Weren't members of the audience behind him hit instead? He seemed to have tilted his head just as it happened.

Not British but... Beryl turned into a Cat 5 hurricane overnight, the earliest in recorded history. Jamaica in its path.

Excellent
The Reform Club 1841, designed by Charles Barry (of Houses of Parliament fame) to closely resemble the Palazzo Farnese in Rome.
Amongst other things, it is the fictional start and end of Phileas Fogg's challenge to go round the world in 80 days. When Michael Palin attempted it in real life in 1988, he completed it in 79 days and 7 hours only to be refused entry on his return.
Too scruffy, smelly, not wearing a tie? Who knows, but I very much doubt I would ever be allowed in either.

The orange cornflour we used will soon wash away with the rain
Yes, cornflour apparently

Old: Pall Mall Deposit, former furniture storage on Barlby Road (Ladbroke Grove area). I never knew about the Italian connection to the name Pall Mall.
New: (borrowing from Italy again, architecturally speaking)
Clue: beat 80 days

The film was 1964, the tower opened 1972.
It has been used in plenty of films though, could have been a different film perhaps?

5.30 in this recent vid explains the connection between the two. Not what you might expect.

I'm still waiting for the sticker (since 3rd June) but, I think this bit of the email says that I'm still ok to go if I have the attached pdf confirmation. That email took about 2 days to come through.
Might be worth checking if that is indeed the case. -

Ticks. Watch out for these pesky little parasites when out and about this summer if you're straying off the beaten path. To avoid them, the best advice is wear full length trousers or carry tick tweezers if you insist on shorts. Don't be tempted by any 'burn them' or 'drown them in oil' removal remedies either. Anything like that raises the chance of them vomiting and giving you Lyme disease if they are infected.
I had two last week down in deepest rural Devon and made the mistake of dowsing one in oil as that was what some Italian friends suggested the last time I had one 20 odd years ago (in Italy). The nurse removing it made it perfectly clear I shouldn't have done that.

I had great plans to do this last weekend early one morning before parenting duties but sadly had a shocking night's sleep. I even bought a 20th century poetry book on the strength of this tag!

Not British weather, but there have been some pretty ferocious storms across the US in the last few days, including this multi vortex tornado in Iowa yesterday evening.
