Why are trains listed as "On time" until a few minutes before they're due when they are suddenly 10 minutes late?

I particularly love the way Windows 11 shuffles its toolbar icons around a bit when opening the laptop lid. It's great fun thinking I've selected Firefox when Outlook pops up instead.

Just had my first look at the new Astronomer’s Takeover in Greenwich, which is what all the astronomers are doing while the Royal Observatory is renovated. Very interactive, lots of astronomers on hand to answer Qs, and perfect for a family day out. Do go! www.rmg.co.uk/whats-on/nat...

NASA's live feed on the Artemis launch is here, and it's just started broadcasting: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf_U... I don't anticipate much happening for a while - the launch is currently scheduled for 11:24pm UK time. But keep an eye on the feed and share the link.

"We interrupt this news item about the death of Jesse Jackson, important civil rights leader, to bring you information about Nigel Farridge reorganising the Reform leadership". What a disgrace, BBC News channel.

Just a month ago the UK agreed to a deal in which the NHS has to pay £3bn a year more for US drugs. The only thing we got was an agreement the UK would face no tariffs. Today that deal has been broken by the USA. The deal must be torn up and no money stolen from the NHS.

BBC to fight Trump’s $10bn lawsuit, saying it should be dismissed
Corporation will argue it did not have rights to air film in US and it didn’t cause serious reputational harm The BBC is preparing to argue Donald Trump’s $10bn court case against it should be dismissed, arguing it has no case to answer over the US president’s claims he was defamed by an episode of Panorama. The development comes after Trump filed a 33-page complaint to a Florida court on Monday, accusing the broadcaster of “a false, defamatory, deceptive, disparaging, inflammatory and malicious depiction” of the president in the documentary.

My Amazon Xmas wish list has suddenly had all my items removed and replaced with a pair of trainers and a room de-humidifier. We use these lists at Xmas to let other family members know what to buy. My list of comics, books and music CDs has gone. I don't wear (or like trainers) or humidifiers. Grr.

Kemi Badenoch on BBC Breakfast Time (08:44) this morning: "We need to get our energy out of the ground rather than importing oil from Norway who are drilling in the same basin. That’s not doing anything for the environment." So it's good for the environment if we drill there instead?
