My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

Black and white photo of a twenty something couple outside a church in 1961. He’s wearing a dark suit with a carnation. She is wearing a cap sleeved black and white dress with white gloves. The front end of his Triumph sports car is visible in the background parked on the grass.

Ten years since my dear Mum passed away aged 77.
Here she is in her early twenties, with my dad, some time around 1961, attending the wedding of my Dad’s youngest sister.

Still miss them both.

1. The European Parliament’s attempt to ban plant-based foods from being sold as β€œsausages”, β€œburgers” etc is a direct response to livestock industry lobbying. This is a short thread on how utterly bleeding ridiculous it is. 🧡1/6

Strike that! Both are now full on Farage-loving Reformers.

One was telling me how inefficient the public sector NHS is. How only privatisation can save it and make it work again. Absolutely deluded!

Also loved a bar up on La Castellana, just before Cuzco. Breakfasted in there most mornings before work.
Placed my order once on the first morning and the day after, the barman shouted it back at me as I walked in.

Maybe memorable as not so many guiris north of the city.

Sounds very like the classic Madrid bar, of which there are hundreds if not thousands all over the city. Very democratic.

My favourite was in Plaza Santa Domingo. At midnight it was full of pre-clubbers, nightcappers and the bin men having their nightshift break.

UK government charter flight will take off from Oman 'in the coming days', says home secretary
A government charter flight will take off from Muscat, Oman, β€œin the coming days”, foreign secretary Yvette Cooper has told the Commons.

Cooper said that Britain was working with airlines on increasing capacity out of Muscat, Oman to prioritise the evacuation of vulnerable British nationals.

Cooper said she was in close contact with her counterparts in the Gulf countries, where 130,000 British citizens have now registered their presence in the region.

β€œWe are also working with airlines on increasing capacity out of Muscat for British nationals, with priority for vulnerable nationals,” Cooper said.

β€œA government charter fight will fly from Muscat in the coming days, prioritising vulnerable nationals, but British nationals in Oman must wait to be contacted by the Foreign Office regarding these options.β€œ

Will Yvette Cooper confirm that wealthy Brits who decamped to Middle East tax havens to dodge their patriotic obligation to pay their taxes won't get free flights?

MPs’ basic salary to rise to Β£110,000 by end of parliament, watchdog says Ipsa cites rising abuse and constituency workloads as reasons for above-inflation increase of 5% from April

MPs’ basic salary to rise to Β£110,000 by end of parliament, watchdog says.

This should be accompanied by a total ban on second jobs, which in most cases is a corporate bribe. Must end all conflict of interests.

Being a MP is a full time job. MPs must act exclusively as MPs.

Gentle reminder that you don't have to fully boycott Amazon, just stop making it your default. Need socks? Lots of places sell socks. Need printer paper? Need rye flour? Many other options.

"This startup only sells through Amazon!"

Okay, buy that but don't buy the sneakers and coffee beans.
