Surely, 2024 must be the Year of Linux on the Desktop, when the supermarket starts selling collectable Tux stickers. 😃

That sense of anticipatory excitement when one receives a text message in the morning. What will it say?

Only to discover it is a reminder from the energy company to submit a meter reading. :blobsad:

UK General Election on July 4th.
I wish it was Independence Day.

The elections are for the parliament at Westminster, London.

They have held multiple elections on the same day before. It never works well. People get confused about who they are voting for.

Probably, May 2026. Unless the government collapses before then.

Just seen the LibDems out already, erecting election posters. They didn't waste time. Probably because they aren't otherwise gainfully employed.

Yeah, good to know that in the 23rd century everyone will be back to using vacuum brewers.

This is going to sound dumb...

I've wondered for years why I couldn't send emoji in text messages (MMS).

Quite by accident, I've discovered that, all this time, I could. All I had to do was press, and hold, the enter button on the AOSP keyboard. This raises the emoji selector.

Why did no-one tell me?

Yeah, how is one supposed to guess these things?

By all means, let's protect our natural environment, but, we DON'T need another bureaucracy.

No more national parks.

I'm not alone, I've seen a few such banners in the locality.

Not as if the ones in Cairngorms or Loch Lomond have been a roaring success.

Losing democracy for a few bawbees would be well worth it, I'm sure.

@peterbrown
The boards are comprised of the usual mix of the "great and good". That isn't representative of the local community.

I live not far from the border of the Cairngorm NP. I have never heard a good word about it from LOCALS. NPs being a good thing is usually a view expressed by city folk.

NPs aren't even good for their stated objectives. I refer you to:

No, it is up to local people to stop it.

To-night, I got my first midgie bites of the year.

The midgie season has begun.

It's so sad. I have a couple of yellow azalea bushes (Ròs-chraobh - Rhododendron luteum) outside the kitchen window. As the name suggests they produce lovely yellow flowers. However, the flowers only ever last about a week, before they droop-down and fall off.

The bumblebees are making the most of it as I type. So, there is that.

Banana Ketchup???

Yuurrrggghh!

Who comes up with these disgusting ideas?

I hate bananas in any form.

The only good banana is a dead banana.
