Economics and similar, for the sleep-deprived
A subtle change has been made to the comments links, so they no longer pop up. Does this in any way help with the problem about comments not appearing on permalinked posts, readers?
Update: seemingly not
Update: Oh yeah!

From the department of "are you fucking kidding me"?
Me, in Blood & Treasure comments, four years ago:
I keep getting this idea for a screenplay about some Al Qaeda terrorists who hijack the Eurostar, aiming to run it off the rails at the Waterloo end for a massive coup de theatre and huge loss of life. The tension builds and builds throughout the film until the final denouement, when it is revealed that the Al Qaedas had a fundamental misunderstanding about the nature of points switching and end up in a siding outside Clapham.
Unstoppable. An entire movie based on this intrinsically fucked premis. Based on a true story. A true story under which the problem was handled sensibly and with a minimum of drama, as it obviously would have been.
The experiment with reality clearly isn't working. Back to the Philip K Dick psychotropics for me.
