Oh sweet jeebus! Well, I am very glad your sparky identified this before anything ghastly happened.

Ugh. I am going to guess a second consumer unit on a different phase, and hope it is something less bad than that.

I am hoping it is something easy, like mice. Preferably not electrocuted ones.

Yeah I heard about this few years back. Also it's revenue is bigger than some airway companies, football clubs and Greggs. There was a joke about the fishing thing, which went like "one is an outdated colonial fantasy for middle-aged men, and the other is a miniature wargame."

On National Poetry Day, here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.

The Power of Poetry

with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,

it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,

so he reached for his copy
of The Complete Works of Yeats

and bludgeoned the President
of the United States

There are several of similar vintage on the island. The headland is also a nesting ground for wedge tailed shearwaters, but they were all tucked up in their burrows. An amazing place.

Trust me, it's ospreys. Fish Hook Bay, Wajemup, Western Australia. #SuperSeabirdSunday

Blurred, distant picture of Ospreys on a 80-plus year old nest, Fish Hook Bay, Wajemup / Rottnest Island. The nest is a chaotic stack of sticks at least 2.5m high, on a pale grey rocky outcrop with choppy deep blue sea behind.

Not everybody knows this, and everybody should. On Sept. 26, 1983, a Soviet nuclear warning system alerted Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov that the U.S. had launched a missile attack. He did not retaliate, preventing WWIII. This is a post about AI. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanisl...

transphobia is a lot more widespread than I’d like transphobia is also a luxury belief and only really gains traction when people think their lives are otherwise pretty solid it simply cannot hold a candle, electorally speaking, to “car juice expensive”

Shout-out to the brave motherfuckers chopping the collapsing, rusting masts off the SS Richard Montgomery on the bottom of the Thames between Southend and Sheerness today. If it goes badly, we're all going to very much know about it. Fascinating, also terrifying stuff youtu.be/R9u41aeItss?...

And it’s less a ‘single issue’ than it is a litmus test. Like I said, the only possible explanation for transphobia is exclusionary and reactionary views, and if you have those they can and will be turned against other groups. If you’re willing to be transphobic, you’ll do other things too.

A pattern here is anti trans changes made under a labour government are assumed to be "reasonable and moderate" by people who would oppose them if a right wing government was doing them. This is worse for trans people because cis people just don't believe us when we talk about what is happening.

My 'go to' short trip these days is Rotterdam. I offer the National Museum of Tugboats in nearby Maasluis as a reccomendation. Most of the info is in Dutch but the staff are delighted to help foreign folk. www.nationaalsleepvaartmuseum.nl

The beauty of a pianola is you just need to pedal furiously, and the thing plays itself.

Please go to the Pianola Museum. It is packed with pianolas, pianola rolls, and beautifully enthusiastic curators who will ensure you fall in love with pianolas. It is a tiny gem. Open Fri-Sun afternoons. pianolamuseum.online/en/visiting-...

I just think that risking your life at a moment's notice to save people you've never met in exchange for no money is a better expression of patriotism than dressing up like a Poundshop paramilitary and intimidating families with kids trying to get onto a ferry.

Thousands pay the price for this. They bear the effects of that day every time they struggle to breathe or visit the doctor. More people have died from 9/11-related illnesses than were killed on the day itself.

The problem with people is, there's a god shaped hole in our heads where we want Something Important to live, and we insist on filling it with *something*, which might be god or king or astrology or jumped-up autocorrect.

I was 12 or 13 at the time. Heard it live for the first time in 2007 and went bananas. (It should have been an encore at my only prior Police gig in late December 1983 at Wembley but my recollection is no encore due to the damn drummer being sick!)

I think it'd be really nice to read about people's first time hearing a song. A nice long thread of stories. But I don't know how to get the thread to take off. Maybe if you re-post with your story? Anyway, I'll start with my memories of hearing Buckets of Rain by Bob Dylan for the very first time..

I'd had the album on cassette for a few months and played it on my crappy mono player but the first thing I EVER heard in stereo was 1980-ish, The Police 'Regatta de Blanc' (track not album). Mind. Blown. My Copeland-crush significantly increased, and to this day I love that track.
