My oven has never been as clean as it was during the period of my masters, especially when some coursework was due!

If you can get a morning slot it’s fine, the queues seem to build up later in the day

Can't help but notice that today's musicians are a lot less focused on pumping things up (volume, jam, etc) than their forebears. Continuing to monitor the situation.

Pffft... Those movies haven't been the same since Barbara Windsor left the cast.

If you can get an early slot it’s fine, I was in at 1040 and hardly had to wait at all

Given the name change I’d assume they were waiting to confirm if they were still married. The BBC seems to put a lot more effort into confirming the facts compared to the newspapers.

There was a really old chap going in at the same time as me last week. They put him straight at the start of the viewing line bypassing the big queue in the room. And there are two lifts inside so access is fine

Saw a thing saying take a test to find which character from The Simpsons you are. I don't need to take a test, I can say pretty definitively that I am not in The Simpsons.

NEW How the BBC turned the litigation table on Trump The president now faces a dilemma about revealing his business records By me at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...
And so in another splendid Order in this case, the court sided firmly with the BBC. Nothing in the litigation rules means that disclosure can be delayed. Trump’s lawyers wanted to hide behind an “expert report” at trial setting out the purported damage. But the court said the documents need to be produced now.

Trump’s representatives even contended that producing the business records would be “overbroad” even though they are claiming an astronomical amount of damage to Trump’s commercial interests. Trump and his lawyers essentially wanted it both ways: to mount a wide-ranging damages claim but with the narrowest range of produced documents to support that claim. The court said no.

As with many other things to do with Trump, this case smacks of bluster but little tactical (and still less strategic) thought. What seemed a powerful first move was not really thought through. Trump presumably assumed the BBC, like other entities he has brought suits against, would simply fold. But the BBC also said no.

FWIW my take on Nolan's #Odyssey is here sententiaeantiquae.com/2026/07/24/on-viewing-nolans-odyssey/. Below I provide a summary. 2 principles have guided my wonderings. (i) I've read it as a film, not as a wordy epic poem. (ii) I've opted for generosity over cleverness. Others do the latter better.
