Still trying to make my mind up about things.
There’s a cafe at the summit of the popular Fuente Dé Cable Car in La Picos de Europa. It’s the only cafe in the area. They can charge what they like, then add more for the stunning view. But for a large brandy and half a lager, the cost was €4.50.
What would be the cost in Britain, do you think?

Still stops me in my tracks after 50+ years of reading American novels: ‘Couple’ not being followed by ‘of’.
‘I had a couple samples ready.’
‘Beyond a couple leads, the police had nothing.’

Gregg Wallace's interview with the Daily Mail is a historically bad attempt to reshape a narrative.

Conclave has beautiful cinematography and acting but the latter parts seem rushed. Unless you’ve read the book it’s not clear why things turn out the way they do.

Visited a site offering nutritional advice to pre-diabetics and the first thing it says is to accept cookies. Not what I was expecting but I'll take it.

X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m.
Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?
If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

For me, the best dialogue in Black Doves was Jason ad-libbing to US Embassy lady Vanessa why she needed a security detail. “Yes, er, because of Al Quaeda. They went away. Now they’ve returned. And they’re furious.”

When trying to decide what to buy my 12-year-old nephew for Christmas, I think back to what I’d have liked when I was 12. Does anyone else do that? I think I was probably still at the lager stage.

According to #Spotify Wrapped, my second most-played song in 2024 is one I have honestly never heard before. It's called A Calf Born In Winter by Khruangbin. Nope, me neither.

Just learned that the name of the ship that brought back news of Lord Nelson’s death at the Battle of Trafalgar was HMS Pickle.
If he’d died and the French and Spanish had won they were going to send HMS Total Fuckup.

So rebel forces are closing in on Damascus, but I fail to see why this should be a problem for Asda.
