Well it's been another wonderful enlightening evening on NoAgendaSocial, but this Gitmo East chap needs to hit the hay. Thank you @npub1me3…765c @npub1g7q…kpp8 @npub1a73…7y6q @npub1rae…dgnn and @npub1rzr…wjau. See you ITM.

@npub1rzr…wjau Our three local turbines seem to be feathered and not turning at anything above a wind force 5 (21 knots). I asked a maintenance chap why and he said they were worried the gearbox oil might catch fire.

@npub1klc…z8dr The UK was disturbingly compliant first time around. Facebag proved to be an amazing medium for village social shaming with people reporting on their neighbours for going out more than once a day.

@npub1me3…765c Everything else made it across; all the half finished stuff, the abandoned premises, the too old finish MSS, just not the one I thought was good and needed. And oh, how many people have I lectured on the importance of backups...karma.

@npub1me3…765c I had finished my submission letter and synopsis for agents, swanned over to my Documents folder to retrieve my glorious first three chapters and...gone. Everywhere. Thumb drive, 1TB HD, the lot. I can only assume I did the migration around full moon when I can be a little unhinged.

If you write I cannot recommend Scrivener highly enough. I just moved all my nonsense from my old laptop to a desktop, and in doing so, being a bit of an ass, I managed to delete my finished, lovingly edited novel, including my back ups. Don't ask me how, it's a talent. However Scrivener had made several auto back ups so all I lost was one modest rewrite. Mac and Windows only, sadly. You get a 30 day trial and it knock ordinary WPs into the weeds.

@npub1a73…7y6q Doubt it, she was an emergency room nurse before becoming an MP. It is, of course fashionable to deride the working class who get above themselves; it's why the UK MSM and civil servants despised her.

As an aside, I know know the museum curator who has JRRT's pipe and slippers.

2023-08-14 21:52:40

I drove through a village called Wetwang today. (No laughing at the back.) If you think you may have heard that before, Tolkien penned it onto his map of Middle Earth which should be the frontispiece of any self respecting copy of the Lord of the Rings. He borrowed a few more things from Yorkshire too, including the phrase 'Middle Earth'.

@npub1c8t…cru8 Fuck. Yorkshire is so fundamental to Christianity; it was home to recusant Catholics in the penal days (many were martyred), it had some of the greatest abbeys in Christendom: Whitby, Rievaulx and Fountains. The first hymn in Old English was written here. Also YBS said they wouldn't do this...boycott incoming?

@npub106n…vfwa @npub1uec…22tu Correct. They're doing the same in the UK. However, I do detect something of an awakening and a fightback.

@npub106n…vfwa I think we (the UK) knew where it was going in the 30s but we were playing for time. We knew Germany was breaking the Versailles Treaty but we knew every day we could build a Hurricane fighter or weld a plate onto a battleship without Germany attacking was a massive gain.

@npub106n…vfwa If you read Spike Milligan's* war memoirs (Adolf Hitler, my part in his downfall) he wrote that in 1939, while training to be a Royal Artillery gunner they had no ammunition so they'd mock-load the gun, pull the firing lanyard and entire gun crew would shout 'Bang!'
