Definitely Uniqlo. I have them in many colours. They wash brilliantly and last well. Though a littke vulnerable to cat claws.

Some of their specialist collections are currently unavailable because of cyber security issues. I'm not sure if that includes the medieval manuscripts. They closed their online folk song archive for that reason.

Reading them independently. But they shouldn't decide a case on an argument that hasn't been aired in court. The SC can ask counsel to address a point that they haven't dealt with.

I've had the chance to read it properly now, and think your analysis is compelling.
I am constantly led back to the central puzzle of FWS itself, and how it was decided without reference to the ECHR caselaw.

You could solve the persistent mis-gendering issue by referring to her as Princess Michael of Brent.

I still cherish the memory of our daughter dressed as Rorshach from Watchmen, in a charity shop trenchcoat and homemade mask. Adorable.

The site of the Waynflete Building. Construction of the new Quad is about to begin. Materials from the old building are being crushed and incorporated into the foundations. Immediately beyond the hoarding is the River Cherwell. Most student rooms will have river views.

In 1400, Oxford had a population of 6,000 and about 6 killings a year. Triple that of London and York.

Why was it so violent?

Students got off with impunity, as they had clerical privileges!

Nice evidence on institutions
