Look up Stowe School. That's where he went to.

"The Logical Song" was (mostly) written about the school principal songwriter Roger Hodgson went to. I went to the same school, his cousin was in my brothers year.

AOR as it was mostly called. Adult (or Album) Oriented Rock, or as Steve Lukather called it in one "Yacht Rock" documentary I saw: "Tuesday."

Off White by Rachel Shabi review โ€” the leftโ€™s problem with Jews A progressive Jewish writer tries to get her allies to take antisemitism seriously. But are they listening?

Yuan Yi Zhu has given Rachel Shabi's predictably dodgy book about antisemitism less the kicking you might expect from his ล“uvre than a fair and thoughtful review. All the more devastating really.

If you haven't already try the Sky Follower Bridge to find out which accounts you follow on twitter are on here. I've just used it, it works pretty well.

Have warned Finland that seeing as they betrayed me & joined NATO I will be forced to sink my ships off their coast as well.

OTD in 1939 USSR began to liberate Finland from themseleves in the Winter War. It followed denials, a false flag, a bullshit excuse, us deliberately targeting civilians while we took massive casualties we lied about.

Imagine that happening today...

It *might* here. The demographic has changed over the last 10 years or so. It's younger here now, due to quite a lot of new housing being built in the area, so less retired Colonel types harrumphing into their pink gins, but there's still a lot of inertia to overcome.

The next GE will be interesting. Chichester has never returned anything other than a Conservative MP since the seat was created sometime in the early 1800s. So if it flips Labour or Lib Dem it will be seismic out of proportion to the size of her majority.

My local MP, majority "only" 21.5k. She's probably a tad concerned.

Repost with how people would know if you suddenly became rich.

Sony WF-1000XM5 are the market leaders and have reviewed very well, I don't have a pair so can't personally vouch for them. I use Bowers & Wilkins PI7 S2's, which have exceptionally good sound quality, but are pricy.

WARNING: There are very graphic images and footage of the Gaza hospital strike circulating at The Other Place (and possibly here). Donโ€™t go searching for them if you value your mental health.

I am a huge fan of Lewis's. In his absolute pomp there was no one faster than him over a single flying lap & very few that were better than him wheel to wheel. It's notable though that Alonso stayed in Spain (and paid punitive taxes during their fiscal crisis) & has also set up a carting program.

I like an Oasis song as much as most & the first two albums are great, but essentially they're an updated Status Quo with better PR.

Kindles, amazingly, still use micro usb, as do some bike lights (I recently got a new one which did, rather to my surprise). It's annoying, but definitely worth keeping a few.

My children love the stuff. I think it's honkingly vile. I'm beginning to wonder if they're mine.

It's expensive (for what it is) but the alcohol free Tanqueray is surprisingly palatable. Not bad at all.

If you're talking about @showerabsolute.bsky.social then yes, he's definitely here, doesn't post much yet though.

I have a child like that. Cannot hear the words "bath time" when bellowed outside his room, but can hear the word "chocolate" when whispered four or five rooms away.

They're making more money off you that way. The mark up for petrol is infinitesimal. That's why all the petrol stations have become supermarkets.

Fair enough, I'll still check in when the time comes though. I don't have people beating a path to my door begging for a code.

I don't have any yet, and I see you've been sorted out, but you still get first dibs on my first code, only fair.

Yes. My wife is a huge fan & got his first autobiography which I read as well. I can recommend, it's an excellently scurrilous read.

Have the four sides in the Rugby Championship ever been defeated by Northern Hemisphere sides in the group stages of the World Cup before?

2/3 years after they have left parliament if you ask me.

Loki genuinely aghast that his slavebeast is unable to turn off the skywater.
