It'd be a real shame if this photo of President Obama receiving his Nobel peace prize went viral today, for no particular reason

Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, Dr David Bull, Paul Nuttall, still haven’t said a word about their MEP colleague from UKIP to Reform UK, the Reform UK Leader in Wales Nathan Gill.

8 charges of Russian bribery, all admitted.

Reform UK are on the hook for this.

Just to be clear:
- Paracetamol does not cause autism.
- Sadiq Khan is not introducing Sharia law in the UK
- We do not have a massive free speech problem here.
- Britain is not on the verge of civil war.
These are not controversial subjects or contested, they're just not true.

Everything Farage and RefUK plan rests on them dragging us out of the ECHR. That's why we have to start defending and informing about it NOW. People need to be afraid of leaving it. They need to know the move will threaten their OWN right to ...

New report available from our Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey at Somerleyton Hall in June 2025:

historicengland.org.uk/research/res...

The data suggests the presence of heated flower beds, known as "hot beds", extending immediately beyond the main glass houses.
cover of the Historic England Research Report number 61/2025 from Somerleyton Classhouses, Somerleyton, Suffolk. The cover photograph shows the GPR hand pushed cart collecting data inside the Glass House Cafe - yes you read that right inside an actual cafe with coffee and cake! Megan pushing the GPR hand cart with one of the ridge and furrow glass houses visible in the background. The "hot beds" are located under the grass immediately in front of the glass house. Composite image showing an extract of the GPR data visualised as a time slice (left) showing the hot beds as a series of parallel linear high-amplitude anomalies at a depth of approximately 1.12m. The red line indicates the location of the GPR profile shown to the right where both iron heating pipes [gpr2] and vaulted brick work [gpr3] are visible in the data. Photograph of the interior of the partially excavated glass house with an iron heating pipe heading out of the image to the left underneath the "hot beds" revealed by the GPR survey. The intricate pattern of vaulted brick work has also been revealed with vents left open to allow heat to rise through the soil.

The excellent engineer who expertly repaired our dishwasher today (he had never seen such an ancient heat exchanger...) had a degree in philosophy and a wonderful solution to the age old problem of the unmatched sock conundrum. Safe to say we got far more value than his miserly call put fee...

We stole a couple of nights from live gig prep to work up a final parody of the school year. So, prompted by Farage's stunt in the Channel last week, this one's called "Nigel Doesn't Care" and is a twist on the epic Bon Jovi track "Livin' on a Prayer". Have a great weekend 😎🎶

This was a most excellent evening physics, love and navigating grief, all through stars too numerous to name.

Thank you Julian.

Can you survey inside the glass house cafe? Oh yes, I think we can give that a go!
