Volume 1 of London Pride is on its way! It examines London’s Territorial Force (TF) from 1908-21, exploring its unique structure, socio-economic composition, military operations during the GW. Ideal for office & home use & Xmas presents. Reg interest: tinyurl.com/25tty85e

It will be important to define quality before establishing a scale of charges.

The first time I read that I thought you had written Eton which I could understand about Orwell but Musk was troubling me a bit more.

Can't work out how to DM on Bluesky so have sent you a LinkedIn invitation where despite being an ageing luddite I can work out how to DM

Nope, but if you are in it then it's an excellent reason to buy this week's edition.

I am afraid you need to add this to the list of certainties in life - death, taxes etc.

Not a donkey in sight. It's Lincolnshire.

Indeed, I often go to the Lincolnshire seaside but it's very different to Costa del Skeg!

Memories of childhood for me. Slightly confused as I thought you were going to the seaside and Skegness is about 80 miles away!

Skegness again?

Peeves are good. I have a few about Radio 3. Now back to the Test Match!

I have decided not to show this to my wife who was a midwife and has decidedly strong opinions on this matter

Looking forward to this. The classics have had a poor press in the past.

Looks really interesting but sadly beyond my linguistic skills.

Yes, have referred to it often in my own research. You can disagree with some of the conclusions but an important work.

Insufferable? Dr Halstead? Surely not!

@support.bsky.team A stunningly rubbish start to using your app. Does your forgotten password code work when I am using a new device? No. Can I change it on my existing device to get round this? No. Worth using? Can't tell you.
