Okay, this one is a long shot. Many years ago, a friend played the album (an LP) at 45. I think it was an accident. It was not John Peel. The album version played at 45 was good, but obviously much higher BPM Does anyone know of a PNG remix that speeds it up like that?

A pigeon has taken residence in our garden. It’s not a problem, it has ringed legs, which leads me to believe it is a homing pigeon. Anyone lose one? It’s been here a week or so. It would be lovely to hear from anyone who knows better …

Picture of a bird in the gutter of my roof. It might be a homing pigeon, it is rampant guardant,

4/ Instead, they choose a selfish path and deny the benefits to anyone who is not their progeny. So if we don’t have their commitment to the outcome, we need their financial replacement to do that job. Hence, tax private education fees. They can not opt out of social responsibility.

2/ to privately educate your children is to opt out of society. You are trying to preserve your advantage for your own children and ignoring the vast majority of other children’s outcomes.

I just had to look up rhotic, but yes, now I know I’m a non-rhotic anglophone, it is totally obvious to us - it’s the answer to “what does the donkey say?” It wouldn’t have occurred to me until today that it isn’t obvious to everyone and I think we’ve all learned something here.
