assuming everyone has already read this but if not: please be advised that the first time I read it I was at my desk at work and I had to go for a little walk halfway through because I thought I was about to die from quietly laughing

For some children, “I miss you” is no longer said at bedtime or at the front door. It is said at a cemetery.

Makes you wonder why Iran hasn't dropped a BM on the runway at Ben gurion. Patriots.
The others are kc-46a which can receive as well as supply fuel.
FY 62- tail numbers are kc135r tankers, you have airport codes and ads-b callsigns
This happens after the referendum, I believe.
Under discussed: what happens when eu diplomats take a view on "necessary democratic reforms" as part of an A49 accession process and how that impacts UK debate. Authoritarianism, freedom of speech, protest rights. How does that cast the UK as an accession state, as compared to an ex Soviet state?
Smart move.
But let's not be churlish. This is a proper paper. Ian Dunt writing on this is right: the redlines look dead.
However, worth reiterating that it's an application, not "rejoin"

One side obsession from my research into the 1920s is the extensive network of ELECTRIC trains that used to connect cities and towns across the central Midwest called the Interurban. We had this more than a hundred years ago. The things we had and the things we lost.

Been banging on about denying criminals use of 2nd hand marketplaces for a few years.
Between Facebook, eBay and Gumtree it's possible to shut most of it down by requiring verified sales.
Look, my guillotine rental business is not a scam.

I love the point in the discussion at which a driver mentions cameras as a kind of comfort toy.
and back yourself. The industry is tough, there is little respect for IP: there is always another player who will rip off your idea and do a cheaper version of it. And there are products that are either needless, poorly engineered, or both.
Even so, Mike Burrows made a significant mark on cycling.
I've read in another obituary his critique of the cycling industry: "they're blindly pinning the tails on donkeys", which rings true in many cases when you look at the behaviour of product engineers and companies. The rational response to that is to be a founder, maintain total control
I got the impression he was more proud of his later work with Giant than the Lotus involvement. But in each case I could also sense that he struggled with the engagement with the larger entity, and the 8 freight was the final response to that.
I had already read his book Bicycle Design, so he was basing it all off that.
Kind of a retrospective of all his greatest hits:
slipstream recumbent racers
8 freight
TCR
Other lesser known projects he did for Giant like the folding bike
So lucky to meet him once when he gave a lecture in Cambridge. I'm so full of admiration and I think of him whenever I'm in my workshop or working on bikes.
ok, more liberal than BoJo.

l'd love your take on "Jeremy Clarkson's a liberal", which I saw yesterday. I think that would help us all.

#BeKind is a fascinating subculture, in the same way as woodlice under a limestone rock are a fascinating subculture.
Obviously the fall of the Berlin Wall/collapse of the Soviet Union. That was in 1989/1991 you know.
What I'm saying is Clarkson is downstream of Johnson, not Trump, with none of the criminality. He's actually a successful businessman, doesn't need politics or lawyers to bail him out of failed deals.
