There’s a cafe at the summit of the popular Fuente Dé Cable Car in La Picos de Europa. It’s the only cafe in the area. They can charge what they like, then add more for the stunning view. But for a large brandy and half a lager, the cost was €4.50.
What would be the cost in Britain, do you think?

An email breaks the news that eBay have updated their terms and conditions. Can’t wait to read.

Still stops me in my tracks after 50+ years of reading American novels: ‘Couple’ not being followed by ‘of’.
‘I had a couple samples ready.’
‘Beyond a couple leads, the police had nothing.’

15. Gregging out ahead of the verdict

Gregg Wallace's interview with the Daily Mail is a historically bad attempt to reshape a narrative.

Conclave has beautiful cinematography and acting but the latter parts seem rushed. Unless you’ve read the book it’s not clear why things turn out the way they do.

Visited a site offering nutritional advice to pre-diabetics and the first thing it says is to accept cookies. Not what I was expecting but I'll take it.

He would be quietly ostracised by sensible people in the UK. Not the done thing, old chap.

‘Meta is now refusing to censor the worst people on the internet, but it will quietly continue to censor the best ones. This is how free speech is supposed to work.’

X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m.

Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?

If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

We’re heading into that strange, limbo-like time between New Year’s and Christmas.

It is impossible to underestimate my wife’s tolerance to Christmas music.

For me, the best dialogue in Black Doves was Jason ad-libbing to US Embassy lady Vanessa why she needed a security detail. “Yes, er, because of Al Quaeda. They went away. Now they’ve returned. And they’re furious.”

When trying to decide what to buy my 12-year-old nephew for Christmas, I think back to what I’d have liked when I was 12. Does anyone else do that? I think I was probably still at the lager stage.
