I should not be condemnatory.

And I suppose the process might possibly explain my lingering support of Bristol Rovers despite a half century of disappointment..

I can’t believe you have fallen into the trap of supposing that regular folk might require evidence to support their claims.

So old fashioned. Honestly.

Researchers have come up with a new strategy to help chemists get more figurative bang from aromatic amine building blocks with less chance of literal explosions. cen.acs.org/synthesis/pr... #chemsky 🧪

Can this metal-free method unseat the classic but explosive Sandmeyer reaction?

Metal-free challenger to the classic deamination can be used in tandem with cross-coupling

Someone got into my car last night and had a good old rifle through the pockets. Inexplicably, they left the Bugaboo in the boot. Clearly not a parent

Quite.

I'm surprised it's still a thing. Our neighbourhood regularly had its collective parking change nicked from cars in driveways, but since Ring cameras & parking apps, it's died down a bit.

It's not even released yet, but this is the funniest film trailer I've ever seen.

On an obscure note of no consequence, my Portuguese teacher alerted me to this.

Absolute perfection. #Reform

Our Granddad is 100 and fought in D-day
and he thinks Farage is the right man to
sort Britain out. He says he reminds him
of one of the commanders he fought
alongside with distinction. In the next
few weeks he's going to auction off his
medals and donate all the money to
Reform. Anyone know how much an Iron Cross is worth?

It's in Sherborne (an easy day out from Waterloo, so you must come down..)

There's also another excellent gelato maker (Baboo) near Dorchester & who supplies our village shop.

Only problem now is that if we inadvertently eat 'regular' icecream, it's far too sweet.

All made on the premises, fresh every day & new flavours every week.

The other day they did a Dubai chocolate version that was very much better than the (overpriced) chocolate bars.

Well it was:

1) Totally delicious, &

2) an uphill walk back to the car, ensuring any stray calories will have all been burnt up.

Guilt free gelato.

The field in front of Dower House in Stoke Park is said to be haunted by the ghost of Lady Ann Elizabeth Somerset, who died after falling from her horse in 1760 aged just 17.
Visitors to the park report seeing her apparition or (more commonly) hearing the sound of galloping hooves.

The Lycurgus Cup is a 4th-century Roman glass cage cup made of a dichroic glass, which shows a different colour depending on whether or not light is passing through it: red when lit from behind and green when lit from in front.
