Fingers crossed we will be able to buy this in the UK soon.

Looks as if it’s not set up in the uk online stores yet - I’ll keep an eye out! (Or I could just wait a couple of weeks)

Is it going to be available for pre-order?

From Kate Bush to Pentangle to T-Rex, the late Danny Thompson’s musical brilliance knew no bounds The bassist, who has died aged 86, was an extraordinary and wildly versatile presence in British music, bringing his personality into everything he played

Very sorry to hear that the great Danny Thompson has passed away. That’s his soulful double bass playing that you can hear on ‘Must I Paint You A Picture’ and ‘Valentines Day Is Over’. Rest in peace big fella. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/s...

Ignore us. It clearly is a mosaic of a peacock. However, if you squint, it could be a large, long-necked bird like a goose and the peacock tail could be flames shooting from the bird's rear end.

It's not a peacock. It's a rocket-propelled goose.

My statement on today's news. 👇

Exactly this.

I enjoyed this thread on birds running marathons, from the RSPB 😄

Eeek

Thank you for continuing to speak out!

Pleased to see my MP still holding out and speaking against this, especially since he’s new to Parliament.

The Conservatives governed for the ultra-rich.

They left millions in poverty and reliant on foodbanks.

The system is broken, particularly for disabled people.

More benefits cuts are not the solution.

Disabled people deserve dignity, not destitution.

MPs must vote NO.

Perhaps not quite so sorry for the staff member posted to gatekeep people actually needing to get to the counter. “You can do all that at the machine. Just go over there.”
Believe me, if I could, I would.

This will be fantastic when (hopefully) they follow the US site and are able to offer ebooks.

Pilot, from long long ago -

January
Sick and tired, you've been hanging on me
You make me sad with your eyes
You're telling me lies
Don't go, don't go

January
Don't be cold, don't be angry to me
You make me sad, come and see
Oh, January
Don't go, don't go

I bought a return ticket, picked it up from the machine at the station. On arrival found the return portion was missing (three tickets printed but two for phantom seat reservations). Asked the station to print out the missing unused portion. Nope, can’t be done. Buy another ticket.

BBC headline: Group backed by Judi Dench takes over North Yorkshire nature site.

Why are they reporting it like it's a paramilitary coup?

Harvard Law’s Magna Carta ‘copy’ is actually rare relic, researchers say Harvard’s law school library paid $27.50 in 1946 to acquire what was billed as a “somewhat rubbed and damp-stained” copy of the Magna Carta from 1327 to add to its robust collection of medieval texts.

Delighted to read this, since I’ve just bought it as part of the Ile-Rien duology(I love the Raksura books, which were my own introduction.)

Can’t be easy to stand up and be counted, especially if you’re new to Parliament. Glad my MP is one of these.

If you could post without the vertigo-inducing spinny orange background, it would be appreciated.

Many voters in local elections are voting mainly on local issues.

And in the Black Country it would be your packed lunch particularly.

‘baiting’ would be ‘having their bait’ ie lunch I guess?

(This is the UK, blue would be Tory party)

Yep - they’ve changed the bin collections here. People are Not Happy.

Excellent pack of museums and libraries here, if that's your jam.

A tweet by Adam Schiff (@AdamSchiff ) reads: "Americans have no idea if they’re going to be able to retire, or have healthcare, or have a democracy. Thankfully, the White House is laser-focused on what matters most:" Below the tweet is a screenshot of a White House webpage titled "PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP" with the headline "MAINTAINING ACCEPTABLE WATER PRESSURE IN SHOWERHEADS" under "PRESIDENTIAL ACTIONS," dated April 9, 2025.

Can somebody fix his golden faucets or something so we can stop hearing about this?
