To the innermost heart of their own land they are known as the stars are known to the night; As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust, moving in marches upon the heavenly plain, as the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness
To the end, to the end, they remain...
To the end, to the end, they remain...

*Man on Halifax pier receives letter of marque from the King*
Man: I guess I’m cruising the seas. I hope the vessel isn’t too scummy.
*Aboard The Antelope*
Man, under his breath: “God damn them all”

After the 220th anniversary of Trafalgar, I'm thinking of the little girl taken to see HMS Victory & bought a book on Nelson.
27ish years later I've lectured internationally, including Antarctica & the Falkland Islands. I've delivered talks for the Royal Navy & taught at the US Naval Academy 🧵

The sighs emitted by this dog. Surrounded by toys, 3-4 walks a day, all the snacks, has claimed most of the household furniture as his own, and contributes nothing to the mortgage or bills...
What ails you, my little freeloader?
Cruelly dragged from Greece as a stray to live a life of hardship 🙄

Watery environments don't usually mix well with libraries, but we've found a way to make it work!

Every time you use stupid ChatGPT, a thing that I once saw get a long multiplication sum wrong, it uses ten times as much electricity as searching the same thing on Google and the server cooling systems mean each use consumes half a litre of water.

Considering dropping out of my PhD to do a law conversion. I've been thinking about it for quite a few years but after speaking to solicitors this week, I think I've reached the point where my career is no longer a challenge / I need it to be.
Have any of you have done a conversion / SQEs recently?

Having an emotional roller coaster of a day because my uncle has died, which I'm incredibly sad about, but I also just won a holiday to Antigua. In addition, work is incredibly stressful today so my brain is a mess. I am mostly just venting at the internet because I need to get it out somewhere
