You got the eggs the wrong way round, should have had scrambled eggs today given the book title.

Though also very much aware we’re two British men commenting on a subnational election in a country we don’t live in (though somewhere we have a lot of exposure to).

Agreed, but also can’t ignore the effect that such wins might have to re-energise the wider movement which has been very much in the doldrums the last 12 months.

I revive mail and deliveries for all 4 other properties on my street. I sometimes feel like a mini post office. Though sometimes is the other people’s fault (rather than RM/delivery folk) because they accidentally select my address rather than their own.

Even more frustrating is that while I’m no 4 proper (and upstairs is 4A) there’s also three other number 4’s on my street: two ‘Flat 4, No X/Y’ with the same post code as me, and also one No 4 ‘XXX houses’ but with a different post code.

I think a lot of this is due to utilities companies. I’m no 4 in the PAF, but ground floor flat with at least one utility and ‘lower ground’ with another (even though the flat doesn’t have any space below ground level).

People always find it weird I have my parents listed with their full names rather than just "Mum" or "Dad".

I unsubscribed the other week after I finished SNW S3 (will resub for S4) with that film still un watched. I doubt I’ll ever watch it. The trailer didn’t make it at all appealing.

It’s the same with rail nationalisation, which I much more pro, but “GB Railways” just hurts.

These days I’m not entirely anti-ID cards, but calling it “BritCard” I’m definitely against that.

No, this comes after `page-footer` which is part of the quarto generated content. This is one of three "includes" that prepend/append to the content. You can specify these either in the page or project YAML.

"Llamas are liars"... ah yes, I'm always using that common retort: "You know, you're a real llama, always lying to me"

there's also tidyxl which returns a data frame whereby each row is an individual cell and provides detailed metadata about each cell, there's an associated package unpivotr which allows you to process complex/messy spreadsheet structures like multi-column/multi-row grouping labels.

readxl is my go to for reading in a spreadsheet as a simple data frame. openxlsx2 allows more complex interactions including writing back with formatting etc and constructing a multi-sheet workbook
