St. William of Bragg is still going...

Minoura make one, but it's really fiddly to fit. I'd go with one of the sort that attaches to the saddle rails.

We have a car in London - it's a relic from when t'missus lived in rural Scotland. About the only time it gets used is when we're visiting the folks in Cornwall/Scotland or going to the (now-defunct) Yohan plaza.

That having been said - petrol is still far too cheap. Consider - it's a product that takes millions of years to make, plus a complex refining process, before being shipped in from some of the most inhospitable parts of the world.

Absinthe was never prohibited under UK law.

But it was in France, where Ricard used to make absinthe and now pastis.

Sir Peter Maxwell Davies is awesome:

"I had to give a statement. I offered them coffee and asked them if they would like to try some swan terrine but I think they were rather horrified. That was a mistake, wasn't it?"

This other news just in: Pope to shit in woods: Bears might be Catholic.
