Lazlo Biro invented the pen named after him. I knew that bit, but couldn't work out the 'enthusiastic vigour' part. I had to cheat and look up anagrams of Biro and found Brio means enthusiasm / vigour (I thought it was just wooden toy train sets).

It should be @pkfox who is up tomorrow - he had posted before me. Are you (@pkfox) happy to take it on? You always post much better CCCs than I do and I haven't anything in mind.

Yes - was (trying to?) reply to pkfox - then also got confused as to who had cheated done additional research to confirm their answer. So it's PKFOXUT.
(The "cheat" bit is very much tongue-in-cheek - I suspect most of us will google to verify a meaning or confirm a spelling!)

Cheers Derek I knew he invented the biro but didn't see the anagram at my first stab

I was looking at my Yahoo Mail, and I got this strange URL:

What is this supposed to mean? Is a "crumb" a piece of a cookie?

That's a dumbass programmer being cute instead of issuing an appropriate error message that gives you initial guidance toward correcting the problem.
It's also an invitation to be terminated with prejudice if they were my employee.

In that case, the error message to the user is not only obscure, but unnecessary. If a "breadcrumb" trail is invalid, you simply can't go back to the previous page; you don't display a useless error which the user can do nothing about (though you may want to log the error in your internal log).
I can understand the person who posted that this message is cause for termination. It certainly is cause for a strong lecture on the dos and don'ts of error messages that can be seen by the user.

Well, season 2 anyway: Good Omens season 2 - release date, cast, plot and more[^]
Bad news is "not released until next year" - but hopefully even without the late, great Sir pTerry at the helm Neil Gaiman will make a good fist of it (Sir pTerry and Neil were planning a sequel "668 - the Neighbour of the Beast" so pTerry should be "visible" in series 2).
I'll watch it anyway!

Well, that's another one to add to the list to watch next year. Herself and I are also waiting on Shetland Season 6, Outlander Season 6, Grand Designs, and Clarkson's Farm Season 2.

Clarkson's Farm was surprisingly good - not really what I expected, but very "Jeremy" if you know wjhat I mean.
But S2 is not confirmed yet: Jeremy Clarkson urges fans to complain as Amazon farm show axed despite rave reviews[^] Ignore the "axed" bit - the Scum is a UK tabloid that only ever talks in terms of disasters and ladies bumpy bits - it's probably unconfirmed - Amazon would be mad to dump the best rated Series they have made after just one season!

Agreed! It's my favorite show on Prime.

I've been really enjoying The Expanse if you like space science fiction. On season 3 at the moment and it's been excellent. First season is a bit slow at first to build out the world but the end of the season goes hard and it hasn't let up yet.

Awesome. I'll give it a try.
One of my favorite series is Battlestar Galactica. Both the original and the remake.
