Somehow that summoned up the rear of Anneka Rice clambering in and out of helicopters. Then, gut-wrenchingly, she transposed into BJ... Please don't do that again.

The only reason Y2K issues did not cause major problems was the sheer amount of work done to avoid them. It was taken as a serious warning and acted on. Despite that, there were issues, just none that caused the worst effects that had been seriously discussed. For example, the operating...

OK folks, the Guardian/Observer are serving up more today: No-deal Brexit will ‘instantly disrupt’ UK’s role as £174bn global data hub University College London report warns of significant legal, economic and social disruption A no-deal Brexit would seriously disrupt the free flow of...

This as undemocratic as you can get without an overt coup. It won't just be European G7 leaders who are angered: Boris Johnson seeks legal advice on five-week parliament closure ahead of Brexit Secret plan to block any delay in leaving EU is likely to anger European leaders at G7 summit Boris...

We (in Wales) might have a few sheep going spare... And we can re-export Russian petroleum products that we import at zero tariff...

Far, far too kind to BJ, but it brings to mind: But we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!

If the Valero refinery in Pembrokeshire does suffer, and eventually close, there will be some effects that are not immediately obvious. Such as loss of fuel supply to (from memory) East Midlands airport - for which there is currently a dedicated pipeline. I am sure there are similar issues for...

I often get involved in arranging the repair of servers. Although I don't actually touch them, I do talk to the warranty people and discuss how they are going to be repaired. Most often, the parts are available within the UK (otherwise they could not manage so many same-day repairs). But every...

Hard to believe that is possible! (Well aware many like it, but to me it is pretty horrible.)

I didn't know until a few years ago, that includes me. Great grandmother would appear to have crossed the sea. But my genetic makeup suggests much more Irish than she would account for.

Good of him say in public, in but his conclusions on Grayling and Truss don't require the master of the rolls' intellect. Former top judge lambasts Grayling and Truss in memoir Lord Dyson, a former master of the rolls, highlights the difficult relationship between judiciary and senior...

Worth reading.

What an utterly self-centred pillock. If he were my MP, I'd be thinking about a recall petition because he is unwilling to do what he was elected to do - perform the duties of an MP.

Just how should I (and partner) prepare? So far as I am aware, there is no reasonable official guidance as to what we should do. Sounds like imploring us to stock up on everything, especially vital things like medicines. We have been told repeatedly that it will have little impact so what does...

Very much - especially if it has been repaired and "enhanced" over the years which would account for the differences that are visible.

Not sure about that. But rear view mirrors would be fairly low on my list of things that need to be changed before I'd travel in it - but only because the list would be so long.

Local refineries for local people... OIL giant Valero has expressed major concerns about plans for petrol tariffs in the event of a No Deal Brexit, following publication of leaked documents that suggested two oil refineries could be forced to close. Valero Pembroke Refinery General Manager Ed...

Interpreting "General discussion" very liberally... Not in the least sure I'd be willing to be anywhere near the M25 in or on this. 'Most unusual' vehicle stopped on M25 in Hertfordshire A homemade motorcycle stopped on the M25 was described by a traffic officer as the "most unusual vehicle"...

We might get away - now that DT seems to have realised that Greenland is a little bigger. About ten times the area.

Currently idly tracking a parcel (it really doesn't matter it it takes a day or a week but I like to know what is happening): Sunday, 18 August 11:14 PM Package departed an Amazon...
