    I think it might have been a temporary/transient issue - maybe the last few files were still being uploaded as I checked! Seems OK for me now and I have not yet restarted - as I am trying to listen to the presser.

    Johnson just mentioned a national Covid vaccine booking service. I just wanted to find out more - specifically whether "national" means UK, GB, England or some other definition. Found it. Then got told they don't support Internet Explorer. Which is not at all interesting for someone who uses...

    I think they've decided to tell you to pick a dandelion: The piglet was sitting on the ground at the door of his house blowing happily at a dandelion, and wondering whether it would be this year, next year, sometime or never. He had just discovered that it would be never and was trying to...

    Sometime later... I also wonder what will happen if Pence goes back to the White House? I can imagine Trump doing what he said near the beginning, shooting Pence expecting to get away with it. What I can't imagine is Pence being able in any sense to work with Trump.
