I know. They were damned ingenious with their pits and greenhouses though.

The Victorians were growing Pineapples.

So we had only the second delivery in almost three weeks today. All it was was this. It's more or less garbage now. I checked online but you can only go back as far as two weeks, so this is useless. Guess we'll never know what it was. WTF have Royal Mail been doing for three weeks.

What a guy. He displays all the gravitas and diplomacy of a tangerine. Trump links Greenland dispute to not getting Nobel Peace Prize, in letter to Norway's PM WWW.BBC.CO.UK The US president says he no longer feels obliged to think only of peace, after not being awarded the annual prize. I'm curious; do either of this threads most prolific posters think this episode is to be applauded? If not, then how should Europe counter it, is Mr Starmer on the right track, or should he display more balls?

Pork rib and beef rib stew. Szechuan style.

Lady Money-Potts advertised for two handyman gardeners at her leafy property. Two young mates, Geoff and Kryn answered the advert and were given an interview. “Show me your hands” said her ladyship, they held out their hands and she could see they were cracked and calloused from all the hard work they’d done. “ Now show me your knees” she demanded, so they rolled up their trouser legs and showed her their calloused and scarred knees from previous kneeling, working in rough garden environments. “Hmmm, yes well it seems you’re not frightened of hard work the pair of you, now show me your testimonials”. Later, as they walked down the road, Kryn said to Geoff “ you know if we were better educated we’d have got that job.”

Kombucha. Looks rank, tastes good.

Steel can, unusual for a beer.

This is rather good.

Talking of old Tone, he seems to be cosying right up to Trump in his dream team, The Saviours of Gaza. That must rankle amongst the Trump fellators. Blair and Rubio named on senior executive of Gaza 'Board of Peace' WWW.BBC.CO.UK The former UK prime minister and US secretary of state will sit on the "founding executive board", the White House says.

My initial complaint btw, was just regarding normal post, letters that fit through a letter box. So not even considering the complications around parcel delivery. The postman simply hadn't even visited for 2 weeks.

All too common themes with most products and services in this brave new world of hours, from both the state and private providers. There's a Blur song about all this somewhere......

Yes, I agree. It's been gradually running down for years. What we're seeing is a step change since Christmas though. Never had at least two weeks with no mail. Royal Mail is now owned by a Czech billionaire I think.

So, we had some post today. The first delivery this year. Really. I didn't hear that they'd gone down to only fortnightly deliveries. Is it just the WM and Devon where the postal service has gone down the pan, or is this happening in other places as well?

Do you know what an inflection point is? Anyway, don't worry Davey, your Land of the Free is still doing it's bit to pay your wages, (figuratively speaking). All these AI searches you're making are starting to pay dividends. Cold and data centres drive up US greenhouse gas emissions WWW.BBC.CO.UK US emissions of planet-warming gases rise for the first time in three years. For reference: I think our deindustrialisation here in the UK began long before there was widespread recognition of man-made climate breakdown due to CO2.

Brilliant album that one. The man, Jim Morrison, was a legend. Died well before his time.

Bucking the trend here, but it's high time we had some good news.
