It's also 230m tall. It's often useful to give metric measurements i.e. "It's 750ft (230m) tall". I can't stand imperial units, sorry.

During the great St George's plague of flags, someone added a pride flag to the somewhat tattered collection of flags over a motorway bridge. Amused the hell out of me, that did.

All the flags suddenly disappeared the next day

The Tories are finally dead.
Last week the good bit - the One Nation caucus - was dissolved.

Ding dong Thatcher's legacy is gone forever.

That's true. I feel for Portsmouth and Southsea who have to gaze upon that place every fucking day.

Half a bee, philosophically,
Must, ipso facto, half not be.
But half the bee has got to be
Vis a vis, its entity. D'you see?

But can a bee be said to be
Or not to be an entire bee
When half the bee is not a bee
Due to some ancient injury?

King's or (Queen's) Order 2 was essentially the British plan for mobilization in the event that the Cold War turned hot. It called up the Territorial Army and provided some extra powers to the military to ensure full mobilization. Nowadays it is codified as the Reserve Forces Act 1996.

That's not the entire report. They've redacted and classified a critical part of the report, this is the part that needs to be released.

Now the kitten I'm looking after whilst Mum is away has got used to having me around the place, tomorrow it's time to start training him to use the cat flap the way it should be used. He won't go through it unless it's propped open. He needs to learn to push through it. 😆
