Serving beer in thirds has come at just the right time in history for late boomers like moi.

Too stupid to believe

Inject this straight into my veins.

Go to your camera and search ‘boat’ and post one that you like.

And then you start thinking, “wait, is ALL illness like this?” And it mostly is! Most viruses/bacteria aren’t *themselves* causing you pain; your immune response is, in various ways. Your happiness and comfort are of zero priority to your immune system. All it wants is to kill the bug.

Love to have heard the post match interviews from this one

Does it work differently in the Southern hemisphere 😉

Selling out credibility to populism

Can the NHS be improved by following the example set in NZ? Carolyn and David describe how they transformed the Canterbury health service Andy Burnham once heard Carolyn speak and stepping onto the rostrum after her he said the UK should do 'everything she said'. onesystembook.com

And so, the English cricket season concludes, and the 7 dark months commence

I'm guessing these are Americans, right? Maybe with an antivaxx, pro MAGA inclination?

Farewell to my lock, which let me down in Lyndhurst and proved to be dead easy to destroy when it wouldn't unlock 🔓 Thank you Woods Cyclery for helping me to escape

This is getting out of hand

Nature fact: If you encounter a bear, make yourself look big From the Private Eye archive. Issue 1621, April 2024.

Very interesting. And eye-opening.

I would so love to believe this was feasible..

Beautiful #map by @moovelLab proves that every road does indeed lead to #Rome.

The quarks inside a proton account for just 1% of its mass. The rest is kinetic energy, gluon force, and virtual particles. Which is to say--only about 1% of *your* mass is "matter" in the conventional sense. You are quantum through and through. 🧪 www.symmetrymagazine.org/article/scie...

Okay Clacton. Let’s go.

Looks right to me

Bath, York, yeah ok. Durham, wow!

My first trip to Durham by train and it does not disappoint. There is a very special atmosphere here on a cool, quiet evening. Here are some reflections on the river

Oh so having hobbies is illegal now is it

A rush of migrants crossing over from Morocco plunged Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta into turmoil in late July 2026, but this clip is unrelated. It actually shows rioting in Toulouse, France after Paris Saint-Germain won the Champions League. Read more: u.afp.com/SHSk

Well, I guess it was a success of sorts? In 1998, Honduras built a bridge designed to survive any storm. It survived a Category 5 hurricane perfectly but the river shifted, leaving it spanning over dry land. Source: www.reddit.com/r/geography/...

Macclesfield is a tremendous hunting ground for real ales and craft beers.

I'm absolutely devastated for colleagues at Jodrell Bank who found out this morning that funding for the UK's e-MERLIN radio telescope array will be terminated. This is a short-sighted move, to save a tiny fraction of the overall UK science budget. #SaveJodrellBank 🔭🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Really cool that the FT is re-running commenorative articles from the archives from this time 50 years ago on its front page

Parakeet in Berkshire, UK

Some notable exceptions but my impression:

Watching SpaceX collapse below its IPO price.

I think if you’re the CEO of an extremely politically exposed firm in the public eye and you agree to take this kind of pay increase at this moment, you’re essentially demonstrating that you are not up to the job.

I have to think of this cartoon by @tomgauld often when I read online comments regarding articles. Pretty sure RHPAC is the most common type of online comment…

Before the heatwave I would wake to the sound of birds in the morning. Today it's very quiet. All the Robins have gone. I hear a Wren, a seagull, wood pigeons, a coal tit, a Blue Tit, a parakeet overhead. Even with these survivors my small garden sounds empty.

Much rather he naps than declares martial yaw.

What a result! www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...

Kelly cancer correspondence. Back home after another horrid spell in orspital. But I've just had the most fantastic non-medical pick-me-up. Ireland - yes Ireland- have just beaten India - yes, world champions INDIA! - at T20. Their first ever win over mighty India in any format. #wow

I guess they took it way too literally

Every time I make the typo "grabity" part of me wants to argue that it should have been called that all along.

A chilly (!?) and beautiful corner of England

I had an interesting sounding burger for the first time in a while at a decent pub diner, and can testify to this.

Maybe just my underdeveloped palate, but burgers are one of those things which top out quickly for me. A truly world class burger isn’t that much better than a really good burger.
