Hope they also check against motion sickness in ICE cars, and the use of mobile phones.....

"Dr Bill Yates, who has researched motion sickness at the University of Pittsburgh, says the body of research is "pretty sketchy at this point". "There's some anecdotal information, but not a lot of really serious, extensive studies done yet," he says"

Biggest disappointment ever..... Saw him in Milton Keynes doing "I'm never playing this old boring stuff again" tour (until I need more money). It was more like karaoke, and he couldn't wait to get off the stage. Absolute snoozefest and very sad as it wasn't cheap.

If you think you might like to hire me in a sailing or editorial field, please don't use A.I. to assess me or talk to me. It's about respect. Also about the fact that I will train your A.I. in ways you really don't want it trained.

Love him or loath him, Sanchez is one of the smartest politicians I've seen in a while. He knows a good opportunity when he sees one and his "failure" to pass rent legislation is a hot topic with the people. "We need a majority to put this in place" may just shoot Vox & PP down in flames.

Remember, I Iive here and want it as much as anyone 🤣 But it isn't happening any time soon, for the same reasons #Brexit was a mess - everyone wanted something different. Agreeing a set of terms & getting 60% + in a referendum will be nigh on impossible for some long time as Roland points out.

000

John Crisp @reetspetit.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Sure. But under what terms....? FoM? €€€? No rebates? Yes I want to join (there is no "rejoin") but not on THOSE terms. (qv a million different Brexits/Joins) They want it back the way it was, ish. Probably minus FoM. But that is very unlikely to happen. Roland is quite right, unfortunately.

John Crisp @reetspetit.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

For all these reasons we won't join for a long time. People still want a cherry picked membership, and without freedom of movement. They want to "join" on their terms. Regrettably I think Roland is right. bsky.app/profile/rola...

Regrettably Roland is correct IMHO.

John Crisp @reetspetit.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Indeed. My feelings entirely. The public want to cherry pick again, not join.
