Source: BBC https://share.google/NjCTDg0cVcYHo6AnM npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes Can any Welsh speaker help please? My Welsh border collie is named Tân - Fire, and I discovered that tan without the circumflex has another meaning. I'm just wondering if the circumflex has an effect on pronunciation. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…3eqn and so more and more people will opt for the home viewing rather than the cinema experience. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes Progress? Yeah, looks as if we still need it. Black barrister was told ‘it’s not for defendants’ at London court car park https://www.theguardian.com/law/2026/aug/07/black-barrister-london-court-racism?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…2q04 yes. Go in at 5% and you can always increase or decrease after if it turns out you've been over strict or lax about it. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…az0m what does she use to drill them? I'd like to have a go at making some for myself. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes Does anyone know where I can get a twin tub washing machine? Not an automatic or one of the small portable ones but one like a Hoovermatic. I need one that has a pump for emptying and that is more resilient than the lightweight ones I see advertised. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes It's not a petting zoo. And though I admit freely I don't know if this is the case here, you need to keep your distance. We met a couple who were to do with the 'big outdoors' in Canada and they were telling us of people who, for instance, smeared honey on their infants face so the bear cub would lick it and appear to be kissing the kiddie in the pics. And were shocked to find mummy bear wasn't too pleased about it. People are often pretty stupid.

Mistakenly thought he was called robin https://s3.c.im/media_attachments/files/116/879/458/119/518/575/original/efb02d860fd3d48f.mp4 npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…ryua yes. Or "henry, husband of Mary" npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes Excellent news. https://substack.com/@mattlewis/note/c-267323214?r=8gil2 npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…l7em ops sorry. Not so easy to tell when you're on the river. So it's an art work. I've often wondered what it was doing there. And I agree re the privilege point. Thanks for explaining its presence there. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes Heres a peculiarity. At reading on the Thames yesterday. A post box on a retaining wall. About ten feet above the water and with the main railway line above that. I mean - why????? Who suddenly needs to post a letter in that situation? https://s3.c.im/media_attachments/files/116/716/003/180/851/677/original/9430a9d96c806d73.jpg npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…c7z3 dammit! Orion has recently dropped out of our night sky for the summer. Won't see him again until autumn. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y hey chat gpt, back off. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y yes. If the jury can't hand down a judgement according to their choice then they may as well not be there. It's trial by jury FFS. The jury effectively becomes puppets nodding along while the judge pulls the strings. Or someone behind the judge more sinisterly. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…p227 @nprofile…2ch3 yeah. A bad joke. In very poor taste. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y to paraphrase Mark Twain, never pick a fight with an archivist. She'll have the evidence filed in alphabetic and date order. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…e2np that final one of the raven is rather beautiful. They all are, but that one in particular. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y @nprofile…425c well one must do one's best to uphold standards of course. Even in that situation 😉 npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y whenever I listen on headphones I have to be careful. Even on the bus. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y yes. It's easy to forget that prog was in its infancy as was rock in general. HWND I listened to recently too and I was quite surprised. At this very moment listening to World Record npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y very insightful man. And a very capable verbalist. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y yes. A pretty accurate summation, I'd say. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y Wow! Unexpected joy. Van Der Graaf Generator 'The Emperor In His War Room' on Stuart Maconie's freak zone. Haven't heard that for absolute years. Not perhaps one of my favourites but nevertheless... npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…p227 dunno. What are you referring to? npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes Just listening to a past episode of Mark Steel's WTF Is Going On, with guest Laura Smyth. Excellent point raised that there was far more fuss and bother about Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, which after all was presumably sort of consensual between two adults however sleazy it may have been, than about the current pres and his relationship with a perv who did so much perving that he needed a whole island to do it on. At least as far as the mainstream media is concerned. #WhatTheFuckIsGoingOn npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…e2np smart npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y apropos of not very much, my border collie came from a farm near to st Asaphs npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…d6ag thanks for that. This misusage infuriates me. And it's so common. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y @nprofile…5zlc @nprofile…ck2t actually I'm surprised he didn't choose mayday or st Georges day. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y I'm still drinking coffee in my bed. Always catches me this way on 'spring forward' day. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y quite. The law cannot act retrospectively. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y @nprofile…l5m6 yes. Talk about buying a pig in a poke. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y my brother in law is 90 and he looks healthier than him. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y this one deserves to go mega viral. Not the gif. Your comment. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…x9tq @nprofile…utjz would be ironic, would it not, if the success of the brexiters in achieving their aims led indirectly to the creation of a European armed force when one of the strands of their argument was antagonism to the possibility of the creation of a pan-european armed force. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y "released under investigation" apparently npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y god? npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes I thank any gods that are up or down there that I didn't emigrate to the USA back in the seventies - or after. We might not be perfect here - but damn! npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y oh lovely. Vis a vis nothing in particular, I must remember to get a box of N95 face masks. Can't be too safe with COVID about and all. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y @nprofile…wr4d me neither 😒 npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…l5m6 once is accidental, twice is coincidence, thrice is deliberate policy. I have no idea what seventeen is - there simply isn't a classification for that high a number and I doubt there ever will be. I doubt anyone ever thought one would ever be needed. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y must be some other trump the existence of whom I'd been previously unaware. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y it's the luxury of not actually being in power. As we've seen in so many reform councils, they're like the dog that catches the car - they've got it but don't have the foggiest what to do next. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y I wonder, when a state isn't actually at war and losing ground, why she might think that. Is she planning something? Or just worrying in case trumpforce™ rock up. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y you'd have thought a senior lawyer would have been aware of basic boilerplate stuff like this wouldn't you. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…la7y @nprofile…l5m6 remember the Spitting Image rendering of Davids Steele and Owen? Large David Owen with a little tiny David Steele in his top pocket. That, I imagine, is how they see starmer - as a tiny little figure npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…35ec @nprofile…zr34 @nprofile…l8f2 oh wow. Just incidentally I used to have a copy of Killers, Angels Refugees but I lent it to a friend who declined the give it back. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…7ppx thanks. I'll investigate this further. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…7ppx ooh. Tell me more - like what is the name of it. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes Reform council’s plan to shut eight care homes ‘a betrayal of local people’ https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/dec/23/reform-council-plan-shut-care-homes-betrayal-local-people-derbyshire?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…35ec can't be expected to know the reference then, can you. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…e4ry what is she accused of doing? npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…35ec you'll find several references in Terry Pratchett. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…35ec could be worse. Could be Mrs Widgeries Lodger, or the Stick and Bucket dance or the one we don't mention - the Dark Morris, npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…35ec it's never too early. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…35ec I've never seen Tull live (hint hint😉) npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…35ec I must admit to equivocating somewhat about this one though. How can we ensure that both lose, both appeal, and both lose that too. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…hzyj interesting. I think the problem reform has is that though they may be fairly competent at politics they're actually not at all good at government. They can get elected but, like the dog who caught the car, haven't a clue what to do next. And it all shows pretty quickly. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…35ec they're no longer masking it are they. Not in the least little bit. Was a time when they'd have used weasel words and allusion - but no more. They just come right out and say it. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…35ec @nprofile…f83c @nprofile…zr34 there're a lot of us about aren't there. We've learned to keep our heads down though, through a few decades of scorn from the scorners. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…35ec yes. That's the problem with any government isn't it. Any introduction be it good, bad or neutral is subject to future change. In the last several years I've seen a lot of talk about 'we'll introduce this and to allay any worries we'll enshrine it in a charter'. No government can dictate what any future parliament can do. So no assurances that a thing won't go bad mean a thing. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…35ec @nprofile…jfkv maybe so, I just find her "dress-up box" style less than appealing. As I do with any of these programs that have to feature a dramatisation to back it up. It distracts from the subject instead of clarifying. Still, I suppose it gives a little work to actors. But I guess that's just my preference. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…35ec @nprofile…jfkv no idea what she'd say, but I do know she'd have to dress up in a witch trial period appropriate costume to say it. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…35ec maybe so, but I like it.😉 npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…35ec @nprofile…h303 isn't it pretty much always? npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…35ec there's a lot of truth in what you say. I've never really been able to choose between so many - pilgrims, childlike faith, one or two spectres (actually most of Nadir), fogwalking... I really can't choose a favourite. I guess it depends on my mood at the time. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…t03n did anyone really expect anything better? npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…35ec you have to keep trying though, don't you. Hockey legend Wayne Gretzky said it nicely "you miss one hundred percent of the shots you don't take". npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…35ec Result!!!.

