I love that Canada’s national dish is pro level chips and cheese. If I had a country I’d do the same

Character actor George Wendt was known to a generation as Norm, the beleaguered, lovable everyman on the sit-com "Cheers." He died this week at the age of 76.

Just listening to “Six Minutes In May” by Nicholas Shakespeare that focuses on the bungled UK-France counter attack on Germany’s invasion of Norway. Winston Churchill, as First Lord of the Admiralty, does not come out of that counter offensive well. www.penguin.co.uk/books/430462...

Because it's seasonally relevant (again), just a reminder that we small Indie manufacturers don't have shareholders to satisfy, just bills to pay. And that while there's no algorithm here, Reposting stuff is the best way to help with visibility for us.

WTF? If this Government can’t even agree to this smallest of initiatives, which has no cost to them & absolutely no down-sides, what hope that it will step up to the bigger nature challenges we face? This is a *popular* policy, for heavens sake. Obstinate tin-eared stupidity doesn’t come close …

Wonder if Starmer will do the "back me or I'm off" thing if the issue is forced?

Apocalyptic scenes from Kyiv overnight. Russia sent in 250 strike drones & ballistic missiles. 8 cities attacked & ALL civilian targets - colleges, shops, homes. History shows that weakness only emboldens the aggressor & Trump’s strategy with Putin has been a catastrophe. (📸 Cyrille Amoursky)

I believe this means the sun will set over the entirety of the British Empire tonight for the first time in several hundred years. Chagos is the dot below India on this map. Sunset in the Pitcairns (dot in the Pacific) will happen ~40 minutes before sunrise in Akrotiri and Dhekelia (dot on Cyprus).

Just chatting to a lovely chap there. Ever the optimist. He told me that ‘when one door closes, another one opens.’ Works for Boeing.
