Just had a stream of about 30 Jackdaw go clattering madly across the street from west to east - I've no idea what got their feathers in a fluster, but something surely did!

Ha! Yes. Would've been more alarming had it been an 11th Doctor mug!

Thanks - me too! ๐Ÿ’™

New mug to replace my 13th Doctor one, which I somehow managed to crack in 2 different places at once!

๐ŸšจIndependent analysis shows these changes would make NO meaningful difference to the court backlog and there is no credible evidence it will make justice swifter - WHAT IT WILL DO HOWEVER IS PLACE US ON A PATH TOWARDS AUTHORITARIAN JUSTICE

Is that what we want?

Note to self: stop assuming things are 'common knowledge' when it manifestly ain't so!

Anyway, JMB done good.

Oh!
Once again I discover that something I know isn't common knowledge to all! Always a surprise when that happens, though I've no idea why it continues to surprise me, given it happens often!
