The only time I've kept a beard for any significant duration I shaved it off for the winter because I don't like the way it tangles up with woollen jumpers.

Stolen? What would be the point? It's only funny in its context. As soon as you take it away from that, it may as well have come from a souvenir shop.

Excellent. I've always thought the Ham Sandwich sign was an urban myth

Why would it have blocked the Clyde? I built an HMS Hood in my bedroom one Xmas morning and if anything it tended to get lost under wrapping paper.

I eventually found a way to them, via their forum. Much time has passed but at last I have a refund cheque from them. Yes! A cheque in this day and age! Needless to say it won't scan into my banking app so I'm going to have to find an actual branch. (Ok that's probably not Virgin's fault but...)

Moving the cost from the fixed charge to the usage charge at least means there is more incentive to reduce usage. I guess not much point if you're already using as little as you can, but it might help some.

Yeah but she's a working class female who has succeeded by sheer ability and determination to rise above her station, whereas they deserve the money they inherited and deserve to keep it.

This is nonsensical. Fossil fuel vehicles are on the way out. Electric is the only way forward. Security issues are just a challenge to solve and it's sad that a British company is unable to deliver.

As it always does. I hated suits and ties. One major life assurer I worked for in the 1990s had a rule that you had to wear your jacket if you left your desk, later relaxed to if you left the floor. Not great clothes for cycling to work.

One way to emasculate the fascists would be to recapture their symbol as a sign of England's optimism and inclusion.
The Union Flag was probably just too complicated for them, I suppose, though.

50 years is probably my limit. Am I remembering correctly that the fascists in the 1970s paraded the Union Flag, not the St George cross? If so, has the Union Flag been rehabilitated (in England at least - it feels like a political statement to display one in my part of Scotland)? And if so, how?
