Both myself and my wife were in floods of tears at the news. Walter Koenig's passing earlier this week was sad, but this is a whole other level.

Sir Patrick, my captain, you will be sorely missed.

It's spelled Rarebit, not rabbit

DEC exhibition closed 10 months or so ago, but the museum is still worth visiting for the copy of the Bayeux Tapestry.

Sweeney Todd is still open :)

What a wonderful post - I really enjoy seeing other peoples taste laid out in such an accessible manner.

I love the reference to Druk/Another Round in the section on the Louis Poulsen PH 5. Such a great film.

Cherry-picked example from a right-wing propaganda rag that has no business on Hacker News.
They don't decide on a recall. They can sanction an MP, such as suspension from the House of Commons.

Instead, a recall petition - requiring 10% of an MP's constituents to sign to then recall - is automatically triggered when an MP is suspended for 10 or more days.

Farage engineered this situation to try to take control of the narrative about the investigation into £5m of undeclared income/gifts.

They neutered that move by not entering the contest in the first place. And Binface (with support of 32 other candidates) turned it into a humiliating exercise.

He was, that is solid Reform territory.

But Farage did not get to control the narrative of the situation ghat _he_ created - instead managed to beat a man with a bin on his head.

Well done, Nige.

Amd the winner of the by-election didn't even attended the announcement of the results.
