Just updated this afternoon. May take me a while to get used to it.

Men - don't forget that tomorrow you can just play football instead.

It never made sense but now even more so.

Welcome, Orla.

Another day, another million new people have joined Bluesky!

18M users? 🙂‍↔️ 18M friends 🙂‍↕️

Not the BBC yet, I believe?

I find the number of people saying they want to block her as a response to this genuinely baffling. You don't need to like her. She's the leader of the opposition. Even if you're absolutely convinced she's wrong about everything, why not listen to ideas you disagree with?

Thank you and welcome to my new followers. I don’t post that often but pleased to have you onboard

Alhambra

Herbert Von Karajan's recording of Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique

Tire l’autre jambe

Not really a blue sky.

Ah, so sad to read, Richard. Truly inspirational.

It’s early days here, worth us all persevering. Nearly all my followers here are duplicates of the other place. That’ll change too, I suspect.

Have read most of them. Suggest Norwegian Wood to start, and if you like it, there’s many others to enjoy.

Thank you vm.

Yes please, although I don’t often post on legal issues, or anything much at all to be honest (after a couple of Twitter pile ons)

I guess I would categorise as proficient, intermediate and basic. I’d never overstate (as with everything else on CV) so if proficient is stated, except part of the interview to be in that language

Graham Thorpe: Former England batter took his own life, family says Former England and Surrey batter Graham Thorpe, who died last week aged 55, took his own life, his family said.

So sad to read about Graham Thorpe's struggle with depression but it's deeply brave & valuable for his family to talk publicly about him taking his own life. It's also heartening that media coverage of suicide has become much more careful & compassionate www.bbc.co.uk/sport/...

Put out the flags, it's arrived!

That looks to be my experience.

I was hoping my copy would arrive today. It didn’t. 3rd week in four. Disappointing.

More in hope than expectation

My hope, probably without foundation, is that a landslide loss leads them back to being a pro-EU, One Nation party again with the Eurosceptics faded as a force. The latter have had their time in the sun and it’s not gone well.

No, please don’t it let put you off. My partner believes that it has a lot to do with staff shortages at our local sorting office where mail just stacks up. She may be right. Your situation may well be very different.

Never underestimate the damage Braverman does. Not just to the vulnerable people she targets. But to all of us. She’s a malignancy in our society and we all suffer the side effects. Whether our reaction is anger, despair, fear or loathing, it’s all harm. A relentless assault on our wellbeing.

Simon, still waiting for mine although we haven’t yet had today’s delivery. I think things were more reliable when the copy arrived in the see through packaging.

Yes it has and it’s very useful.

I wish I knew. I suspect my copies languish somewhere in the local sorting office and don’t get picked up for delivery. I should care more about it than I do but I’ve taken to reading TE largely on the phone app.
