What I learned/reconfirmed today today

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.
