@mscI have absolutely no authority at all. It's great. New year, new me! FTM!

 

More concerning is how to explain the avatar change to SC who is obviously quite disturbed by this development.

Lunch break mystery... (yeah, that's what I do as almost the only one in my department to not be working from home).

 

I caught this story in the Guardian about Chinese billionaires kicking out British millionaires of newly acquired golf clubs:

https://www.theguardian.com/news/2021/mar/02/wentworth-golf-club-reignwood-yan-bin

 

In the article, I stumbled across Sir Stanley Simmons, former physician of the queen, supposedly still alive in his 80s.

Only, he's been dead since 2017:

https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/thetimes-uk/obituary.aspx?n=stanley-clifford-simmons&pid=185691622

 

And the article had already been run by the Guardian in 2016:

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/feb/20/battle-for-wentworth-golf-club-surrey-super-rich

 

So yeah, they altered the article slightly, put a new author on top, but didn't remember to check their quotations. 

(I'm kind of considering talking to the author on his twitter account later)

 

Edit: Well, the author is an author and actually relevant historian at the University of Cambridge... Jesus, you'd think he'd be a little more careful.

NB: This will be my last reference to this fiasco. It all needs to stop.

British "controversial" conservative activist and general has-been Milo Yiannopoulos is now ex-gay, "sodomy-free" and wants to "rehabilitate conversion therapy".

https://nypost.com/2021/03/10/milo-yiannopoulos-announces-he-is-ex-gay-and-sodomy-free/

 

I especially like this quote:

"As far as his personal life, Yiannopoulos said of his husband: “The guy I live with has been demoted to housemate, which hasn’t been easy for either of us. It helps that I can still just about afford to keep him in Givenchy and a new Porsche every year. Could be worse for him, I guess.”"

Btw, if anyone wants a hint about who might be ill, Iain claimed that Douglas Hurd doesn’t have very long to live. I mean, he was so spot on with Vera Lynn back in late February of 2019 so surely he’s right now...

He is also running a poll to say whether he should leave twitter or not. 

I think the Hurd rumour is taking it too far myself.

Not sure where else to post this.

 

Watching something on Talking pictures TV, a thing called No Hiding Place dating from 1963 I saw a face that I knew playing the role of Cathy Kennedy who was the daughter of the victim of a murder, Michael Kennedy.

Her face struck a chord with me as someone that I knew and on checking the credits it came back as Particia Brake, on further checking I knew her from Porridge as Fletcher's Daughter Ingrid.

 

Here is the twist, she married a Michael Kennedy in 1997, struck me as a strange coincidence.
