The government motion for debate is: That this House declines to approve leaving the European Union without a Withdrawal Agreement and a Framework for the Future Relationship on 29 March 2019; and notes that leaving without a deal remains the default in UK and EU law unless this House and the EU ratify an agreement.

You're a very naughty boy!

An unnamed homeless bloke has been found dead in Evington Park, Leicester by a dog walker. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/leicester-news/dog-walker-finds-body-homeless-2636071 Doing a bit of digging I found that the U.K. Government's Office for National Statistics estimate that there were 597 deaths of homeless people in England and Wales in 2017. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/deathsofhomelesspeopleinenglandandwales/localauthorityestimates2013to2017

Another brand new Boeing 737 MAX 8 bites the dust in very similar circumstances to Lion Air Flight 610 last October. Radar playback seems to show fluctuations in vertical speed just after take-off for both aircraft. Some are already pointing the finger at Manoeuvring Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS). There'll be a few people at Boeing this morning running around like blue-arsed flies. Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 Aviation Safety Network Flight Radar 24

I loved Waiting for God but given Tom was only about two years old when it started, I think it's the latter.

The poor buggers didn't stand a bloody chance.

If you take a look tomorrow morning at an hour before sunrise, you'll see Venus (at an altitude of 10 degrees), Saturn (22 deg) and Jupiter (33 deg) all in a line. Pluto is in there too but of course it's not visible to the naked eye.

I remember that the instruction manual for the first electronic calculator I bought in around 1970 said, "to check if your calculator is working correctly, multiply 12345679 by 63 to give the answer 777777777". It was at this point that my slide rule was put in the drawer never to be used again.
