Tonight the Reform candidate for Makerfield is supposed to be on Question Time alongside Andy Burnham.  Apparently he may have been pulled :grin:

Time to get off to bed
Lay down and rest my tired head
The summer duvet is not too warm
Outside is rain and a storm 
Just as the weatherman said.


Pete had a phone call one day
His auny Nel was coming to stay
Oh No,  he thought
And began to feel frought
For she always wanted her own way.


He never knew what to feed her
And really he did not need her
She'd reorganise his life
And try to find him a wife

Quote from: klondike on Yesterday at 11:12:24 PMHere you go. Live and learn....

The figures on Abington Street (known as Discovery) commemorate the Northampton-born scientist Francis Crick, co-discoverer of the DNA structure. [1, 2]
Created by sculptor Lucy Glendinning, the figures and their support represent: [1, 2, 3]
  • The Double Helix: The soaring, curved plinths echo the twisting shape of DNA. [1]
  • The Physics of Life: The structures are designed to represent Crick's description of DNA as a balance between large numbers and the energies of attraction and repulsion. [1]
  • Optimism and Daring: The two identical, life-sized figures are captured mid-takeoff in bold, abandoned postures to symbolize the sheer daring, passion, and excitement of Crick's scientific work. [1]


I didn't know that Crick was born here.

Thanks very much for the explanation.

They are indeed .
Only yesterday they had to apologise for repeatedly misquoting Nigel Farage on Newsnight
Now I don't like Nigel especially but he has spoken up correctly over the Henry Novak murder .

Yet the BBC inserted a word he did not use ie white as in ' white cold rage '

Quote from: CHF on Today at 10:24:26 AMSpot on, Ruthio, the  BBC are always on the ball, but some people are so blind
 they don't wish to see.
Their loss.
🤣🤣🤣
The BBC have a history of 'adapting' genuine news and, basically, lying.  I suspect that you are the blind one!

I wish I still had my cat to hug; she died about three years ago, aged nineteen.
I still talk to her and call her my little person. I loved her to bits.
