The line 'the kids all call him Bogey,' in Deacon Blue's Ship Called Dignity is an anachronistic cultural reference in that no way would kids playing in the street in 1987 be making reference to a long-dead film star from the 1940s. It ruins an otherwise good and uplifting song.

The evidence in favour of 20 mph speed limits is overwhelming, cheaper insurance, less emissions, less car crashes, it saves the NHS, Police and councils money. But Gary from Port Talbot's commute now takes 42 minutes instead of 40 so it simply must go.

If productions that films overseas will now be subject to 100% tariff when the production is distributed in the the USA, surely companies will set up shop and register their business in the UK? Scotland has a brand new state of the art sound stage. We are OPEN for business. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

In this Ohio diner, 36% still means court-ordered child support, not a tariff on Chinese goods. But they do know this: while daily necessities will get more expensive, you can't put a price on banning trans swimmers from the Ivy League.

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

It's a delightful wander
The walk from the centre of Perth up to Kinnoull Hill and its tower was one of many we were out updating in the area last week. I can never resist snapping another shot here - incredible that this view is so accessible on foot from a city/town centre.

one of my favorite anecdotes is that the dog psychiatrist in DOWN AND OUT IN BEVERLY HILLS is the Mazursky family's actual dog psychiatrist. "Oh Matisse, such a pretty dog" has been a catchphrase in my family for decades
