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”

Has a reminder ever been anything other than "gentle" or "polite"?

Arthur C Clark's Civilisation
What would be your favourite version of Civilisation presented by someone with the surname Clark or Clarke, dear readers? Feel free to write in.
Alan Clark’s Civilisation, however, would focus primarily on racism and extra marital affairs.

It would be incredibly well written though.

Question 1 from Paul in Wilmslow: Is it OK to wear a coat in bed?

Answer: Yes it is OK to wear a coat in bed. I have just tried it and it's nice.

Seeing as the official map had an upgrade I thought it time I went and zoomed out for an overview of the Mars2020 mission at Jezero to date - sol 1690.
It's been quite the trek.

Buckle up friend it’s time for bread made out of crisps 🍞 🥔

Full disclosure it was not a flawless first attempt.

The aim was to make a loaf of bread where the majority ingredient is crisps.

1. Buy 450g of crisps, without shame
