Seeing a lot of new people so thought I’d reintroduce myself again. I’m from England, born down south, lived up North for over half my life. Here for sport (esp Cambridge United), crap jokes, History, chess and neurodiversity content.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me
In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

And this is who should be invited back to my old school to be the speaker and not some crusty diplomat head of a civil service (yes I did go to the same school as most of Pink Floyd, although it wasn’t at the same time!)
Did you know David Gilmour once sold his £3 million London mansion and donated every penny to a homeless charity called Crisis? He said, "I don't need all this luxury while others are fighting for a roof."
No media catwalk, no rockstar egos-just pure generosity.

Think solar farms are bad for nature? Think again.
Those designed for nature in East Anglia are teeming with birdlife - including threatened species. A new study reveals why. ⤵️

I was once whingeing to Paul McCartney that I'll always be known primarily for the Wombles. Straight-faced, without irony, he said, "Yeah, I have the same problem with The Beatles".😂

Because some damn fool asked, here's a thread about Baxter.
This was taken on the day I brought home Baxter and threw away all hope of an easy life.

If Ashwin does go into punditry then I’d love him to be on TMS this summer with Jimmy Anderson discussing “shredder-gate” #Tailenders
I’ll miss watching Ashwin in Test cricket. One of the game’s deepest thinkers and craftiest offspinning technicians. I’d love to see him in the Championship. And undoubtedly he’ll be a highly sought after pundit, if he chooses that route.
