This might sound weird but adding some salt to raspberry jam is really very good. Not much, just a little and it brings out the flavour really nicely.

Biggin Hill is full of flags randomly upside down and I find it depressing. Even the house of the people who probably did it have an upside down Union flag flying from their porch.

I love the A19. I have walked the entire length of it, although not in one go.

If Trump is actually dead then the MAGAts will likely try to blame it on Hunter Biden’s laptop.
WigglePig (@wigglepig.bsky.social)
To the flag-shaggers putting up Union flags all over the place and graffitiing roadways, please do us the favour of learning which way up the Union flag goes and why it goes up that way. Failing to do so just demonstrates that it’s nothing to do with flags and everything to do with bullying.

So Radio 4, just who are you going to interview to give some balance to that piece with Baxter this afternoon?
WigglePig (@wigglepig.bsky.social) reply parent
I remember when I very first saw Gilden’s photos and thought they looked odd. Then I saw a video of him taking photos in New York and I was horrified; how can anyone behave like that and survive, let alone publish the results? Truly awful. Then I saw an interview with him and it was clear…
WigglePig (@wigglepig.bsky.social) reply parent
I really should read one of your books…which would you recommend if I was only to read one as an absolute maximum?

How many “tragic mishaps” have occurred *just involving hospitals* in this cleansing operation? Look at that number.
WigglePig (@wigglepig.bsky.social) reply parent
To add a little perspective to my post because some of the responses and DMs I have received are absolutely wild; I *asked*. I said *please*. There is no need to become so spectacularly angry about my point of view that I feel the need to block you.
WigglePig (@wigglepig.bsky.social) reply parent
Yup. More carriers and companies should do this; just stop dealing with their BS.
WigglePig (@wigglepig.bsky.social) reply parent
Pretty much all of the colourised images look like they have been coloured-in, with the colours looking flat and false. Colourised moving pictures often have all of that and poor registration, sometimes with weirdly aliased chroma components that jitter. Personally I like B&W, as original.
WigglePig (@wigglepig.bsky.social) reply parent
To be honest, if they had wanted it colourised then they would have either done it themselves or had it done at the time. They probably wouldn’t have waited 80 years for some ai-tech to do it without their being asked.
WigglePig (@wigglepig.bsky.social) reply parent
To be honest, the interview of some Farridge-adjacent goon this morning on R4 was pretty good. The interviewer really didn’t let him get away with the lies he was trying to peddle.
WigglePig (@wigglepig.bsky.social) reply parent
This is something that has been an issue for some while. If you want to buy an EV with reasonable range (and I mean reasonable, not huge) then you’re largely stuck with massive barges of SUVs. The new range of smaller ones like the R5 look great and hopefully mean a shift towards providing options.
WigglePig (@wigglepig.bsky.social) reply parent
Ooh, that would have been wonderful.
WigglePig (@wigglepig.bsky.social) reply parent
Please don’t use “colourised” photographs, it is disrespectful of the original work and entirely unnecessary.
WigglePig (@wigglepig.bsky.social) reply parent
I wonder if they realise that you can, and should, add these things up?

Ah, but with an older camera or no? I feel a bit of super-8 footage of a class 37 would be lovely.
WigglePig (@wigglepig.bsky.social) reply parent
Unfortunately you are probably both correct. There are parts of London where differences are absolutely not welcomed, although those are the bits not worth going to. Large swathes of London are full of people who are lovely, friendly and completely accepting, even if they might not quite understand.

It’s weird how the BBC manages to be simultaneously right-wing, Orwellian and socialist…

Whilst reprehensible, painting over the crossing is not the issue. The issue is that a mass shooting of 49 people could even take place in a “civilised” “democracy” and was only “the worst at the time.”

PFI weren’t a completely terrible idea, it’s just the way they were set up that makes them awful. The costs for normal maintenance are generally *extras* and charged at insane costs, making a mockery of any possible savings that might have transpired.
