:30

PS I also think it's a bit unfair, I applaud his encouragement of cycling.

Ottfried,
what other English TV do you like?

Erm, I like Ricky Gervais and
the other comedian, he is, uh...

he plays a character, a very funny
character of the fat politician.

And he has funny, funny blonde hair,
he walks and sometimes cycles,

I see him on a bike on the TV.

Do you mean Boris Johnson?

Yes! Boris Johnson, yes!
It's so funny, you like him also?

No, Ottfried,
he's the Mayor of London.

Yes, he plays the Mayor of London,
a stupid politician...
No...

Very stupid and funny.

Look, Ottfried...
We in Germany love him.

I'm feeling a little nauseous.

Alice.

Russ. Lily. Freddie.

But Lily is lovely now! She took good care of her mummy (although she
was only three - )
Alice is so far a waste of space

Tom is now Puppet Tom, operated by Nasty Nat. With a few years success
in trees and juices she is now reorganising Grange Farm and Tom is
partnering her and not even discussing plans with the others. Except
bragging to Johnny while saying keep it secret.

Johnny has more experience. Years learning from Pat'an'Tony and
working in all areas of the farm with crops, cows and pigs. As well as
doing a college course. He has learned the land he works, which is
important, and got some backup college stuff too and worked on either
Home Farm or Brookfield and was getting experience of big machines and
other animals, doing well enough to be offered a real job there.

And near the top of my list is slimey Philip. He undercut Eddie for
work, and that adds David to my list. He should have given the work to
Eddie. I hope the work goes horribly wrong. Slimeball also bounced in
to bully Snappy about the running.

Definitely Philip. And Kirsty could go. I was quite glad Brian had a go
at her. I'd be very pleased if Natasha and Tom would move away.

And I'd like Alan and Usha to be heard more.

Philip is I believe a professional builder, by comparison I think Eddie
can only be considered a professional bodger.

I think, purely through long experience, Eddie _can_ be competent at a
wide range of tasks. His shortcoming would be that, though he knows
fairly well what needs doing, he'd be inclined to cut corners. I don't
_think_ he'd do that for David, if only because he'd never hear the end
of it.

There was a motorway bridge collapse in Genoa last year, largely
attributed to Mafia involvement in construction and poor quality cement,
which may well be true, but I've also read that the actual trigger was a
3 tonne roll of steel cable falling off a lorry as it went over the bridge.

Ah, I was similarly "whooshed" before that explanation. The alleged mafia
involvement hadn't featured in the articles I'd read, which were more
about the rather crappy design and consequent difficulty of the necessary
inspections.
