Back to summer (here) at the weekend, mind.

No Spoons then?

Stop worrying.
We heard today, from the government minister responsible, that it'll only be half as bad by 2030.

Not sure that half as bad isn't as bad, mind.

Ludicrous.

Bear did work experience with them (before they were Draken) in Falcons out of MMC.

The highlight being a jaunt to Lossiemouth after North Sea stuff.

Lossiemouth apparently did the best lunch.
