Your occasional and unnecessary reminder that although Reform claim not to be racists, they somehow manage to attract all the racists to them.
In UK political and media culture, it's worse to be called racist than it is to be racist. Can't really get anywhere until that changes

Donald Trump will be gone before Keir Starmer.

Set a new personal best today, saw a bridge with nine Union Jack flags on it. This was just a dual carriageway, too, not even a full six lane motorway. Nine flags at, what, £5 each? That's a fair layout.

Anyway, I meant to tell you, last Friday, I was a customer site most of the day. About half of their WiFi is down, looks like their point-to-point is out. (The bit that joins two buildings, but using WiFi.)

Is this a good time for the old maxim that you don't call a game until both sides have batted...?

This morning I heard of the tiny Pacific atoll of Ulithi, it's basically between Japan and Australia, a tiny speck of land which is as far from San Francisco as SF is from London.

Woke up with a tune in my head, so I approached our Generic Home Smart Speaker.

Cleared the driveway, cleared the car, all good. Just in time for the afternoon snow.
Feels like it's melting, doesn't feel cold out at all. Be reyt.
