I don’t think he was as knee deep as Butler, to quibble your quibble. Home was Chamberlain’s parliamentary aide, Butler was an FO minister who backed appeasement to the hilt and literally gave the winding up speech for the government on the Munich debate. Feel that’s more substantial?

The tiny yacht people, great short story

Trying to find a short ghost(ish) story I once read: someone finds a beautiful model yacht at the bottom of a pond/lake and it has the tiny bodies of miniature people on board. Faustian pact or something. Anyone?

TIL that the aggro af wasps you see in late summer are worker wasps who have finished their nest tasks and are all out seeking sweet stuff and raising hell for the locals with the last days of their lives while waiting to die, wasps are basically just the insect version of retired Brits in Spain

This is a more realistic photo of him around the same time and tbf he’s not *not* Hot but he’s a lot more Arthur from Peaky Blinders than Sexy Young Hipster

Twlldun @twlldun.bsky.social · 14h

Although that picture is in itself touched up and he didn’t look anywhere near that hot

Yes but Nicola if people didn’t wilfully misinterpret news stories where would they get their kicks

It just took one click to clarify that it's the Language element of English A Level that's being compared, not Literature. It's still a bit much tbh. KS3 level is surely more than good enough if we're looking for a standard.

I did a quick google and apparently there were income taxes underneath communism (I honestly didn’t know what with the you know communism) but they were actually pretty low. 13%!

An hour and 32 eventually. I’m not saying things were better when it was the electricity board (it patently wasn’t) but there must have been a point of equilibrium where choice and customer service and profit and whatever was…ok? Surely?
