Perfect. I'm looking for investors...

And think of how much fun you could have with the sign.

That is a proper thing. We're very lucky - we have a fruit and veg stall that comes to our high street 3 times a week with high quality low cost veg.

What's your trade? My fantasy high street thing is either is a picture framing business or a pub called The Animated Gif that would show cricket but no other sports.

I am delighted to see it, thanks.

Ah, I assumed the brand was specific to haberdashery because it looks like a stitch. Thanks.

Look at you, giving away great business ideas for free!

They're from a hand-me-down haberdashery bag from my mother. They could even be from my grandmother's collection.

Innit. And you can't argue with that price!

I've played enough games of Risk to know that Alaska-to-Kamchatka on its own is often successful, but you need a bit of luck to keep going. But the only way to hold Europe is to expand East or West - you gotta choose one!

I like this format. Might try it.
Your positives - especially that 3rd one - outweigh the negatives.

The Grauniad had it at the same time as us.

These look great and I am in the market for something similar later this year, but have you seen they come fully assembled and need to be lifted into your garden? That wouldn't work for me.

I changed one the other week, after years of abstinence. I still got it!
(The reason was the plastic housing on the old one got brittle and cracked open.)

I wrote a similar thing the other week: weeknot.es/winternote-n...
I also had to take a day off because of exhaustion/stress. Everything feels tough right now. Good luck with the recuperation.
Also, wedding reception at Skehan's sounds like the most fun in a pub ever.

I get that. My biggest regret is having never played Northampton Roadmenders.

Their merch game is strong. 3/4 of the crowd had a GL t-shirt. I even had a GL beer on Friday.
They really do deserve it. The singer talked about getting a bus from Norwich to see Cathedral in the Forum when he was younger, and namechecked the small venues in London "keeping the flame alive".

They really know how to put on a show too. It was big and powerful rather than stadium bombastic, which would have put me off.

Proper good. I did not get involved in the mosh because I am an old man but the crowd was energetically loving it. Lots of claws in the air.
The big songs were BIG. Forest Church came after a few low key numbers and hit so hard.

Will do. We're also seeing Kvelertak tomorrow for double 🤘

Ah, SharePoint.
Yes, it can do that.
No, it won't do that.

We have a team proposing this as part of a wider personalisation strategy. I'm yet to be convinced.

I was watching a Health and Social Care Committee event yesterday. They're very dry, they're sometimes infuriating, but we should be grateful for these channels of criticism and challenge.

The other benefit to this setup is some pretty cool/goth job titles:

Gunpowder. Stupid typo.

I used to share a green tea habit with some colleagues at a previous job and 'Special Gunpoder' was our brew of choice.

Here you go: digital.nhs.uk/services/nhs...
It's for NHS staff only at the moment but we have been asked before to open it up to a wider volunteer base.
I'll email you with contacts.

I assume you're already aware of the NHS App Ambassador scheme. If not, I can put you in touch with that team. Either way, we should get that coffee.

As someone funnier than me said, "Is now really the best time for scientists to be casting doubt over the evidence base? Some people do not need more excuses to question the science."

It really is an odd situation, but when you look at it's clear people are just following the incentives. Freakonomics did 2 episodes on this recently:

Ha! I didn't know it was a Brunel design so congrats for making me search for it.

Er, yeah. We were walking up the Thames at the time. Did you just know that, or did you search for it? Either way, that's impressive identification skills.

I just read your slides. Love 'em, especially cognitive dissonance and devil Cagan. See you soon, I hope.

This is such sad news. Huge ❤️ to her friends and family.
