MattJust got home after watching Rob Newman's comedy show.
There were some really sweet moments in there where his 90s persona shone through.

Robert Newman's The History of Oil
GiGiLishI’m watching #FelixFlicker’s #RoyalInstitute lecture from a couple of years ago and getting serious #HistoryToday era #RobNewman vibes. I can still remember loving a school trip to the #RI to a lecture. You could feel the history. It’s an entertaining lecture by the way on #MagneticMonopoles. He does some magic.

Simon 🪗Interesting thoughtful programme from #RobNewman on R4 just now - good viewpoints on cities, amongst many other things.
This will only make sense if you hear it, but my dad worked at 'the ponds'....

Meh. When the Euro was set up, the same kind of people were saying it could replace the $US as the world reserve currency. Didn't happen. Rob Newman's History of Oil gives an amusing summary of why (the whole thing is great but the relevant bit starts about 19:30):
