Well I've tried to get my phone to give permission to take a camera facescan for age verification but after many attempts I've failed. Surely this confirms I'm a very senior citizen hopeless with technology. So there's no point in posting a chat message to me as I'm not allowed to read it!!

Thomas Payne was born in Thetford UK, a Norfolk boy. There's a gold statue of him in the town, ironically on King Street!

I'm actually quite relaxed about celeb books - if they're good books and actually written by the person (or if there's a co writer credited) but the last para almost killed me. It's AI that I fear not celebs.

Explore Norfolk's Coast and the Broads with five of the best shortโ€ฆ With few serious hills to contend with, walking in Norfolk is, on the whole, undemanding. That is not to say it is uninteresting, as it is surprisinglyโ€ฆ

Fancy a bit of sea breeze? Here's a selection of Norfolk coast walks from my 15 Short Walks in Norfolk, just published: www.cicerone.co.uk/explore-norf...

NOAA chart of the atmospheric CO2 at Mauna Loa Observatory, from 1960 to present, going from <320 to >420

On May 29, 2025, atmospheric COโ‚‚ concentration at the Mauna Loa Observatory reached 430.71 ppm.

When I was born in 1991, the global average was around 355 ppm.

A cataclysmic geological shift in just three decades, and no serious effort to ยซย flatten the curveย ยป here.
