Just back from the annual Hindley All Saints concert with the RRF band - one of my favourite jobs of the year. I even managed to get through Leroy Anderson's "Clarinet Candy" more or less in one piece. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ebon...

If these votes had been cast in a 3-seat ordinary election, then I expect SNP, Lab and RUK would win one seat each. The 2022 result here was one each for SNP, Lab and the independent councillor whose death caused this by-election.

The parish council and ultimately council tax payers, that's who. Many parish councils would go bankrupt if they ever had to fund a poll, which is why there's quite a high legal bar for calling parish by-elections.

It’s probably just a linguistic coincidence, but the Hungarian word for toad is varangy and therefore I always think of the Varangian Guard as having been toad-men wearing armour.

As both an academic and a writer, I am repelled by the "this looks like a long document. Would you like me to summarize it for you?" that seems to appear at the top of every pdf viewer now. NO. The *entire point* of good writing (either books or journal papers) is that every sentence has a purpose.
