I wish someone online would point out some hypocrisy or inconsistent behaviour because only then will we have real change.

Google search for "austria hungary in space"

Google excitedly tells you about the 1889 orbital flight, and that by 1908 there was a Mars research output with 30 people.

Handsworth's self-portrait project 40 years on: 'Giving people that voice was extraordinary' In 1979, Derek Bishton, Brian Homer and John Reardon put a pop-up outdoor photography studio in the Birmingham suburb where passersby could take their own pictures

my friend's dad is a journalist and photographer. He did an exhibition on Handsworth. Jenrick should focus on housing and education in Newark, for which the Conservatives did f*** all. I grew up in Newark under the Tories, BTW. Have a word. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

An old System 6 status window reads: "That wraps up your status for the very first years of life. I hope you like yourself. If not, you can always try to improve in the years to come. There's plenty of time." Buttons are Continue and Escape.

I watched it when I was a child and was terrified. Re-watched it with OH about 10 years ago, and we agreed it was the music that stood out. The acting and script are also very good. I love John Wyndham generally.

The music to the BBC's Day of the Triffids is really superb. It brings the whole drama to another level of creepy weirdness
