If the water companies are running short of water couldn't they just withhold dividends from shareholders and then harvest their tears?

XML is a wate of time and any data stored in XML is probably useless anyway.

We are assuming that there was a goal. Massive cheer from the pub followed by the power supply to the whole village going off!

Everyone aged under 55 learnt about climate change at school. The country is now run either by people older than that or people who failed to learn anything at school.
Went to the railway crossing on Asher Lane to see a steam train - is this what Mastodon likes?

Sexual Health Services in #Nottinghamshire have a survey about their current website: https://www.sexualhealthnn.co.uk/latest-news/sexual-health-services-nottingham-and-nottinghamshire-website-feedback-survey/
However, nobody who visits a sexual health clinic every really wants to fill in a survey - and nobody every wants to fill in a survey about "what do you think of our website". So the whole of the NHS design will be based on the 16 people who have replied.
You can help! Fill it in with useful suggestions - even if you don't live/work in #Nottingham. Otherwise we are left in a feedback loop of the same dozen people who complete survey's.
Well done @DJDarren@mendeddrum.org Hope the early mornings go well.
For ten years Google Photos has thought the #researchED poster kid is part of my family.
New #Meshcore v1.14 firmware is out.
Sometimes a child needs to face the consequences of their actions, even if that impacts the rest of the family.
Especially if that child is currently president of the USA.

Today in Currys they were selling a Scam Detector, for only £20 a year. Fortunately I think I can still spot a scam when I see one.
Not if your problem is gonorrhoea.
In 2015 Bear Grylls took the president of the USA for a 24 hour trip to see the glaciers in Alaska. Just Barack Obama and a foreign nation, alone without security - and Bear Grylls had a knife.
Security for a sitting president doesn't have to be tight, when everyone is inspired by them and not in fear of them.
Beth doesn't think we should buy a £3m property, but I'm only £2.99m short and we wouldn't have to move far.

@markwoll I was under the impression that every event in the USA was an excuse to buy assault rifles. Less need for hunting equipment here in Nottingham, UK (with the exception of Robin Hood needing to restock bows and arrows).
Clear night tonight. If you're in the right place and look carefully you can see all sorts of satellites. And from here you can see the Artemis II spacecraft. 😁 #Joke

@DJDarren There will obviously have to be a scandal unearthed from 30 years ago. But before that Children in Need will have you running backwards around the whole coastline of the UK.

Interesting I've just been searching for an old message in Teams and when I click on one of the search results it says that it can't show it because the message is deleted. Sounds like the search index might be including deleted messages. 🤦

As most of his words are waffle, I'll just pick the bits we want to hear.
Do you remember:
The boy band Bros.
Their album Push (1988).
The song "Cat Among the Pigeons".
No?
Let me FUCKING remind you:

On the way to the pub we walk across The Green, where the adults from the dance studio had decamped to work on their performance. We then met a 70+ neighbour who was out washing his car.
Arriving at the pub we met his partner and told her we'd just said hello.
"Was he still washing his car?"
Yes, we stopped and had a chat as he did it.
"Were the dancers still on the green?"
Yes, they, were... Oh. The penny drops. He doesn't normally wash the car but tonight there was a reason for him to stand outside, and for her to head to the pub. 🤭

@leighms@mastodonapp.uk Ignore that I've been on satellite view and think I've found it.
Replying to
@leighms@mastodonapp.uk I hadn't realised it was there and so instead of looking through endless satellite images, I checked the topology and there are only two places I'd put it.
Now I'm going to be wondering how fast it drains - and would it not be best to wait until summer instead of just after a really wet winter.

I have never bought or own any hunting equipment; but is this the time to start stocking up?

Was sat on a bus with two Americans talking about their upcoming visit to "Daar-bi-shy-air", I resisted the temptation to ask them to say Loughborough.

@leighms@mastodonapp.uk Is it Catstone Hill Reservoir? I'm trying to think where the Bramcote one is.
I love spam phone calls from AI bots. I've just had this one talking for over 6 minutes.
It cannot speak in other languages. Or tell me pie, or the time, or do any maths for me. It can count backwards from 10 but not from 11 (or higher). It can direct me to it's websites but didn't have any access to change the website or post to it.
One day I'm going to bankrupt some company through their own phone call! 😉
Oh, has Anneka Rice died?
No. She is still fine.
This is just Google deciding that the bio for Anneka Rice should be the lead story in my news feed this morning.

As they're so affordable now, maybe I should start buying NFTs. 🤔
