it’s funny how when people who own big houses are alive they had nothing to do with its value, but when they die their kids shouldn’t have to pay any inheritance tax because they worked VERY hard all their lives for it

So, happy 50th anniversary to Melody Maker’s review of Bohemian Rhapsody: “Queen, with a suitably baroque vocal orchestration, contrive to approximate the demented fury of the Balham Amateur Operatic Society performing The Pirates of Penzance”

#BirdOfTheDay #Gannets 🪶
In my youth, Gannets were rarely even seen in Helgoland, which lies in the North Sea between Germany, England, and Denmark.
Now they are the dominating the cliff tops, and the place has become a top spot for seeing them in Europa.

Today's Zealandia trip. Plenty of bird friends, including this tui with a facefull of pollen and a fetchingly posed tieke, but I'm particularly pleased to have spotted the rare ground-dwelling Kereru (of course food-motivated) and a rather dynamic close-up of a wee toutouwai.

LME copper races to all-time peak above $11,200 a ton
Copper prices on the London Metal Exchange set a new all-time high above $11,200 on Friday, spurred by a weaker dollar, lower output in top producer Chile in October and planned production cuts by Chinese smelters.

This wonderful Ancient Greek gold coin dates from late 5th-century BCE.
It was issued by the city of Akragas, today’s Agrigento, in Sicily.
The coin features a crab on the reverse, and an eagle standing on a rock, devouring a snake.These symbols were common designs on the coinage of Akragas.

This is off the top of my head.
These sorts of inefficiencies happen on quite literally a daily basis. Everybody in the system knows this. Everyone.
Yet what is the government’s diagnosis?
“Juries. They are the problem. Get rid of juries.”
It is absolutely mind-boggling.

Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

“What is that in your bed?”
“It’s a puffball mushroom I foraged.”
“Why is it there?”
“I was worried it had got cold and sad.”
“But you’re going to eat it soon anyway.”
“The fact that we all have to die at some point doesn’t mean we should not live well, in comfort, beforehand.”

IMPORTANT: When transporting a giant puffball mushroom you have recently foraged, it is absolutely crucial that you ensure the mushroom is firmly strapped into the passenger seat of your car to guard against sharp braking and potential whiplash

The evergreen alder has had large leaves removed and will have small buds shortly in time for a new owner.
Hope all keeps going well for you and your great work.
