Your reality, sir, is lies and balderdash… and I’m delighted to say that I have no grasp of it whatsoever!

    I was a long-time user of One Note and about 8 years ago tried to export some of my notes - which was nigh-on impossible to do regardless of whatever MS says. I realised that I didn’t like feeing I didn’t have full control or ownership and that set me off on a course if self-hosting and linux. I’m not completely there but certainly further on than I was then. I like using linux much more than OSX and certainly Windows (which I stopped using about 2012).




  • Councilors often go on about being busy but what do they actually DO? I live in an area where councillors can earn £17k a year. I have yet to see a councillor in real life or see anything happen in our local area as a direct response of the councillor’s actions. Our councillor doesn’t even live here (in the countryside outside of our town.

    From what I understand, they sit through a lot of meetings where council officials tell them what they are doing. The more meetings they sit through, the more cash they earn.










  • For me it’s a conspiracy theory (and most likely untrue) - but it’s quite an interesting one rather than “stupid”. Raises ideas about authenticity and what people are doing when they go to look at artifacts in museums. There HAVE been paintings, for instance, hung in galleries for years that have turned out to be forgeries but - for a long time people were happy staring at the “art”. Also, ones that have been restored beyond a point where they are pretty much not the original piece. How much would it alter things if the Marbles were all replaced with exact replicas at the British Museum?








  • From what I understand Kemkaran was parachuted into Kent from Bradford a couple of months before the election. Locals in Maidstone have been asking for proof that her residence is in Kent. She has a background in media and has an online history that is beginning to get some scrutiny.

    From my perspective this is the start of a coup by some well-organised, well-financed right-wingers.
