Massive long shot, but does anyone know anyone who lives in Willmington, Delaware USA? My local community group have a website hosted by Basic Networks which has been dead for over a week. Support tickets going unanswered, phones unanswered. Is there anyone in their office at 108 West 13th Street?

One of our account managers came up from London for a visit and took some of us out for dinner. He ordered fish and chips and was utterly flabbergasted that he got TWO fish on his plate. Welcome to Scotland, pal.

Tadej Pogacar about Urška Žigart joining AG Insurance - Soudal Pro Cycling

🗣️ "Urška is going to the same team as Remco Evenepoel. Will she share my secrets with him? I don't think they'll ride together often. Urška would leave Remco behind too quickly."

Remembrance is important. But it gets a bit much when you have to have 2 minutes silence:
Kid's sport Sat morning.
Sport Sat afternoon.
Albert Hall festival Sat evening.
Church Sun Morning.
Cenotaph after Church.
On the 11th.
School remembrance concert.
Miss any of those if you want to be a pariah.

Happiness is being in a job you enjoy so much that you're willing to logon mid-evening to perform a production database server upgrade.
Wish me luck.

Heading off soon to the launch of the Scottish Privy Council Records website. It's been a lot of work and I hope those with an interest in Scottish history will find it to be a useful resource.
