"Did this project originate or give rise to a donation to the Conservative Party?"
Yes ... chop chop.

Fascinating thread ... have been delving back to memories of vague teenage chemistry lessons :)

I recall pre 1997 Tory appointments to public bodies quietly being axed after the change of govt.
It's normal.

I share your despair ... not because we share handedness but because colour vision deficiency is also similarly ignored.

Coddle yourselves beyond when you start to feel better ... took me ages to get back to half normal, let alone right.

Did the postman report this finding to you or the recipient of the parcel?

This post interests me.
When I retired I did an art history course together with others of similar age.
Our tutor gave us an outline of things we might want to look for/think about when we see something presented as art.
What we liked tended towards the easily accessible or pleasant or uplifting.
At first.
Then she started to discuss the one rotting grape in a bowl of fruit. Or broken nutshells. Memento mori.
Regarding b&w photos ... they are an acquired taste. Be gentle.

Starting from ignorance on my part except for making junk guitars for a couple of years, it amuses me how simple things quickly are made complicated. I put only 4 marks on my fretboards ... halfway (Octave), 2/3 (perfect 5th), 3/4 (perfect 4th). The 4th mark equates to minor 3rd ... where the 3rd fret on a fretted guitar would be.
Thus the dreaded tritone sits happily between the perfect 4th and perfect 5th.

I do not like being lied to. Equally I don't have the memory to tell lies.
What I don't like are folk who insist on closed yes/no answers to their badly asked questions. Who refuse to accept nuance. So to answer yes or no would be a lie.

A Birmingham friend tends to find small collections of feathers inside near the catflap so never really knows if/where the rest is.

That cringe response ... I've become aware of it more and more. Esp anthropomorphised animal photos and enforced eye contact. In both still and moving images.
Now formalised as " I don't like my emotions being manipulated".
Thank you for explaining the mechanism.