Can I borrow it for a few years? npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…hzyj that item I saw yesterday about a 20% 'settling up' charge if the rich carried out their frequent threat that "if you tax us more we'll leave" was, I thought, rather brilliant. "Ok, you can check out any time you like but it'll cost you" npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…35ec wow. In a few days I'm 71.

But only if I could choose my destination. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…35ec do you think we could somehow get him dropped in Jamaica just in time to get the force of it. But I doubt he'd change his mind - or what passes for it. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…hzyj also, to quote another person on here the other day, all this tiresome red tape is why we don't have sawdust in our bread. Much of it is necessary because business will try and cut costs and maximise profits. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…35ec couldn't happen to a more appropriate 'party'. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…35ec nowt wrong wi' Camel.

Oh I'd like to help you somehow but I'm in the self-same spot. Oh my condition exempts me." Doesn't he coin a phrase so perfectly? #ph npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…35ec the best response is one in which you demolish the interlocutor's argument entirely. Well done done. I am very much uncertain whether I would have had the patience to reply in such a polite, reasoned and evidenced manner. My lifetime supply ran very low a few years back and I now have to ration it very carefully. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…rh2x always handy to have a decent posh voice in reserve isn't it. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…rh2x @nprofile…62xd wise option. Never used it and I've truly never missed it for even a nanosecond npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes I really am sick and tired of this festering cess pit of a country. And Brexit morons have now made sure I can't escape to Europe. Cos, you see, I ain't rich.

And the problems in the real Sweeney were what led me to finally give up on my (never very strong) liking for the genre. Always drawn towards more challenging areas like speculative fiction, humour, classics and eg John le Carré. I prefer my spy work to be civil servants with all their mundane problems rather than bond style heroes. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…r5de @nprofile…n2nf yes. Just look at the profusion of TV dramas involving crims. Sopranos, anything from guy Richie. It's actually quite difficult to avoid crime dramas involving guns chainsaws and practically anything that could be creatively used for inflicting sadistic death. It's a very disturbing symptom of a society on the way down. npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes Britons largely unaware of Black and Asian contribution to WW2 effort, research shows Source: The Guardian https://search.app/Y4Zns Shared via the Google App npub1kqpwwpelrpqq2mx3e7m5st3st2yfq6upk4kdznl0dy26kmruvamqajcwnx Stoneface Vimes @nprofile…60lz mind you, that doubling down on the tiny amount of benefit fraud whilst savagely cutting back on investigating and prosecuting tax fraud isn't new is it.
