The BBC rather encouraged Trump though with their apology...

Painless to add her to your council tax though, and the oyster card is worth the slight faff

Hislop is utterly none technical - he wouldn’t understand the first piece of detail

Got to say if the 1st half 2026 is $4.3bn I suspect the year total is going to be $8bn max...

people are starting to see Chatgpt for what it is

What's the difference between normal coffee and a Normal Coffee. I spy a trick most people will fall for and it's actually not real Coffee

That could well be it - I wonder if Kent is a better name when selling to both overseas students and the home office than Greenwich is.

Given the news about Greenwich and Kent today I went searching for his viewpoint and was confused as to my inability to find him. So thank for confirming it wasn't me being an idiot

The reversal of NI should be 3p on base rate income tax. Implemented last year reversing the WFA and it would have been hard for OAPs to argue against it...

The past isn’t imagined, but it is likely to be a number of different happy events all merged into one in a way that never actually existed

A lot of the hotels were the go to places in say the 1980s-2010 and have simply not kept up with the times.

Add on nostalgia and the fact memories are fluid (so things that happened years ago feel more recent) and you can see why an ancient hotel now used for asylum seekers may upset older people

Betting on AI: The Delusion Driving Big Tech - Last Week in AWS Podcast

I've just spent the last hour listening to www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/scre...

I suspect you will enjoy - hard to believe Ed is even more cynical than you and I are..

Although interestingly when I was at CDG last month - there was a big banner for CDG Express which is due to open in 2027.

Basically it makes a profit and has permission to run until 2028 after that things may change

I would have gone for 3p on income tax while keeping the WFA for all - that would make the poorest pensioners better off but everyone over £20,000 or so paying a bit more tax

Given that EasyJet charge £48 a bag - £1.20 isn't exactly much of a commission for the abuse the workers will get.

Because they've never heard of Booths - posh Lancashire Supermarket chain (makes Waitrose look like Farmfoods) and maker of tote bags designed to carry a pile of shopping.

Except twitter downplays links to the extent that no one gets traffic from it anymore.

Bluesky a post with a link gets the exact amount of traction as a post without a link

I pointed out elsewhere that every cup winner has that f***ing embarrassing result after which the team jelled and they went on to win the trophy.

Hopefully this was it but equally losing to Senegal isn't exactly as embarrassing as losing to a European team.

Got to ask how that got past the first hour of accessibility testing.

Let's just hope we can turn it off..

You seem to have missed my question from your answer.

Give me a real of hypothetical example where having an id card is going to result in you having problems because I can’t think of any such scenario

And 20 years ago I campaigned with No2Id but that was because of data access scope creep.

Sorry you haven’t an actual example, just if buts and maybes attached to the fact you’ve probably never been somewhere that has them.

I remember doing a banking project in Austria and the confirm identity story was look at id card and press yes / no.

The uk equivalent story is a 45 stage flowchart

In what way that they couldn’t do the same without you showing them your id card.

Literally give me an actual real world example because I can’t think of a single reason why your id card would change I thing for the worse

It's makes as much sense as any other justification I've seen for investing in bitcoin...

It was renamed and that's the problem.

Just look for a course that has a weird name and a lot of availability in clearing at Greenwich...

Wait to you press the don't allow button only to discover you need to talk to a machine on the local network.

Because finding the setting to reset it is a right pain in the arse..

+1 - years ago we used to have a local bus service every 10 minutes, so you could walk out the door and be in town in 20 minutes max.

It's now every 20 minutes so I walk (or drive if lazy) because its only a 30-35 minute walk so if badly timed the journey is long by bus than my own feet

The only reason you end up without a seat on a train is if you are completely disorganised and don't book one.

In Durham there is a bookshop that sells only female authors (with a couple of weird exceptions).

Their Sci-fi section is basically every award winning book of the past few years excluding I think you and @aptshadow.bsky.social

Nope GitHub hates everyone equally

I have whole set of contacts stored in my phone - so that I know when they ring it's not worth picking up the phone.
