What significant things have I done today?

Currently posting from a tablet, which makes creating links virtually impossible, but when I get back to some vintage 20C hardware with a mouse and a keyboard, I'll post you a YouTube of some Public School Peer of the Realm singing Beatles songs in Latin in the House of Lords, and being told to sit down because you can only use English in the Chamber.

Android or iOS?

Normally in Android you can keep a link or portion of text pressed for a few seconds which will allow you to copy or cut the text in question.

How do you select the text?

How do you tell it to copy?

If I go to YouTube on my Android, it opens using the YouTube app, so the url is not visible or copyable.

Anyway, it was Derek Enright, I am afraid he was just an MP and not a Lord. He was challenged by Nicholas Fairbairn MP to sing a Beatles song in Latin, so he sang Yellow Submarine. I can't find the video any more, will the page from Hansard do?

[Opsa]

Hah! I just sang "Habitamus sub vitreo, sub vitreo, sub vitreo" to th'Opsalette and she got it right away. Love it!

Why are you living under glass?
Or did you misunderstand it as 'we are the living underclass'

What the f* has it to do with running this country? I might just have tolerated it if it was Michael Gove who was challenged.

Actually you can copy it, click on the share button and one of the options is copy to clipboard, it will give you the full youtube URL and from that you can take the code.

Nicholas Fairbairn (pictured) would not take seriously anyone who did not have a decent Classical education. How can you be the right sort of chap to run the country if you can't speak Latin and if you don't wear a cravat.

Oh right. Silly me. How about means testing prospective MPs?

I passed the 750 stanza mark on my epic (753.5 at the moment)

[Opsa]

All right Swato! So where are you percentage-wise?

[Griffin NoName]

Did you wave as you went by?

Well done.

[Swatopluk]

Did you wave as you went by?

Hm, maybe I wavered a bit

All right Swato! So where are you percentage-wise?

No idea actually. Especially close to 'round' numbers I tend to produce a lot of filler material (dialogue) to get there quickly.
I hope it'll get to 1000 but I do not know, whether that would require more empty filling or will get passed easily before the last gap* is closed.

*I do not write it chronologically or even chapterwise. It's a few stanzas here, a few stanzas there slowly growing together.
