TMS wins flash bragging crown with 100TB monster

TMS? Ashes? Lily Allen?

I'm with Blitheringeejit there... I also thought that there was some new angle on Test Match Special... possibly with a Lily Allen angle. Although calling her a 100TB monster would probably be a bit random... and the bit about flashing piqued my interest.

Oh well - another few weeks and my life can return to a kind of post-Ashes normality.

Pier Review?

I'm very amused at Jeremys earlier comments... espcially his concept of "pier review"

"Given that documentaries are made by investigative journalists and not scientists, they are not subject to pier review for journals etc."

Visions of scientists having their work scrutinised at the end of a jetty, being lobbed into the North Sea should their abstract not truly reflect the findings, or should deeper analysis of employed methods uncover statistical shortcomings...

Perhaps it's something that should be applied to journalists after all?
