@ClarksonsFarm1 Grok says: The 1976 UK (British Isles) drought/heatwave broke in late August 1976, with September and October 1976 being very wet months that effectively ended it.
It was my A level year, I remember it well.
@sanchezdelreal Excellent try but note the guy who didn’t give up, outpaced him and tackled him. It takes vim as a flanker to take on a second row in full flight!
There’s something very Titanic about Morgan McSweeney leaving Downing Street… Keir Starmer clings on like Rose, while Morgan’s doing Jack in the drink.
The Peter Mandelson iceberg isn’t disappearing anytime soon though…
@RupertLowe10 I was brought up in Martham, at Mill Farm House, I never imagined that the people there would be deprived of their basic right, a democratic vote. I agree all councillors should resign.
@andymhamilton@ProfCarlSagan Me too. Sir George had given me an internship at the RI working in the labs there the month before. I’d wanted to do the job as his assistant during the lectures but missed out on that. I remember being interviewed by him in his apartment there. Happy memories.
@jk_rowling An act of undoubted bravery and presence of mind. I think the guy in Bondi, unarmed, tackling and disarming a gunmen deserves the GC or GM. In this case I think the King's Commendation for Bravery is more appropriate.
Finally the definitive biography of #EuphemiaLamb model and muse of so may artists #AugustusJohn, #JacobEpstein, #JDInnes has been published by her grandson #RomillyTurton. It’s more than the story of a fascinating life. It’s a window into a pre #WW1 world that will amaze.
@afneil So Rachel is going to lend me £200 funded by government borrowing and then claw it back through my tax code. That should keep a few extra working from home HMRC employees busy.
@VladVexler She could equally self affirm as being Scottish, Welsh or Nthn Irish although the adoption of a convincing accent might be a challenge. Englishness with its regional differences is always always difficult to pin down. I’m delighted that @SuellaBraverman ‘identifies’ as British.
@DanielJHannan We don’t need to withdraw from the ECHR. Just do what Greece has done. The refusal of the Government to do so tells you what their real motives are.
