I'd favour reclining and non-reclining sections, like the old smoking and (hah) non-smoking. Same price, pick what you want. It would end fights over seat-recliners - if you're in recline, expect the person in front to recline; & it would allow the 6' 5" amongst to survive flights with intact knees

Any gilts traders - is the market open today? Can't do trades via my broker. Thx

Chris Jones @chrisjones1.bsky.social · 2d

Quite right. A game is something you can play after work while still wearing a suit. A sport is something that requires a change of clothes.

Games: chess, darts, snooker
Sports: tennis, golf, swimming

Say I subscribe to a newspaper and have their app on my phone. If I then click on a website link to the same newspaper website, the website doesn't know me from Adam and makes me log in. Shouldn't phones handle the exchange of credentials for the user in this scenario? Is this technically hard?
