They're building a new hall?

What a weird world we live in - Ukraine hits a data centre deep in Russia - Irish twitter users see racist posts about IPAS centres in Offaly fall off a cliff

That sounds good. Raw leaves?

Can't recommend growing sorrel highly enough. Hardly ever on sale here, doesn't need much light or attention, benefits from regular plundering of the larger leaves. Wilt on low heat, drain under cold water, reheat with a little butter, serve with scrambled eggs or in an omelette.

And it leads to this kind of argument where Output Areas are simultaneously individual streets and self-contained "communities" that constrain people's contacts and economic opportunities.

This is an old CSJ trick: using the inevitable outliers from small area data to back up statements to the effect that 'there are areas in the country where X% are on benefits/single parents/immigrants'.

Not this again. What source are they using? What population denominators?

I was looking for the entrance to the Institut just last week (years since I've been there) and as soon as I raised my eyes from Google maps the penny dropped that it was where chic people were standing outside smoking.

Ah but for once it would feel chic.
