Waxing and Waning

https://mastodon.org.uk/@Waxingtonknee

Reformed Tux Techie.
Sometime minister.
Drinker of good coffee and better gin.
Trying to muddle through life and faith.
Unrepentantly pro-EU: We're better together.

Toots are mostly the eclectic ramblings of a widely led life but might include:

#Faith
#Family
#Theology
#Linux
#GNU
#Steamdeck
#TableTopGaming
#Geocaching
#TheWestWing
#Politics
#Brexit
#ProEU
#Coffee
#Gin
#RealAle

but not necessarily in that order.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc.

appalled and shocked at this revelation. Johnson was a pathetic man child with no grip on reality. His disastrous premiership, and hubristic Brexit debacle has cost this country £200bn and counting and it's standing in Europe and the world.
Totally ashamed.

How are we meant to take Wikipedia seriously when no one moderates a sentence as abominable as this?
"where she was hired by two professional divers who enterprised an aquarium fish business."
Enterprised??? Do you mean "had begun". "started" "established"?

I never left Firefox. I was there that day in '04 when we broke the 'most downloaded' in 24 hours record. I was there during the buggy years and I'm still here today, despite Mozilla's misguided attempts to get on the AI bandwagon.
If a website won't work on Firefox I won't give them my business. No my browser isn't out of date, your website has failed basic compliance.

In the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Douglas Adams theorised about a planet where all the lost biros migrate to when we're not looking.
Folks I give you this photo of Douglas Adams' grave in Highgate Cemetery.
