Oh, @bbcnews.bsky.social ?!
In www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...:
“Israel could not have fought the war with US help.”
Don’t you mean the opposite?!

The war in Gaza is far from over - serious obstacles lie ahead

For the first time since the Hamas attacks on Israel two years ago, there is a realistic chance of ending the horrors

@bsky.app Could you take a look at some of the messages tagged with #DigiBlogChat in the last couple of hours describing inability to see messages? ... and let us know what you think was the cause? Thank you.

Ah, it seems to have been "Mother's Pride" ... which is odd, because I think that they had more than one customer! 🫣 #DigiBlogChat

To be "Clipper tea" does it have to have been delivered by the Cutty Sark (or, at least, a similar vessel)? #DigiBlogChat

Was never partial to Mothers' Pride (is that where the apostrophe was?!). #DigiBlogChat

Great to see that you're back with us, Chris! #DigiBlogChat

At least part of the humour/humor is that "we" (Brits et al.) don't spell humorous "humourous"! 🤣

If some of us could see the posts and others could not, that suggests that the problem was probably not with the @bsky.app server(s). Maybe it was with something in some people's client app(s), or in the route by which they were connected to the server(s). 🤷‍♂️

No problem, Carol ... I mean literally, I didn't have the problem which others were reporting. The Internet can be a wild place! #DigiBlogChat

John W Lewis @johnwlewis.com · 4d

Guess the colour?! 🤣 #DigiBlogChat

John W Lewis @johnwlewis.com · 4d

Thank you, Carol, and @maricarjagger.bsky.social for yet another excellent #DigiBlogChat!

I'm impressed when people can speak more than ONE language! After two, it's said to get easier '.. and there's a theory behind that.

A8+ But I once got a salesman to find me a (secondhand) car of a certain model, test drove it, and all (except one thing) was well ... but I turned it down because of the colour! #DigiBlogChat

I read that the speaker (about language) learned English as her fourth language. #DigiBlogChat

Red has to be the stand-out colour for cars which turn heads. And I've owned one.
But often, one doesn't want to turn heads, especially certain people's heads! I've owned more dark blue cars.

Carol Stephen @carolstephen.bsky.social · 4d

Q8. Which colours make a car into a head-turner? #DigiBlogChat

It was in this TED talk: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKK7...
I could try to find the timestamp, but you might enjoy the whole talk. #DigiBlogChat

AH!! The other day, I saw something very interesting about light blue and dark blue. Let me see whether I can find it. #DigiBlogChat

Well, the tea is, ... but am thinking that the colourful mug isn't! 🤷‍♂️ #DigiBlogChat

John W Lewis @johnwlewis.com · 4d

Being new to different teas, I tried a few and ended up drinking quite lot of Assam Gold and Lapsang souchong. But looking forward to getting some Russian Caravan! #DigiBlogChat
