Not a word about an péist ripéanach

The reaction time needed to minimise it. I guess the idea was you would have it open and it would just look like a Word doc.

There’s a Chrome plugin to display Reddit in Outlook format; maybe worth investigating cc @Rocko

Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be.

Nostalgia mate, it’s a fucker. My first job, I worked with this old pro copywriter. Greek, named Teddy. And Teddy told me the most important idea in advertising is “new”. Creates an itch. You simply put your product in there as a kind of… calamine lotion. But he also talked about a deeper bond with the product: nostalgia. It’s delicate… but potent. Teddy told me that in Greek, “nostalgia” literally means, “the pain from an old wound”. It’s a twinge in your heart, far more powerful than memory alone

you gonna try and flog us a kodak carousel now?

It’s not a carousel, it’s a time machine
