Well this is all very sudden and mysterious. Presumably there’s something specific behind it but not clear what that might be.

This role feels typical of so many infrastructure projects lately. Set a deadline, miss it, set another one, miss that too, get it in place in some limited form, oops that was a mistake.

It’s disgusting, misogynist language, directed at a woman. But she is a cunt.

The Petitions Committee (the group of MPs who oversee the petitions system) has considered the Government’s response to this petition. They felt the response did not respond directly to the request of the petition. They have therefore asked the Government to provide a revised response. 

When the Committee receives a revised response from the Government, we will publish this and share it with you.

Got a verbal diagnosis last month but still waiting on the report so I can try medication. In the meantime, the doctor told me to cut down on caffeine so now I’m even more scatter brained than usual.

Great that we can try something eventually, but the suspense is frustrating!

Out of the way of anything you might use a bottle for.

Everything except drinking from it! The scratchy cap touching my face and the sugary drips falling on me detract from the whole experience.

The real question is how to make it profitable. Turn the captured carbon into building materials somehow?

As it stands, who pays for it? Can’t rely on government subsidies, and can’t rely on business doing it unless they’re compelled.

I wish it would work but I just don’t see how it fits in the current system at any meaningful scale.

Update: Worth it, thanks for the tips everyone!

Took a drive out to a little town near Newmarket (Ousden) that seemed to be recommended as a stargazing spot. Top of a hill, hardly a cloud in the sky, sliver of a moon, and not even too cold. What a perfect night!

Even on an iPhone 13 mini without a tripod or any skill in photography we managed to get a couple of amazing snaps.

Finished up with some motorway services doughnuts on the way home in the wee hours.

Overall:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - would do it again.

Exciting stuff! Just an hour or two until it’s dark. Fingers crossed!

Reckon it’s worth taking a drive out of London to spot the aurora?

Terrible in the East End of London. The things I’d do to be able to just take a walking meeting without the call dropping out every 5 minutes!

Water may be wet. But let’s wait until January to be sure.

 

10 years without an increase in funding for SEND pupils is outrageous. Austerity is very much alive and well.

Am I doing this right?
