When parallel parking, is reverse easier? Can this be extended to non-parallel parking?

Edit: haven’t driven a car for 10 years but I am ready to bet it hasn’t changed much

I need to fix some plastic piping, and I fervently hope that imperial measurement horseshit will now be dropped:

rear commuting light with a clip

I have had a Moon Nebula on mine for ages, works well. Charging cable is a weird yellow power-only mini USB.

ATtiny85 [mouse jiggler]

Cheers for that, my new “mouse” works like a champ. I might make another halloween sketch that does haunted computer shenanigans

Something sticking through & poking out a bit might help prevent rotation

Perhaps search for USB conference speakers? they’ll be ~£75—100 though, and be barely adequate for music.

Edit: Newham Council.

Like all these sets of rules it’s a palimpsest of sensible precautions/risk reduction, countermeasures vs specific piss-takers from the past and authoritarian knob-ends (including council functionaries with their own motivations) taking liberties. Making at least polite acquaintance with the committee can grease a lot of the wheels. I’ve been on an allotment committee before, and it’s just plain weird.

[Granny] should win the race and, as [she] crossed the finishing line, [her finances] should collapse in a heap of bits. If [her finances] didn't do that, [they were] built too strongly

Inheritance tax should be 100%; spend it all for the race, live laugh love

There have been some studies of titanium & stainless steel surgical implants which say it’s not really much of a problem.

Bees and rabbits are kosher, fires are not, except for Nov 5th. Buildings must be no bigger than 6’ in any dimension. Nothing planted that will not yield produce within 1 year (! No fruit bushes?), no trees directly into the soil—pots are OK. Etc etc etc.

You’re right about talking to the committee; having said that, the chair of ours gave my wife this sturdy squash which I think might be fighting talk.

Willow is a weed, take it out without prejudice.

How big is your plot?

Approx 25×5m ie half widthwise of an old school plot. The bit at the back is riddled with old carpet, nettles and bindweed so that’s not really useable, will be toad refuge

Who is the deputy PM today?

Deputy PM and giant, trundling, cigar-chomping colicky baby Thérèse Coffey was found incapable of answering 18 different questions about govt policy in just 3 minutes
She did, however, find time to reportedly scrap anti-smoking plans. She’s the health minister
And then, in words that neatly explain the entire mindset of this govt, she told Radio 4 that “Poor people are richer than you think”

“Transform the prosperity of this country for generations to come”, eh? Mission accomplished, I reckon.
