King Richard III was our last King to fight from the front with his troops. He died on the battlefield. After decades of dogged research by an amateur fan, his remains were found under a carpark in Leicester. They held a massive parade and funeral for him. He's buried in Leicester Cathedral.
The violence of US/Israel in the ME, and at home is like all the preludes to all the post-apocalyptic novels you've read and films you've ever seen playing out like jaw-dropping trailers. Except you can't flip through to the end of the book, nor walk out of the cinรฉma at the end and go home for tea.
Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

A vulnerability in the Companies House website that let *anyone* with an account view ***ANY COMPANY'S DASHBOARD***, see all personal info and - I think - modify company records.

Today's mystery: the Bar Standards Board tells me that Setu Kamal, the barrister who lost a ยฃ8m libel claim against me, is no longer authorised to practice.
Why? When? The BSB won't say.
Freelancers, small businesses and so on have a statutory right under uk law to charge interest on unpaid bills. But the calculation can be complex. So my old friend the brill actress and podcaster Laura Shavin, built a calculator. Itโs clever.

I've also planted a bunch of spring onions in amongst some garlic in a trough, and intend to plant 2 parsnips and some carrots that are sprouting roots in the depths of my fridge! Worth a try.
Yeh. Easy eh? What I've noticed though is that there's fewer leeks these days with a bit of root on. You have to rummage about to find them! Here's what happens...brilliant eh? Bees love them.

A nice bug I spotted in my garden last year. No idea what it is.
"Misconduct in public office" is a broad woolly term that's quite hard to pin down legally apparently, as per a barrister type who posted about it some time ago. He's not been charged with anything specific yet and it'd also depend on exactly what was in his original contract.
Behold the supermarket leeks I planted a while back...some signs of growth which is nice, no bugs spotted either. Fingers crossed they'll produce fantastic allium heads later in the year.

Oooh goody, shed roof man's coming a week tomorrow if weather's ok so that means I have to move as much rammel from around it as possible to make access easier. Pencils job onto calendar....
Thing is there are others, (one in particular) who've posted similar enthusiastic stuff and it's never been mentioned, is not in the rules and wild creatures are at risk whether we post about them or not! We're the LEAST likely to cause harm!
I read a report years ago about a landslide that'd happened in Scotland where some of the boulders were described as being the "size of a Mini". I went to visit this landslide as part of my final yr thesis, and found boulders the size of a Transit van too...
It's not on here, it's on a wildlife site!
Oh dear. Just been told off. I appear to have broken some (unwritten) rule whilst enthusiastically commenting about something. (Not on here).
