I have a similar photo from Taft Point in Yosemite (so old it's actually on a slide, no digital copy!). Wandered up and sat down, dangled my legs, waved for the photo, then made the mistake of looking over the edge. I scooted away about 20 feet on my backside before I dared stand up!

Or a Beatles medley including "Ticket to Ride", "Day Tripper" and "Come Together"?

Very nice joke, though (and I hate myself for quibbling) it strikes me that nationalistic Brits have never had a problem living abroad - India, East Africa, more recently Spain - so much as the reverse transfer.

8 homes collapse in North Carolina's Outer Banks. How much shoreline has vanished? Eight homes collapsed in North Carolina’s Outer Banks this week from impacts of Hurricane Imelda, which passed as close as 170 miles from the East Coast.

SOME experts, not a consensus of experts. So they cherry-picked the most extreme estimate.
Also, models are constantly evolving.
Also also, Carolina's Outer Banks "have lost roughly 675 feet of shoreline since 1987 ... Rodanthe is losing more than 15 feet of coast per year".

Devil's advocate, we all get the same number of hours in a day, and most of us roughly the same in a lifetime, so maybe an hour of anyone's time should be worth about the same?
The real outliers "earn" more per day than most of us earn in a year, largely by short-changing the rest of us.

I can only think that people are blinded by their emotional connection to the music he played.
The best you can say is that he was "less creepy than Savile", but that's a bar so low it's virtually subterranean.

Still getting a pass despite all the opprobrium aimed at his colleagues 🤷‍♂️

I see what you're aiming at, and almost anything would be an improvement on the current system, but weighting power a bit to the bigger parties would help stability.
I'd have 100 constituencies each electing 6 members by STV.
That way, most people would have an MP voting for them who they voted for.

'Bout a hundred cops, and an indeterminate number of hoodlum gang members.

I'm still convinced Tandy went bust because I wasn't the only shopper who avoided them because they wanted your details to let you buy a battery.

It reminds me most of crypto or NFTs. But they turned out to be both useful and stable.

Although I disagree with Mamdani's decision, your argument is weak. If the 250th celebrations were going to be 1,000 people in one place, I'm sure they'd cope. But it'd be hundreds of events involving hundreds of thousands of people, on a day when the police don't want to be at work either.

John Treagood: Inside the life of the legendary lone traveller “I only went for a short walk for a couple of months to clear my head,” said John when asked what had led him to live  a life on the open road

John Treagood: "camped on a grass verge of a roundabout ... wearing a thick jumper over a shirt, a waterproof jacket ... green wellies and, of course, his trusty old hat."
“I only went for a short walk for a couple of months to clear my head,” admitted John. “It wasn’t supposed to go on this long!"

I'm above average at a reasonable number of things - Maths, computers, foreign languages, even English, but I'm insanely jealous of those who can make music or produce art like this.

I can blame my tin ear on lack of practice, but no amount of effort can make my hands draw/paint what my eye sees.

Kate's videos were always topnotch. Experiment IV is my favourite, but Army Dreamers is also mesmerising.

Could have been worse, the New York Times identified it as a Messerschmitt and shot it down.

Though I'm a little disappointed you didn't just comment:
"Cat".

She should be making a serious case for the policies needed to improve the country, not picking random trivial gripes and even being wrong about those.
They're a spent force, a total irrelevance.

That was terrific (though I didn't make it all through the make-up/costume/FX ones), but the ones for Spaced were also fried comedy gold. I still have a DVD player mainly for the commentaries.

I was sceptical, but it's the best musical I've ever seen in a theatre, and the movie is also very good.

I went interrailing in 1987 and we went up through Sweden and Norway to Narvik, then around to Helsinki, and although I remember changing trains because of the gauge difference, I'm pretty sure we just walked to another platform, so I assume the closure was after that.
