Sadly confirmed by the creeping tendency to label small versions of vegetables as 'baby', which has spread to Waitrose.

With summer feeling like a distant memory, we’re excited to start rehearsing for our upcoming concert on 7th November and to welcome our NEW conductor, @patrickallies.bsky.social.
Patrick Allies wearing a dark jacket and an open necked white shirt stands on a sandy path with the green of trees in the background and looks directly at the camera. Is he smiling? Possibly.

BB was notoriously relaxed about this sort of thing.

So he's essentially saying he was duped by his two closest aides into attending a meeting to discuss a criminal conspiracy and he didn't realise what was going on until he saw the Channel 4 report. He must have been absolutely gobsmacked.

Kruger's going with the 'suspended pending the outcome' line but earlier Farage said 'they've' gone.

Official Reform spokesman reported as saying 'suspended pending the outcome'. I wonder if Anderson was freelancing when he said they wouldn't be back.

From the point of view of a choral singer being off the copy means you have really committed to the music and also not holding the copy means you'll sing better.

Just home from an excellent @londiniumchoir.bsky.social tour to Aachen and Liège, at the end of which I was presented with this fine fellow, whose neglected oeuvre will be known to members of Kingston Choral Society, @ecse1610.bsky.social, veterans of Dartington, and others...

Thank you. It was another exceptional programme put together by our conductor @colla-voce.bsky.social. We've just recorded our third CD which is of music by John Joubert. It will be issued next year to mark JJ's centenary.

If you’re wondering why UK press has suddenly woken up to Farage, please read this. It’s because: Brexit. The r/w press refused to scrutinise the money behind Farage & the lawsuit against me scared off the rest. But this isn’t a new scandal. It’s the same one I’ve been reporting on for a decade

Born on this day in 1606, in Leiden, Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn. Painter, printmaker, draughtsman, and extraordinary at them all. One of the true greats of my or any century. Here by himself in 1629.

Perhaps they are worried there's going to be a low turnout, Farage wins but with a considerably reduced vote from 2024 and the Count gets enough votes to retain his deposit. That's going to look pathetic.

The local election services will be thrilled to do this over the period when people have probably booked leave and even more delighted at the prospect of having to do it again in the Autumn.

Can I suggest that you set up a sub-committee to discuss the question? Probably wouldn't take more than four or five meetings.
