Nice to see the evergreen topic of food making the leap from the Facebook playground of the "DMC" to here. Not sure what the problem is with Yorkshire pudding, though. Light, airy, crispy, well risen, they're great.
The usual UK DMC riposte of course is biscuits and gravy; every picture I've seen of biscuits and gravy looks like something I once trod in in the dark when I had a cat 
Anyway, gutters.
We usually have semicircular (sometimes box section) channels collecting to downpipes which discharge into a drain - often a separate storm drain rather than a foul drain these days. In my garden the rain downpipe is teed into a water butt so that rainwater can be collected to water the plants.
There are various methods used to alleviate clogging, the most popular being the "hedgehog" which looks like a very long bottle brush; this fills the channel so that leaves etc run off over it, but water runs through it. Fairly effective, but not perfect. See above re needles.

My dad called gravy on anything "sh*t on shingles" but he was navy.
Help me - what is DMC?
As for the gutter issue, i would love to see a picture of that hedgehog just out of intense curiosity.

DMC is "Dull Men's Club".
There's a DWC, too.
This[^] is an example of a gutter hedgehog.

well the reference to DMC - bite me. But it's okay, I too dive into conversations without context.
The Lounge is failing me - we introduce a topic with tongue in cheek for some humor and to banter about. Going to reply to the OP to get back on topic.

My replies were meant to be somewhat tongue in cheek, too.
Apart from the hedgehog - that's a real thing.

I haven't received the Daily Developer News since August 29. I was on vacation last week, so I didn't notice. I checked my Junk Mail folder and it's not in there. Any one else having issues with receiving it?

Same, I haven't received one either since August 29th. I have received a Daily Build on 9/6 and 9/9 but no Daily Insider since August 29th.

No. Nobody else is affected. It definitely hasn't been reported in the Site Bugs forum[^] - twice[^]. Nor in the Insider News forum[^]. 
I suspect either everyone's on holiday, or there's a technical problem and they're busy working to fix it.
Kent posted a message[^] in one of those threads last week, so we know he's still around. Hopefully we can get his morning dose of snark back soon.

I find it rather odd that no one from CodeProject central has responded to all these queries.

Same here. Still not getting it. Have you learned anything?

Nothing. It appears to have gone completely dark.

I stopped seeing her after that.

Didn't see it coming.
