Meanwhile the UK Grid Reference Finder Batch Convert Tool is the one-stop shop for large-scale conversion of OSGR or Easting/Northing into WGS84 lat/long ... or vice versa.

Paste lists into it, specify their flavour, hit convert, c&p the results.

Good plan. Suggest you choose a story which was not the #1 story on all of the news media of the country in which it happened.
November 21, 2025 at 5:28 PM
I see. Weird that the Internation edition of the Guardian would lead with a story of international interest, rather than a UK bribery scandal.
November 21, 2025 at 5:10 PM
And it is the lead story on the Guardian website just now.
November 21, 2025 at 4:51 PM
It led the BBC news website this morning during the sentencing phase (i.e. was the left side large 'live' story), and now is in position 3 on the home page.

Unsure what planet you're on.

Yes, he's covered that too.

CWGC's work in standardising cemeteries, headstones, and erecting Blomfield's Cross of Sacrifice, or Lutyens' Stone of Remembrance according to cemetery size and number of war dead is fascinating.

Their handling in the databases leaves much to be desired. IWM ignores them. Canmore mostly treats them as an undifferentiated war memorial. CWGC doesn't seem to have an accessible list of them & their locations. Wikipedia has a partial & short list. :(

You know you want to.

was. Easy mistake to make at 79. The rest, not so much.

Agree. Straight-up bigot argumentation.

Doesn't seem 'incredible' if the case gave rise to a specific idiom for the occurrence, and is well known to DC lawyers who actually have a clue.

This case is well-known to D.C. prosecutors. In fact, the process of taking an indictment where a portion has been rejected, re-drafting it, and presenting the amended version to the grand jury for a vote is called "Gaitherizing."
November 19, 2025 at 8:26 PM
Or, OTOH, it does reflect well, because an argument can be made that the indictment's two counts were accepted by the GJ, and the magistrate was involved in the annotation of the No Bill. Where there is room for doubt, there is need for further focussed litigation.

Weird that a judge is proceeding cautiously & incrementally, but a VoIP and WebRTC guy is full of certainty. Who to trust, eh?
November 19, 2025 at 7:39 PM
Probably. Sailed in Drake's fleet on the 14th September 1585, according to McDermott's "England and the Spanish Armada: the necessary quarrel" (2005) p.156.

The court has, in essence, now asked both sides to comment on exactly that question. And the reason they have done that is because they are not a peremptory Bluesky poster and they would wish a dismissal to be properly discussed with respect the Circuit's prececents.
November 19, 2025 at 6:38 PM
Would that any of the journalists had the courage to ask that question.

All perfectly normal and unbiased, Sooz. The BBC exculpated itself, saying "a photomontage is an established technique in journalism to make a point visually and succinctly". So that's okay then.

Good work.

"Gloomy Memories" (1857) - 212 small font pages of Donald MacLeod being *extremely* pissed off with the Duke of Sutherland (for the Highland Clearances), and later Harriet Beecher Stowe (for defending the Duke).

Has occasional paragraph breaks.
