I went to school in 1990s Somerset. To prove that light travels faster than sound, my science teacher brought his shotgun to school. We stood at one end of the field, he at the other. We started stop-watches when we saw smoke emerge from his barrel and stopped them when we heard the rifle crack.

Good straightforward reporting from the Wall Street Journal on Musk's promotion of Restore/Rupert Low/civil war in the UK. Lots of detail, no polemics. The BBC could and should do this. Why doesn't it? archive.ph/eTOS5

Hope this isn't a total "find and replace" on all official NHS documents - if I'm asked if I have "a warm hand over" in my pants next time I have thrush, I'm going to be very confused.

I decided to finally update my will. "Mindful that a will should be regularly updated, I took a look at it — and was horrified to see that, as “executors”, I’d put a TV presenter I haven’t talked to in 17 years and a vicar who has subsequently moved to Australia." www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

I went to the same school as Bill Oddie (KES in Birmingham) and there were legends that he'd once arrived at school on horseback and also had put up diversion signs which meant all the traffic along the main Bristol Road had to pass through the school grounds but I don't know if either is true.
