Of course they had to say something, when the sensible reaction would have been dignified silence.

We currently have a male pheasant on our kitchen roof. It's sunny here too but I don't know if Mr P is basking. #shropshire

Is it possible to chase down the proceeds of crime after it has been donated to a third party?

1. The independent Taskforce — commissioned by NHS England, backed by government — concluded ADHD is under-diagnosed, under-recognised and under-treated in the UK. Not over. The press has reported the reverse of the finding www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcar...

I'm led to believe (no fancy education for me!) that there's no definite article in Latin so it would just be "Magna Carter".

I can't remember the last time I saw a jay. Lots of crows, rooks, jackdaws and magpies but I only recall definitely seeing a raven once, a few weeks ago from the South top of Ragleth Hill, when it identified itself by croaking.

Definitely room for a pastiche of rightwing agitators but it would never get made because too many influential people have their fingers in that pie.

At fast food places like motorway services I always head to Greggs for coffee as it seems a bit better and they don't ask for your name. I'm not really a connoisseur and drink americano when out and about. It's not a great way of drinking coffee but I wouldn't dare ask for an espresso.

Agricultural destruction is an active part of ethnic cleansing which is a crime against humanity. No country doing this deserves the support of any other country.

Has anyone from the government given even the slightest hint that there might be an early election or is it just the press and rightwing parties that are planting the idea?

And in this case, pursuing an inflatable boat full of people while clearly being equipped with the means to puncture it - is there any proof of intent to puncture it while it was full of people?

I think the culprit was supposed to own up in front of the assembly as we were kept there for a while, but of course no one did.

We used to be bussed to another local school to use their pool. One day we got dragged to a special assembly where Mr Ward, the PE teacher, harangued is about a similar deposit that was found at the bottom (sorry) of the pool after we'd been (sorry again) there.

Tempted to agree in this case but if we normalise insisting on everyone using their given names, there could be a lot of collateral damage. There's plenty of other stuff to call him out on.

In my youth, over 50 years ago, I worked in several parts of the British building trade. A cook would come on site at about 10am to cook a second breakfast of fried eggs, bacon, beans and so on. It was a well established custom then but I don't know if it is still a thing.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

I'm pretty sure that's why we didn't have one back then but I was only 4 3/4 so may not have been completely up to speed with our family finances.
