Good see-saw of a game today. Bet Jonny will be kicking himself for missing 260 and the last numbers, as they'd have seen him over the line.

Interesting chat at the beginning about the direction of time. It's weird that we use the terms "forward" and "back" both ways round.

Earlier times at the front:
- school exercises telling you to put letters "in front of" a word to form another word
- bringing a scheduled action or event forward, or pushing it back
- holding back on doing something
- sense of "before" as "in front of"
- looking back at the past
- backdating
- back issues
- probably every description of time travel I've come across
- looking forward to something
