Hooray! Well done Thug Life.

Three chicks in there tonight. I hope they didn't get too wet with that sudden downpour earlier.

More so when he also has a guest musician "visiting". One of my favourite episodes is the one with Claire Grogan.

Oh good. The other one has just arrived with food. I was getting concerned.

The sitter on the nest is doing a lot of calling at the moment. It sounds quite despairing.

Gretsch White Falcon.

Just TO.

Yes, I remember that about the yellow Mainline fleet.

You get what you pay for. Ok, if you're happy with a 'comic' or sloppy journalism, but if nobody buys a newspaper or takes out an online subscription, where is the revenue going to come from to retain the high quality and investigative journalism which can still be found? Advertising? Who wants to go to a news website that is swamped with intrusive adverts?

After the shuffle around just now, it looks like two eggs are still to hatch.

Yay! https://oceangloberace.com/maiden-wins-mcintyre-ocean-globe/

It looks purple on my screens (phone and monitor). Perhaps I need to recalibrate.

Bicarbonate of soda. Boiling water. Surgical spirit. White or apple cider vinegar with washing-up liquid.

To think that Atkinsons housed Sainsbury's on the first floor of their building for 26 years. I believe you're right though, about overeach. As I understand it, Atkinsons own their building outright and it could be folly taking on the lease of an additional building (or even a section of it).

"In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" in memory of Dickey Betts (December 12, 1943 – April 18, 2024).

Perhaps a bit of Clarence clarification is called for: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/clarence-frogman-henry-aint-got-no-home-dead-1235000874/ Sadly, that article from Rolling Stone also links to an obit of Dickey Betts: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/dickey-betts-allman-brothers-band-dead-727523/

AKA Napoleon XIV. Abysmal record.

Or maybe local folk with spare time on their hands who are fed up with the state of our streets? https://www.facebook.com/groups/SheffieldLitterPickers/about 'Group rule 2: No Party Politics'

Ah! I see ads36 beat me to it yesterday morning, in post #7437.

Yay! Good old BoJo (and Rees-Mogg). https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/apr/11/new-brexit-checks-to-cost-uk-business-2bn-and-fuel-inflation-report-finds "New post-Brexit UK border controls coming into force later this month will cost British businesses £2bn and fuel higher inflation, according to a report warning that UK-EU trade will be damaged as a result. With less than a month before the introduction of new checks on animal and plant products from 30 April, the insurer Allianz Trade said the controls agreed under Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal could add 10% to import costs over the first year. Ministers last week revealed that businesses could be charged up to £145 for each consignment imported through Dover, prompting warnings that this would drive up food prices and disproportionately hurt small businesses. The Allianz report said that the checks, part of the government’s “border target operating model” (Btom), would affect £21bn of agricultural product imports, including eggs, live trees and plants, meat and fish, covering about 3% of all UK imports. These new costs were the equivalent to adding a 10% tariff on these imports, it said, with Allianz indicating that EU companies would be likely to pass on these costs to UK customers."

"Of the 43 countries most often considered to be within Europe, 40 use some form of proportional representation to elect their MPs. The UK stands almost alone in Europe in using a ‘one-person-takes-all’ disproportionate voting system. If we exclude the authoritarian state of Belarus, France is the only other European country to use a ‘one-person-takes-all’ system (the Two-Round System). The UK is unique among European countries in terms of its electoral system – and not in a good way. It’s the only country with a parliamentary system that uses the outdated, one-person-takes-all First Past the Post system. Westminster is even unique within the UK, as the Scottish and Welsh parliaments, as well as the Northern Ireland and London Assemblies all use forms of proportional representation."

As a young child, the daily Paludrine tablet and sleeping under mosquito nets at night is memorable, but so are the many happy hours spent on a foot-burning hot and deserted sandy beach, surfing with my sis. Mmmm! Germolene. ♥️ And TCP.
