Crash live, the only tractor on display.
A plane sounded like a four engined WW2 bomber and the OH said it sounded like we're being bombed. It was actually an Antonov An-12 run by the Ukrainian Cavok Airlines and will be probably filling up with supplies to help bombed out people. First time I've seen one of their planes in years but you can see why they sound like an old four piston engined bomber when they do the quick change in altitude and tight turn needed to land at Brum

Loved these

They were candy bones sold in a coffin box.

The answer, as we now know, is data. Big companies give us lots of free online stuff in return for unparalleled access into our daily lives, which they sell on to companies who want to influence us. Who are the hackers now eh?

Everybody stop what you're doing and go watch The Devil's Hour, with Peter Capaldi.

I can't tell you the philosophical/esoteric concepts addressed without spoiling it, but it's something which has fascinated me from Nietzsche to JW Dunne.

The best things have no easy answers.
