I have to say, Bluesky has been a little dose of joy today, and that’s almost entirely down to @oldenoughtosay.com’s utterly fascinating thread(s) on British cathedrals basically having been built by Mr O’Reilly from Fawlty Towers. And I can say that because I am Irish.

Am I the first to suggest I would buy the heck out of a book on all this if you wrote one? Or, indeed, have you already?

Same reason you still check the fuel tank of a Cessna 172 with a wooden dipstick. Because gauges don’t always work.

Graphic showing a close-up of Education Minister Paul Givan speaking. On the left, large text reads ‘33 votes confidence’. On the right, larger text reads ‘47 votes no confidence’. A smaller line says ‘keeps his job’. Across the bottom, a bold green banner asks ‘Is this democracy?’ with the Green Party NI logo and website link.

The Assembly voted no confidence in Education Minister Paul Givan, yet he stays in post. Why? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Memory’s a funny thing…

That is unquestionably an MPV. It’s like you could rip off its fake moustache and find a 1988 Renault Espace shouting: ‘Alors! You have uncovered mon secret identity!’
