What I learned/reconfirmed today today

[pez]

1. Newts are annoying. And they like ponds. Lots of them.



2. Wading birds dislike tall structures. Apparently such structures make them feel intimidated and confused.



3. American thin-wall construction gas pipes are a pain in the ass. And a very expensive one.



4. TfL are a bunch of fucking assholes and are getting worse all the time.



5. EA has a say about structures that are within 16m of their flood defences.



6. Somebody went out to a meeting today with a drawing that has reverse curves. I hope he didn't get slaughtered.



7. They're putting kassel kerbs along a stretch of road near home that clearly does not need them. Can't they spend that money on putting down some gullies on my street instead?



8. I have an ending to my fic. Now I just have to write it.
