Comment on Roman date plugin for Blosxom by Orangeaurochs

A good idea. That is, if you accept the American presidents and VPs to be in any way the successors to the consuls of Rome. Popes would be a good one and would be a continuous run from consular times, although there is (usually) only one of them and their appointment runs on (again, usually) until death rather than for a year. Ditto, US presidents I suppose, as theirs is a four year term, which would need some royal-style designation, such as “in the 3rd year of president Reagan’s first administration” or something.

“according to ruling consuls of which there have not been any in Rome for some time.”

Go by USian presidents and vice presidents instead

I fear this will come up in Wiltshire- the petrolheads versus the pansy-assed city dwelling liberals (we will win through our superior ethics) (Insert lisping Essex joke here)

Passengers in a car get to choose air-conditioning in the same way that they do in a train, no? IN the sense that there’s no problem turning on a blower which points just at them. Every car in the world supports that. If you’re a car passenger and you want different music then you’ve got the same recourse as a train, too: bring a walkman. I completely concede that you can neither pee nor sleep nor walk about in a car, and it’s a limitation on big journeys, but then who goes on big journeys on a regular basis? Apart from people who work in London but live miles outside it, obviously.
Sitting in the back is also pretty grim, which is why I don’t do it. On the other hand, we’re talking about driving here, rather than passengering, no? One of the oft-suggested solutions to road congestion is to make people share cars more; this would introduce the passenger problems you’re talking about, but it’d also drop the road congestion enormously, I’d have thought.
