Hello @digiKamSN Your latest version seems to require Intel Macs running at least OS10.15 – my old Mac can only run 10.13.6. I see you have an archive of older versions, but can't find a list of which will run on my machine. Could you advise please?

I'm loving @ChrisGPackham's #evolution on BBC-2, but why oh why do they chop and change the height of the picture? Chris's pieces to camera are full height, so I wondered if it was just the graphics (again - why?) but no – some graphics are full height. SO distracting! @bbcpress

@financialthing @amelia_tweetz And live on it in a tent? I think she had the better idea.

@tinakovac18 Are you asking for a friend? 😆

@sharrond62 So, by way of peaceful protest, everyone should fly a flag: the system would be overwhelmed and the nonsense of such a ruling brought to light.

@financialthing @Tesla A friend also has a Chinese MG, and while not having the problems your sister has, is not impressed by it. How sad that the MG name has been so tarnished 😢

Today contractors from National Grid turned up at this farm ready to clear all of this vegetation, including the four oaks, without the required dawn bird survey.

It is only because the land owner was on his toes and challenged them that they left.

Plus National Grid has not explained why it is ‘not practicable’ to uphold their DCO obligation to avoid nesting season.

They were not even able to explain why the oaks need to be felled for a bell mouth when they do not cause visibility issues.

This is a horrific disregard for nature.

(This is Bramford to Twinstead, ‘only’ 30km long. Imagine the destruction if Norwich to Tilbury at 180km goes ahead as proposed. We seek underground HVDC laid by cable ploughs for N2T)

@tinakovac18 Oh – yes please! 💋

[Compost Pete 🇬🇧 @BarneyWolSurrey]

@tinakovac18 I'm pretty sure you found a way to amuse yourself and pass the time! 😆

[Compost Pete 🇬🇧 @BarneyWolSurrey]

@tinakovac18 Hope you had fun? I'm sure your companion did! 😆

[Compost Pete 🇬🇧 @BarneyWolSurrey]

@financialthing Just when I decided to top-up my investment, I missed the dip at the start of the month, and it is now at an all-time high! Bah, humbug!

@theAliceRoberts I wonder the same thing, Alice, but then he does a brilliant diplomatic visit and pours oil over troubled waters, and quietly hints at the checks and balances central to the Magna Carta, hopefully making the more extreme politicians think again about some of their policies.

[Compost Pete 🇬🇧 @BarneyWolSurrey]

@tinakovac18 That looks like a fun afternoon - I'm sure you both enjoyed the experience 😃

[Compost Pete 🇬🇧 @BarneyWolSurrey]

@tinakovac18 After a day at work, it feels so good to come home and get out of that restrictive clothing!

[Compost Pete 🇬🇧 @BarneyWolSurrey]

@ClarksonsFarm1 My goodness! They're not like the old Ferguson I was familar with, growing up!

[Compost Pete 🇬🇧 @BarneyWolSurrey]

@financialthing It always amazes me that they rush to do one floor a week on scyscrapers, yet a simple single home can take a year or more! There surely should be a happy medium.

[Compost Pete 🇬🇧 @BarneyWolSurrey]

Disgraceful!

When Sarah Barratt was threatened with rape by 3 men while poolside at the @MarriottIntl in Qatar, her husband Craig complained to the front desk, and they were told the men hd been kicked out.

It was a lie. Days later, coming off the elevator, the Barratts encountered the men again. Craig was furious, and posted a negative review on TripAdvisor.

Craig is a businessman who operates in the Middle East, and when he next returned to Qatar, he was arrested, detained, fined, and deported, having been convicted in absentia of damaging the Marriott’s reputation.

Worse, his inability to work in Qatar has destroyed his financial security. He and his wife are selling possessions online, and are considering selling their home.

Marriott International, a Western company, used the draconian laws restricting speech in Qatar in order to have Craig Barratt punished for leaving a negative review on TripAdvisor - a review that was fully justified and supported by the facts. This is appalling behavior on their part, and I sincerely hope that this story will be circulated as widely as possible. All Marriott had to do was apologize. Instead, they destroyed a guest’s life for daring to complain about having been lied to, and about having been made unsafe on Marriott property by the actions of Marriott staff.

@financialthing @X They have to pay Apple (and Google?) to allow their apps on the App Store, and you and I can ONLY put an app on our phone from the App Store. It's a monopoly racket - all in the name of security!

@ClarksonsFarm1 No thank you. The tops were pecked by Blue Tits, it froze in the winter, and went off in the summer. Far better these days to buy a 4-6 pint chilled bottle in the supermarket once a week. (Shame about the plastic though.)
