Yeah, I know the BBC is big and there are going to be horrible people working in any big organisation, but people seem obsessed with the idea that it's some sort of haven for rapists and paedophiles and I wonder if there are more or less of them at the BBC than you would expect.

Have there been any studies into whether there's a higher or lower number of journalists/presenters/executives being involved in scandals at the BBC vs any other media organisation or do we just hear more about them because no other media business on earth gets as much scrutiny.

I had a very similar CD/cassette/radio as a teen. Used to sit listening to the Top 40 and hitting record just as the good songs came on.

Great days.

His mother was a nurse and they moved to Florid and he ended up committing a stranger rape as a 14 year old and spent 20 years in prison.

She was from a wealthy, aristocratic family (her dad was page boy to Queen Elizabeth II) but went off the rails as a teenager. She was sent to stay at Synagogue, Church of All Nations in Lagos, Nigeria. A church who have had a large number of allegations made of systemic physical and sexual abuse.

They met by chance and were living in a tent for some time before they were in temporary accommodation with their 4 children when she was pushed out of the window while pregnant with her 5th causing social services to remove the rest of their children.

It seems to be a pretty tragic case of abuse, mental illness and incompetent and underfunded services that's resulted in at least one miscarriage, one infant death and 4 children being raised in care.

Yes

You are implying that he's a paedophile because he knows a paedophile. Am I a wife beater because I know someone who beat their wife?

There's any number of reasons to not like either of them but just having an association with a paedophile doesn't automatically make you also a paedophile which is what OP is claiming.

Woken was first used in the 1930s to encourage black Americans and other minority groups to be aware of the prejudice and discrimination against them by white Americans.

It's more like the term hadn't become a catchall phrase for the right to dismiss all forms of injustice without having to engage with the actual issue.

So was the Queen and Margaret Thatcher, does that mean they're also paedophiles?

I was able to do it without any sign in

Do the British and Irish dialect quiz. It's really interesting to find out what words you use and how you pronounce them pinpoint where you grew up and where your family is from. I've got a mixture of London, Midlands and Devon and it's bang on!

The song was written by an American so understandable that they'd do it with the wrong pronunciation.

The D-Day landings Normandy, but from the point of view of a reluctant conscripted teenage German boy having to cope with the ever increasing fear and dread as the sheer number of ships and planes on the horizon increases.

As long as its still about family.

Not afraid of AI, just what it produces is invariably shit.

Green King's (and the other large pubco chains) business model is to trap people who think "I could run a pub" and use up their 50k retirement fund to pay the GKs mortgage for them and force them to buy their product at grossly inflated wholesale prices until the go bankrupt or realise they're in a trap and bail. Then they do it all again.

If anyone somehow manages to actually turn a profit, they find an excuse to evict the tenant and install a manager instead and extract anything of value before starting the cycle over again when it inevitably slides into unprofitability.

My dad had a mac so as kids we were very limited in what we could play. Broderbund products were therefore a staple in our house. Kid Pix, Zoombinis, Prince of Persia, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego.

Lithium ion battery chemistry is actually incredibly well understood and easily calculated as a point value and also extrapolated into capacity values using data on how you use your phone.

Aioli isn't garlic mayonnaise, it's minced garlic cloves emulsified into olive oil, sometimes with a bit of lemon juice. The modern sauce usually called Aioli is actually garlic may made to sound more up market and "traditional". It's kindof the inverse of your point but perversely done for the same reason, to get Americans to eat it.
