Is any journalist at Conservative conference going to ask Robert Jenrick where he got his new "Let's take our country back," slogan from?

Honda made a huge mistake discontinuing the Honda e. With rapid advance in battery tech, they could have made generation 2 with a lighter battery with more range, shaved a few thousand off the price and it would have sold really well. It was only the v low range for the price that put people off.

Disgusting, dirty, stale-tobacco smelling cnuts on the bus tonight - home now and can still smell it on me.

perfect detail

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead. This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

*gasp*

Watching Model World - Bob Symes is 3 years younger than me here. 😆

This old 1987 album’s a rollicking, thigh-slapping delight and an amazing recording. Streaming right now - I have the SACD too but alas no 5.1 set up at the mo. Always brings a smile.

‘Serves two’

My cake: I threw in what was left of the coconut flour, about 1/2 cup spelt flour, guessed 1 heaped tsp bicarb, grated a large carrot and a large apple, mashed a banana, flung in some cinnamon, ginger and cloves, a couple of tablespoons of sugar, 2 eggs. Measured nothing, turned out marvellous. 💅🏻

I moved from Windows (97 or 98) at home to Mac in 2005: with some of my redundancy money I bought a iMac with (iirc) Tiger OS and was totally blown away by it. I loved my Gateway PC but moving from that, with its huge PC casing and massive 17" CRT, to the all-in-one 2-inch thick Mac was a delight.

Strange: I have an iPhone XR that's not compatible with iOS26, yet one of my icons - BBC Weather app - seems to have the so-called glass effect. The glass effect on iMac looks pretty crap imo - nothing like the previews. They bigged this up, yet the Aqua theme 20+ yrs ago was much better I thought.

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

Please join me in congratulating Woman on her appointment

So interesting that GB News is sticking with female archbishop story longer than BBC/Sky, going through her tweets live on air, starting to cancel her for being woke. They keep talking about the Christian public taking it badly, fits with the growing US-style religious vibe of the British right?

Success! The UK Government has said that it will extend legal recognition to humanist marriages in England & Wales. Recognition will be introduced as part of a broader package of marriage reforms which the Government says will be subject to a further public consultation launching in the new year.

I’m gonna work from home tomorrow, purely so I can dip out mid morning for a cooked breakfast. My life revolves around sausage. Help me.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Oh, Jane Goodall. You were such a good'un. We'll struggle to see your like again - but we promise to remember what you tried to teach us about extending curiosity and kindness beyond the selfish, inward-looking needs of our own species.

Just replaced a battery in an old Tokyo Flash watch - bit of a worrying moment when I lost a tiny screw that flew out before I could stop it. I heard the faintest tinkle as it bounced on the floor. Smaller than a fruit fly’s thumb - lucky to find it.

Just reading the obituary of the actor Trader Faulkner, and found this charming nugget.

People always used to ask, "How low will Republicans go to protect and pander to Donald Trump?" Thanks to Ted Cruz, we now have our answer.

Jo Cox’s family would like a word.

It’s October. October's birthstones are Brian Jones and Mick Taylor. Its birth flower, due to a typo is self-raising. The zodiac signs are Flanders (until 22nd) and Swann (from October 23 onward).
