Definitely have preferred tasks for preferred hands most of the time, but not always. Used to enjoy being able to switch hands while playing squash, back in the day.

I could give it a go from my desk here in East Dulwich. The job only lasts about an hour, right?

The Élysée would have to spring for the zoom call so we're not kicked off part way through but I reckon there's room in the budget.

Remember kids, no more than a quart of wine with your breakfast. Any more than that just isn't healthy.

"No more than a liter of wine a day" - In the early 1950s, when French wine consumption was 140+ liters/capita, France launched the campaign "Santé Sobriété" to limit alcohol consumption. In 1954, Philippe Foré became the chief designer. #WineHistory`

Presume this should be 'driest' — unless the farmers have been indulging in some fertility rituals?

Long, hot summer leaves cider makers with drinks too strong for pubs

Britain’s record-breaking 2025 summer has delivered a once-in-a-generation cider vintage, rich in sugar and complexity. Yet for small producers, the very ripeness that defines the year’s fruit also ri...

Oof - we're going later this month. Booked tix already for 3/5 of us because appaz one daughter (in a wheelchair) and one companion don't need 'em. Sounds like a recipe for... well, confusion at the very least.

Even in countries that chose *not* to impose retaliatory tariffs on US spirits, our spirits exports have plummeted. Exports to UK and Japan declined >23% YoY, while exports to the EU were down 12%.
Canada did retaliate - and US exports there fell 85%.

Fewer Nazis. Less Nazism.

You can count how many Nazis you punched today. You punched two Nazis. Bravo!

You can't directly count how much the punching reduced Nazism, but there's probably a bit less of it now.

Off to Rome in just over a week. Amy recommendations gratefully received. May just about have enough time to sneak off to one cocktail bar while I’m there.
