I deleted X and moved here this week. My interests, amongst other things, are science and engineering, football (Portsmouth FC) , cricket , motorsports, comedy, ‘some’ politics and generally just learning stuff and remembering things I have forgotten about.

Bristol City played a good game against us today. Their 4 & 17 bossed us. We really miss Ritchie, Potts and Shaughnessy. The flawed strategy of not bringing a serious competitor in for the number 9 slot is really costing us now. I hope the January window isn’t too late to save the season. #Pompey

I was thinking at the @Pompey game last night that we should gave trumped that hideous Coventry kit with our dayglo third kit. It would have been a Health & Safety officer’s dream.

Amazing story in The Times. Reform UK failed to pay VAT to HMRC on its sales (tickets, merchandise). About £400k in all.
Not tax avoidance. Not tax evasion. They just didn't realise when you sell stuff you have to charge VAT.

A good show by #Pompey today. Take the point and with some luck we could have got the win. Swanson & Dozell were excellent. Swift played Azaz out of the game. Mous bossed their boy too.

Sad to hear that actor Ray Brooks has died. I will always remember him as the narrator of my favourite TV show as a kid, Mr Benn. Here’s my musical tribute to one of the voices of my childhood.

African Union joins call for true-to-size world map to replace Mercator version
Member states back campaign for governments and organisations to use map that accurately depicts continent
The African Union has backed a campaign to end the use by governments and international organisations of the 16th-century Mercator map of the world in favour of one that more accurately displays Africa’s size.
Created by the cartographer Gerardus Mercator for navigation, the projection distorts continent sizes, enlarging areas near the poles like North America and Greenland while shrinking Africa and South America. “It might seem to be just a map, but in reality, it is not,” the African Union Commission deputy chair, Selma Malika Haddadi, told Reuters, saying the Mercator fostered a false impression that Africa was “marginal”, despite being the world’s second-largest continent by area, with more than 1 billion people. The union has 55 member states. Continue reading...
