Just call him "bro" or "bruv", depending which side of the Watford Gap he's on at the time.

The historian in me would *LOVE* to be able to read the Letters of Last Resort from each of the PMs. Are we taking bets on which are the most vengeful? (probably not much of a bet, tbh)

You can do *really* awful things and the Church will still protect you but if you refuse to submit and then speak out about it? Too far.

My understanding is that Reese-Moog has agreed to drop by with a selection of leeches, tinctures, poultices, and ointments to help rebalance her humours.

Same, but we didn't drink kool-aid but the discount brand, Freshie. (My wife also recalls stories of Freshie, but sweetened with aspartame tablets as it was cheaper than sugar) Litres of it.

Interesting that he specifies "atom bomb" rather than "nuclear bomb", implying the dominance of fission over fusion.

Nothing like waking up to an email from the archivist saying that they really don't know what's in the collection! Might have to hire a researcher for a couple of hours of work.

Not set yet, unfortunately. Need to have a chat with the archivists first and pre-screen what I'm hoping to look at. But since I've never been to CA, rather hoping it all comes together

Ironic that the UK is choosing to exercise democracy on July 4 this year, the same week that the US has decided (or had it decided for them) that democracy is no longer their thing.
