Sound to my ears like more than a passing suggestion.
I wonder if it's something to do with the habitual state of my living room.

"The pope, Mark Zuckerberg and U2 walk into Irish referendum"
(I liked the headline, but deserves a better punchline)The results of Friday’s vote in Ireland on whether to repeal a near-complete constitutional ban on abortion will send tremors far beyond the Irish border.
Everyone from U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May to Mark Zuckerberg has something to gain, or lose, depending on the outcome.

Re: Friday 25 May 2018
Far from an extra £350m a week, what the UK actually faces is a choice between the Brexit that Gove, Johnson and co want, or a fully funded NHS that works. Just for fun, ask yourself how another poll couched in those terms might go

"The North Korea summit farce makes it clear again: Trump is political Ebola"
13:42Given Trump’s now familiar mercurial behaviour, it’s possible all this could change tomorrow – even that the summit will be back on again. It depends, apparently, on the president’s mood. And this raises a much bigger question. How much longer can the international community pretend that having a narcissistic amateur running the White House is a tolerable or even manageable state of affairs? Just look at the global wreckage after 18 months of Trump.

“Very good news to receive the warm and productive statement from North Korea,” Trump tweeted. “We will soon see where it will lead, hopefully to long and enduring prosperity and peace. Only time (and talent) will tell!”

Re: Friday 25 May 2018
Afternoon all.
School first and then library all day is my excuse...and finding an old newspaper article about the demise of a sports ground 15 minutes before staff went home left me in a really good mood. Photos of microfilmed pages don't come out that well but they're readable. Now uploaded so I have an article to finish!

If I'm not here, then I'll be in the library. Or the other library.

Surely no government body would slip out an important consultation on a Friday afternoon ahead of a bank holiday weekend followed by a week of school holidays and set the deadline as a week on Monday. That would never EVER happen. Oh! https://feweek.co.uk/2018/05/25/t-level ... taggering/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; …

Final byelection of this week was today, result still awaited.
The review will appear in due course, as always![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
Another exit poll from Ireland has an even bigger YES vote, incredibly.

Happy GDPR day! It isn’t quite Christmas, but this year you’ll probably get more emails about May 25 than you will December 25. So very many emails. In the two years since
Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was passed, an elaborate web of hype has been constructed.
