My wife and I started biphasic sleeping naturally a few years back, our first sleep is around 3 hours followed by another 4-5 hours. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

The forgotten medieval habit of 'two sleeps'
For millennia, people slept in two shifts – once in the evening, and once in the morning. But why? And how did the habit disappear?

I’ve been into tech and gadgets pretty much all my life and can normally work most things out. But printers... absolutely no chance! Why is it that every single time I actually NEED to print something, they just decide they’re not going to work? Offline, can’t find the printer, paper jam!, WHY??

I've seen the latest disingenuous press release from the EHRC, and whilst GANHRI may not have requested a special review this time around, the SCA has decided to continue to monitor the situation.

They can perform interim reviews if there are concerns. Their next review period is the end of October, so they may review it then.

Supermarkets in the UK tend to have a policy of not accepting returns of food due to the contamination/tampering risk. So I would have called the supermarket, and they would have likely said to keep it anyway.

I'm no expert, but I'm sure they are not allowed to do this as it breaches their obligations under the GFA to maintain the same level of human rights as the EU. It's just cruel!!

This kind of rhetoric is nothing but tosh. They can't just rip up sections of the ECHR they don't want. Likewise, they can't pull out of the ECtHR without breaking multiple agreements. Its nonsense talk to appeal to the racists
