Cool weekend here, struggling to get much above 20C, when it's been over 30C fairly recently. Managed to arrange on Friday that there would be no gardening this weekend, by filling up both green bins - once they're full we tend to stop. Almost finished removing the tree that went down in high winds ...

I have been on flights where it got a bit bumpy and it was announced that cabin service would be suspended for a bit. Generally, if the flight deck tells the cabin crew to take their seats, you know it's serious.

Squadron SCRAMBLE!

I think if I was on a jury presented with that, I'd be inclined to recommend any damages awarded be doubled or tripled.

Firefox on Linux here.

If I right-click on where the image should be on the "Items for sale page" and attempt to open it in a window on its own, it gives me a 403 Forbidden error, so you might have some access permissions wrong.

Good morning all, clear blue skies here again. Currently 13C, forecast max 20C. Thanks for your interest in my work. All I want to do with the web site is change some of the text on the home page, and alter the 'For Sale' page. In theory this shouldn't be too hard - I've done it before and have all...

Look! Squirrel! There have been calls for calm in Finland and the Baltic states after a draft Russian decree proposed revising its borders in the Baltic Sea.

Anyone got odds on the lettuce?

Rishi Sunak is an expert (ex = has-been, spurt = drip under pressure).

So, bigger or smaller wipeout than 1997?

Question for Mosad: how do you start a fog on a hill?

I saw a report that said the pilot was a Mossad agent named Eli Copter.

When we had rodent problems moving in (or returning) to a house, our cats took care of the issue. Probably not such a good solution when there are coyotes to take care of the cats. It would be interesting to see a coyote take on an Australian feral cat. They grow huge, and I've seen one chase a fox...

Almost half of all noise complaints in Australia last year were filed by the same person, who complained 20,716 times He lives under the flightpath for Perth Airport. That's an average of over 56 complaints a day. He must have a decibel meter attached to a computer to auto-generate a complaint if i...

Dog show today, took Faraday and Cassini, with two of Faraday's puppies, Lucy and Artemis, also entered.
