A rather late good morning,  but better late than never ey.

Sunny here at the mo,  but the forecast is not good.
My Ocado order has just arrived and is going through Customs ( AKA -  Lif & Gert). 

Just listened to a Telegraph podcast and it seems that this fine medic, upholder of the Hypocratic Oath, put on social media that the actions of Oct 7th were justified and within the bounds of acceptability and international law.

Think he needs to have his medical licence reviewed as a matter of urgency.

This isn't the first time the poppy has been used by a pressure group, I'm sure I have come across white poppies and purple poppies in the past. 

It's a long electricity outage that could cause the taps to stop working. A local issue would be fixed in a reasonable time anyway - its only if the brown stuff really hits the fan and there is a really widescale grid outage in which case there will be lots of other problems too.

The chances are low but the very fact there is any chance at all is the incompetence of the grid providers and successive governments allowing that chance to exist.

A serious PHP vulnerability has been found that impacts all versions of PHP that have been in use for years and years.

https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/news/critical-security-issue-affecting-php

This is only being patched in the latest version of PHP. The forum is running on an Amazon Lightsail server with an outdated version of PHP. This means I need to set up a new server once Amazon have upgraded their instances. I imagine this will be soon but until they have there is nothing I can do to fix this.

About three quarters of the internet runs on PHP so hackers will be active but hopefully not bothering with small beer like us. If we do get hit you may see errors or the server may go down completely. I take daily backups so should be able to restore the forum and get going with just the loss of some posts unless the server itself gets impacted.

Setting up a new server once Amazon have fixed new instances will take me a while too.

Britain is already at war with the Iranian regime.
Shut down the Iranian embassy.

Hear, hear.

Quote from: Alex on Yesterday at 10:55:11 PMI've just been reading about the man who designed this 'poppy'  AN NHS doctor, Abdul Qader Ismail has been unmasked as the designer of the "Palestine poppy" which has sparked fury from veterans.

Dr Ismail, from Birmingham penned a series of books that cover subjects including stoning.

He wrote in one: "These punishments are meant to serve as a deterrent... and any excuse is found not to apply them."

Give him his due.  'Harsh' punishments do serve as a deterrent.  It stands to reason.
I remember when hanging was abolished (in this country) the murder rate increased.

On the certain provision of proof beyond any doubt of responsibility, harsh punishments would serve as a deterrent in my opinion.

To be honest, whenever we hear of water shortages, it seems always to be darn sarf.  
Here, up in the frozen north, we seem to have more reliable water sources.
