A pair of pyjamas includes a pair of pyjama trousers, as well as one pyjama shirt, which actually makes three pyjamas.

"No scientist ever lies", he ironized.

You need a numberplate to get one, but does it need to belong to a car?

Does the minimum cost to park exceed the bus fare? If not, the rational thing is to buy your bus ticket at the pay & display machine.

If it's your own side stabbing each other that's 'intestine'. Internecine fighting is between enemies. So sa my latin beak & i hav no reason to disbeleive him.

Thank you for this account. I have both personal & professional interests in all this. We have a concept of a hard-to-treat wall for external insulation, which might be because it's above a conservatory, but don't count h-t-t roofs. I wonder how yours is ever maintained!

Oh, ok. I'd better eat more bananas.

There's a lot of good potash and phosphate in there, but it's very alkaline. Not every plant will love it.

Can I - while I have you - ask about the solar PV? Do you get free use of it, including any export payments? And does it have wifi controls, and if so do you provide the wifi or does the landlord?

It's all so much more complicated for rental properties. Landlords' and tenants' interests are not the same, and it always take a bit of time and learning to get a dwelling to work well - which windows to open when, etc. And that's harder with low-temperature heat.

In London our ASHP achieved a COP of 4.2 over its first full year, which is plenty good enough to be cheaper to run than gas. (It would probably have been _higher_ if the house was less energy efficient, and the pump could run for longer!)

And we dodge the gas standing charge, too.

Yes, it's assuming a Dutch pattern of energy use and excluding heat. Though I must disagree with you about heat pumps: there is no heatable building that cannot be heated with a heat pump, if you are prepared to install wide enough pipes and large enough radiators. This isn't always cheap.

A beautifully innovative cut of the data, simply telling a story with implications for policy design. I like a bit of good analysis, me.

Ah, I was going to point out that the Y labels are wrong.

Way past its prime: how did Amazon get so rubbish? Sick of scrolling through junk results, AI-generated ads and links to lookalike products? The author and activist behind the term ‘enshittification’ explains what’s gone wrong with the internet – and ...

Cory Doctorow is in today's Guardian explaining how Amazon's relationship with its sellers motivates this sort of behaviour. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Certainly the pictures for the 6th and 7th can't both be right.

Physio? That must have been <monty-python> Owl Stretching Time! </m-p> #thiswasfunnyin1970donotsigh

LinkedIn started with self-promotion and corporatespeak as its original purpose and tone. When did it ever have anything else?

In the quintessential OXFORD novel Gaudy Night, Sayers asserts "It is much better fun to punt than to be punted". While at CAMBRIDGE there are always attentive young men at the punthouses standing about ready to pole you -- _if_ you are prepared to pay them.

I hope this helps.

If you're using gimp as a word processor you are beyond help.

We want information technology

You wouldn't though want to be the sort of person who actually knows the answer to this.

No, there you're thinking of @dieworkwear.bsky.social, who - unlike the Tory Boy we are imagining - knows what is important.

Debrett's.

Walk softly and carry a big brick.

Paeonies?

If civil servants have been involved they were probably thinking of the criteria for gongs, where a CBE for services to the arms sales industry is easier to justify if they're also treasurer of the local hedgehog rescue or some such.

No, there will be a thriving business sector providing volunteering opportunities in grubby office buildings on suburban high streets. The same people who used to offer bogus courses for student visas. And there is no quality standard for volunteering to weed them out with.
