The Piccadilly line passes straight through a plague pit just near Knightsbridge station.

When I was a kid in Australia a mobile dentist went to every school once a year to do check-ups, fillings and to teach dental health to each and every child.

Whilst the PM is alive, he/she is the ONLY person that can launch Trident.

So, did Jezza go all Ron Burgundy and read the autocue stage direction? https://audioboom.com/boos/3632585-strong-message-here-part-of-the-script-or-did-corbyn-read-out-a-stage-direction

(Not sure why you think I would want to edit it anyway. I suspect your tinfoil hat is already firmly in place.)

I only just found out the meaning of the phrase 'junior doctor' today. It's any doctor below 'consultant' status. You can be a junior doctor for quite a few years.

Trident is an interesting beastie. Four submarines - one or two on active duty, one in dry dock and the remaining on exercises. Each sub is armed with multiple missiles each with multiple individually targetable warheads. No one knows where the active duty subs are, not even the PM. The captains are orders to go somewhere and hide, then come back in 3-4 months. They can receive communications but stay under strict radio silence. If the UK was to be attacked then they would launch only when ordered to by the PM (or a designated surviving official if the PM is dead). But there is also one other way they can be launched. If the UK is functionally destroyed (and there are a number of protocols to establish this - including 'Radio 4 not being on the air') then the captain opens a safe in his cabin. Inside is another safe, which contains the 'Letter of Last Resort'. This is a letter written by the PM, usually just after being elected. Inside are orders as to what to do if the UK government has been destroyed. The interesting thing is that the PM can order pretty much anything - the letters are destroyed/replaced on the PM leaving office, so no one ever knows what was ordered by any given PM. Civil services suggestions for orders include retaliate, don't retaliate, travel to Australia (if it still exists) and put the sub under the command of the Australian PM and... use your own discretion and do whatever you think is right under the circumstances.

Coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon.

You're going to start an argument with that map.

An utterly pitiful attempt at justifying the attack by one of the 'protesters'. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/sep/28/cereal-killer-cafe-protest-gentrification-poverty One word to describe him: twunt.

That's a bit like blaming gay-bashing on homosexuality, Lou.

Ah - for some reason it was set to the 21 sept. I had to manually change it to the 28th.

Which is why I think that on another time line, Davros did indeed escape the handmines and create the daleks anyway. Clara saying 'mercy' made the second visit predetermined.

His speech is on the Beeb right now - supposedly live? It's a crowd pleaser to be sure, but mostly unsurprising stuff. By his own admission it was toned down from his normal desk-thumping rhetoric. Interesting to listen to the differing crowd reaction to what he said.

T'was a little underwhelming - I've seen lunar eclipses before, but I think the light pollution in London lowered the spectacle. And my cheap camera wasn't up to the job.

That link says Wales is 4th?

I understood it as that Davros did manage to escape the handmines before the Doctor 'saved' him, but by going back, he gave Davros the concept of mercy and that was then transferred to the daleks.

You are too late - hipster's beards are already on the way out. http://www.theguardian.com/fashion/shortcuts/2015/sep/21/hipster-beards-historian-dr-alun-withey-clean-shaven-urban-creatives

So the Labour conference has chucked out the first of Corbyn's big policies - Trident. Honestly, if the left fought the right with half as much vigour as they fought each other, they might actually get somewhere.

You need a program that will compress the photo. Personally, I use IrfanView, but there are many out there.

Have you tried typing "chrome://crashes" in the URL box? You should get some info on what is causing it. Also, you might have a Chrome task still running (which would cause the message). Reboot should get rid of it.
