As a resident of Beckenham for most of my life, I can't believe I never knew he was born here. We even have a section of the high street pavement decorated in honour of Bowie, but nothing AFAIK for Frampton.
FWIW, Pub as featured on one of the Fairport Convention albums.
Burning flags is patriotic now?
In my hyper conservative churches growing up, I was always warned about liberalism but never far right authoritarianism. I was always warned about socialism but never predatory capitalism. I was always warned about feminism but never misogyny. I was always warned about homosexuality but never about abuse in the church. I was always warned about Islamic extremists, but never Christian nationalism. Imagine what American Christianity would look like today if it had focused on its own sins.
Nice to see he supports the British car industry....
I had two Acclaims, then a 2500 (the same one, twice) and finally a 1200 convertible, but the TR5 was the one I always wanted.
Such Spinal Tap energy
The USA produces its own oil and gas but it is still impacted by the jump in global prices.
Farage hasn't got a Scooby-Doo how the real world works.
The best thing Labour can do is introduce PR. That would all but assure them a role in UK government long into the future.
And that in turn would finally bring a desperately needed element of long-termism to our woefully short-termist political system.
Love these. Had a mk2 I bought from a Mr Crooks (really) in Bristol. After a few years, money was tight and I had to sell. A few years later I saw it parked and left my number. Eventually bought it back and had another couple of great years before the money ran out again.
Every journey an adventure.
Churchill...
#RejoinEU
Never heard of this society before, but very grateful to Bluesky that I know about it now. Hope you had a good AGM!

As someone who has voted for you almost every election for 40 years, this is not your best policy.
We should look to accelerate the energy transition. There can be some short term pain relief another way, but we know that politically fuel duty rises never really happen, so this locks us to oil.
My kids (28 and 26) have accepted that there will be no pensions for them and I think that they are right.
I am 57 and quite sure that the triple lock will be gone before I get to retirement. It was only ever there to encourage boomers to vote Tory and there will be few of them left.
Filthy sewage is still being dumped into our rivers, beaches and seas. Meanwhile, water company bosses pocket massive bonuses and hike up our bills.
It’s time to end the great sewage cover up.
Jesus said “blessed are the peacemakers.”
Not the warmongers.
Not the authoritarians.
Not those who see their religion as a battle against “the world.”
Jesus said “blessed are the peacemakers.”
Wherever peace is chosen instead of violence, there are the children of God.
So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?
Used to be more "metal bits" of course. The old lines to Moorgate and (iirc) the sidings under the market branched off there.
Fascinating area to work around (I help build general construction projects next to or over railways)
Might want to put that in simpler terms......
I agree that CN is a heresy.
I get why some of your replies are people saying CN identify as Christians. But mainstream Christians must make it clear that they reject CN views. Otherwise the CN view is normalised.
So this is me as a Baptist from the UK saying that CN is heretical and wrong.
It's our patriotic duty to write articles in the Daily Mail in return for the £2.3million we have taken from peoole with links to fossil fuels and climate change denial.
What's not to like?
Can I add a moan about the UI redesign on Acrobat Pro that buries everything that I actually use and only surfaces tools that are of no interest?
I had it just how I liked it, now I have to search for everything. I probably only need 10 functions (insert, cut and shuffle pages, export, clean scans)
In the wrong party for that.
Labour is beyond saving at this point. The quicker it dies the better for the country. We need to bring forward an alternative (Green, LD, PC or SNP) and stop harking back to a past that has gone.
Three right wing parties and nobody from the centre or left again.
So Russia can tax the rich?
The library is worth a visit, some great walks along the canals, and some great food (the best samosa I have ever had was from a friend's local take away)
Getting real tired of my faith being used as a prop for right wing culture wars.
