The next globe design was introduced on 18 April 1966, nicknamed the 'Watch Strap' it featured a smaller globe in the centre of screen with three stripes of grey and white running to the left and right, on a black background. It was also the first ident to use the name 'BBC1', using the slanted logo in white.

A privet hedge could be a useful habitat for nature, provide privacy from folk passing by in the street and generally enhance the area. Fortunately you can prevent all that by hacking it down to under a metre.

Donald's genius ideas for making the Kennedy Center better: 1. Appoint a pack of lowbrow kooks to run it artistically; 2. Slap his lowbrow, toxic name on the building; 3. Performers won't wish to be associated with such a poisoned enterprise so cancel and venues become mostly empty. 3. Close it.

1,173 people were shot dead by "law enforcement" in the USA last year. In the UK, it was 2. The US population is 6x that of the UK, so go ahead and multiply the second figure by 6. Then explain to me why this massively disproportionate rate of killing is so.
