waugh

I mean, Waugh was a comic writer; if he was still around he probably _would_ be writing sitcoms.

Also of interest is vile bodies, which is a very good but characteristically depressing book by evelyn waugh.

Reminiscent of this letter by Evelyn Waugh to his wife during the Second World War: > Darling...

The list also doesn't include players like Ricky Ponting, Mark Waugh and Shane Warne who got away with a fine from the ACB.

There is a story about Evelyn Waugh (Brideshead Revisited, Vile Bodies &c) coming downstairs and finding the kids fruit ration in WW2, and eating his Son's (Auberon Waugh, of Private Eye fame) banana with gusto.

I wish waugh had been able to read it but I wonder if he would have.

To be conservative, studies that find higher elasticities near 3-4 (e.g., Broda and Weinstein 2006; Simonovska and Waugh 2014; Soderbery 2018) were drawn on.

Now, I still think you are right about waugh there.

Until I read Paul Graham I had never heard of another entrepreneurial programmer who liked Evelyn Waugh and Wodehouse and placed such an enormous value on doing hard things.

Test cricket I do think has resulted more because of drs, but also because teams have become more aggressive (a change made by the great aussie team under steve waugh).

Years ago I read a column by the late, great Auberon Waugh that convinced me that this argument, though well-intentioned, is at best ancillary and at worst wrong-headed: > [J]udicial execution can never cancel or remove the atrocity it seeks to punish; it can only add a second atrocity to the original one.

Feather-footed through the plashy fen passes the questing vole"," is Evelyn Waugh's take on the gentleman naturalist in "Scoop" (1938) a role which Peter Matthiessen seems to have taken to heart.

I think Waugh's quote is on point with why them being explicit is relevant (and it's not about the prudish takes): > “The format that they use that in is not the greatest,” Kick said.

Especially amusing is Waugh's invention of the "Happier Hunting Ground annual postcard service" for dearly departed pets that predicts features discussed for the never built "After I Go" app that features in the article.

After reading any parts of the Bible I tend to feel as inspired as Randolph Churchill who, as described by Evelyn Waugh: "In the hope of keeping him quiet for a few hours Freddy & I have bet Randolph 20[pounds sterling] that he cannot read the whole Bible in a fortnight.

As for Waugh, he believed that 'modernity', taken to mean the beliefs that inform contemporary thought and behaviour, was contemptible.

The Loved One (1948) was a bit of a squib at best, tonally a throwback to the earlier Waugh.

Waugh's journey from satire to orthodoxy mirrors many tech careers—from disruptive iconoclasm to seeking deeper principles.
