@samueljohnson No, because drink is not a forbidden pleasure for them, but something to be enjoyed.

It being a perfect autumnal morning, with warm sunshine, blue skies, and just a touch of freshness in the air, we took ourselves off to the Terme di Caracalla for a Cultural Quickie®. The primary purpose was an exhibit of photos by Frank Horvat but the ruins […]
That is absolutely stunning. Your daughter is very fortunate.
Further to the idea that the colonist settlers of New England allowed their prejudices to blind them to reality, I offer their misidentification of domesticated dogs as wild wolves.

@samueljohnson Good points, well made.
Another appeal from Wikipedia on the grounds I've been a repeat donor. My reply: I won't be giving again because of Wikipedi's anti-union activities. Tip: if you're writing to people in Ireland telling them about your fundraising in the UK isn't relevant and suggests you might not know […]

When you finally find some molasses in a local shop and it isn’t yet cold enough for porridge for breakfast, obviously you make molasses cookies.
@moira Being able to just print off an attachment band for yourself is a really great thing to be able to do.
Need to withdraw this question. I discovered this morning the my LBS (Local Brompton Shop) had this lovely pair of pedals which he gave me at a steep discount because they had been mounted once and then immediately remounted because the customer “didn’t like […]
Well, that's a major downer. Was scheduled to go out with the local Bromptonauts for a tour of the city's obelisks, went to top up the tyres, discovered the back wheel had a puncture. In a mad rush, because of course I had left checking too late, I took it apart, fixed the hole with a quick […]
On this week's episode of adventures in fraud... A scammer contacts an employer via email, using a throwaway gmail address, to request changing an employee's direct deposit details. The only information they have is the employee's name and title (and this is a public-facing municipal employee […]
