"But the visits of young children of George III to Eastbourne, and of Princess Charlotte to Worthing, did not boost them.

"The influence of royal visitors was far less than some historians have suggested. Guidebooks gave the utterly misleading impression that George, Prince of Wales and heir of King George III, went to the ‘fishing village of Brighton’ to sea-bathe...

I've found this wonderful bit about the impact of travel influencers from the early 1770s... "The best example of the failure of celebrities and royalty to help a resort is Hothampton (Bognor), where Sir Richard Hotham left famous people stay free publicity, but with little gain."

What exactly do I do with the energy of waiting for a brain operation for two years and then having it be cancelled three times in as many weeks? Like, is this some sort of God not letting me have it until I've learned some lesson? What does it all mean? What do I do with these EMOITIONS?

This morning I have doused my laptop in petrol and severed the fingers off my left hand. I am now about to throw a lit match onto my computer and my my right through a band saw which is already whirring away in the corner. Thank you.

I very slowly started to write again this week, whilst in isolation ahead of my brain surgery. It's been babysteps. Tiny typing. But I felt like my brain was slowly reemerging from its chemically enforced hibernation. I then went to bed to read and began a Cormac McCarthy novel.

Personal News! My final brain operation is confirmed for January. This is the one. The big full stop. Recover, then i can return to the digital content goldmine. I just hope in nothing has really happened in the last two years to prevent me from again mining that untapped golden journalism ore.

Ah man, that's great! Both the move and the music writing. Send me some links please. Yeah, pain in the arse. Can't get insurance to go abroad and can't work. Still napping each afternoon. A long road to full recovery.

Daniel Fahey @danielfahey.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

Hey man. Not bad, thanks. Chemo-radio is finished. Just had my latest three-month scan and everything is looking good. Still can't travel or work. Still without part of my skull. They're looking at the end of the year to have that put in and then three months in bed afterward... how are you?

Unfortunately, that's just one in a long, exhaustive list of brain blocks. Other favourites include 'cold kitchen cupboard' (fridge) and 'peg banger' (hammer). Long, slow tarmaced route back...

I may be some time. I queued up in a coffee shop the other day to ask for a straw. The only words that my brain proffered when I reached the till were "sucking tube".

"Just how mummy used to make it." Inexcusable description. Should've been deleted in the edit. Writer put on the 'DO NOT HIRE' list. It's a sad echo of a boy's fondness for their homelife before they were sent to boarding school at six. Mummy wouldn't have made it. Cook or Nanny would have. Gross.

The following year, he “talked out” a bill intended to stop the eviction of tenants who complained about their housing. In 2011, he tried to block a debate on the Hillsborough disaster. You get the idea.

Chope’s specialty is blocking bills. In 2013, he delayed a bill to posthumously pardon the Second World War code breaker Alan Turing.

For more info, it's Christchurch MP Christopher Chope, a man best known as the sole objector to the up-skirting bill, who is trying to scupper this one too.

Urgent: The Rare Cancers Bill is at risk and we need your help!

The Occupy Movement, Brexit and the rise of Reform were all alarm bells of the public being concerned. Unless there’s significant change next time, I’d expect bigger, more aggressive signs of unhappiness.
