Please entertain my idea for a band playing straight middle-of-the-road soft rock who only perform at experimental music festivals.
Their name: The Control Group.

“Immense world” is a remarkable book written with a lot of science but also sensitivity. I try to get everyone to read it. It totally changed the way that I think about how animals think.
The audiobook is great. With non-fiction sometimes audiobooks don't work, but this one is worth listening […]

Why has this not happened: a gameshow where 10 audiophiles have to tell the difference between expensive £1k - £10k audiophile gear and a £300 setup.
I would watch the SHIT out of that.

It seems to me that the very thing the Supreme Court DID NOT DO when it ruled on the meaning of ‘sex’ for the purposes of the Equality Act back in April was to offer any “Much needed clarity” as claimed by Keir Starmer. In fact what they achieved was to create total chaos for everyone — not […]

No #fridgesofsellyoak calendar this year - I've been far too busy moving house to roam the streets collecting photos of abandoned fridges.
But #airventcalendar2025 seems like a fitting substitute.
