I was afraid this would be the answer!

Where can I get a good baguette in England?

Comic. [two people in labcoats look at body pierced with blade draped over bench] PERSON 1: We found him lying uncomformably on the lab bench. I wonder if the iron-rich intrusion in his back is related. PERSON 2 with ponytail: It could be clastic. Maybe a rift opened in his body, and the intrusive material later fell into the hole.

Used to be some good vintage buses on Gozo, don't know if they're still there.

I think it's people who think audiobooks are somehow "cheating" and allow people to read more books than they have time/effort for. Which is weird.

So why isn't it succession taking it back to woodland? Depleted seed bank or it's got so dominant it's outcompeting seedlings? Sounds like a lot of the areas aren't grazed anymore.

Could be accessibility? Our latest screen-first brand guide has much larger fonts by default compared to the last edition.

We'll need to find the OBD-II port. It will be located within 0.61 m of the suns steering wheel.

They say it can’t be done, but here we are, California is generated 106% of California’s entire state electricity demand from renewables.

California has a population bigger that 154 other countries around the world. It’s the 4th largest economy, in the world.

Let that sink in.

Having spent some of last week in the sea I can confirm it is anomalously warm.

This is phenomenal.

Sea surface temperatures are >5C above average to the west of the UK and around Iceland. It's the strongest area of anomalous warmth on the planet at the moment.

It's the warmest in recorded history for northwest Europe.

There used to be some very good buses.

I find it very stressful sometimes. Often the most relaxing holidays are going back to somewhere you know you like.

(I have, to completely misinterpret the intention of the guide, adopted "Union pattern")

In times as difficult as these I find comfort in re-reading "Union Flag or Union Jack, An Official Flag Institute Guide"

Line chart – China's CO2 emissions are now 1% below their March 2024 peak: China’s emissions from fossil fuels and cement, million tonnes of CO2, rolling 12-month totals. Source: Emissions are estimated from National Bureau of Statistics data on production of different fuels and cement, China Customs data on imports and exports and WIND Information data on changes in inventories, applying emissions factors from China’s latest national greenhouse gas emissions inventory and annual emissions factors per tonne of cement production until 2024. Sector breakdown of coal consumption is estimated using coal consumption data from WIND Information and electricity data from the National Energy Administration.

That's the correct assessment of the Greens too - I'd be voting for them if they weren't.

The situation was improved greatly in 1972 when they opened Bristol Parkway *much further away*.

Trams should have an extra impact in Bristol because Temple Meads is objectively in the wrong place.

Emma's great, and is good casting for Jadis. I will obviously not be watching as nothing can surpass the BBC version and the books.
