Here’s a newspaper article from 29th of August 1914. I only found it today. It’s a story I had a skeleton of knowledge about, but is tragic and horrific in ways I wasn’t actually expecting.

We used to get drunk (etc) in fields around RAF Coltishall – an active Cold War air base during the 1980s. Be funny if those blokes have accidentally caused an international security incident just having a big old snakebite wee against a tree.

Fucking called it. Dropped the reckless endangerment/with intent aggravating factor (ignore thensubtitle under the thumbnail, that's out of date). That reduces the maximum sentence from life to 3 months and a £2,500 fine. Makes it look like it doing something, while getting him back to work ASAP.

Bit of an odd take. MS Publisher is defunct 'for everyone' as of October '26, it's no longer supported. It's also a terrible piece of software, and the bane of anyone working in mixed design/print production workflows. It's been rubbish for 35 years.
