It's so easy! Just say you support it, you hope that your rep supports it, and you'll be keeping a watchful eye on the proceedings.

"Potential health risk of slowing down" wut? Slowing down is not stopping; it's doing different (fun, desired, intentional) stuff and getting enough sleep.

Or you could try powder's constituents: baking soda and cream of tartar (tartaric acid) mixed 1:2. They each have a longer shelf life than powder but even soda has a decline and expiration. Not sure about the expiration of tartar. I obviously enjoy kitchen chemistry.

If some fresh baking powder had been added, it probably would have risen. Not sure how the other old ingredients would have tasted.

It's inevitable that Hookland with its twitching phantom limb tracks, haunted halts and spectral steam engines would have dedicated ghost train spotters. All packed lunches, flasks of tea and notebooks ready for the passing of the doomed 17:50 to Ashcourt Docks. – #MattAdams

Government should function effectively in the background like white goods. But for the past years it's been like your fridge-freezer noisily demanding attention every 5 mins, switching off for hours at a time, fiddling its definition of 'cold', and eating your food then blaming the washing machine.

I think the omnipotent bit is a myth, in terms of one individual. But it sells well. The office of the presidency is a big group which has been expanding since George Washington.

Yes, it's a team, a group effort. Not one dude performing solo. Intent outweighs the number of naps needed.

Silents vs Talkies is back!

I compare the 1926 flapper film LOVE 'EM AND LEAVE 'EM with Evelyn Brent and Louise Brooks with its 1929 remake THE SATURDAY NIGHT KID with Clara Bow and Jean Arthur!

Department store drama! Sisterly rivalry! The Charleston!

My breaks are no longer than the length of a movie, or half a movie if I'm not thrilled with it.

One of the reasons I bought my rather old-ish house is that its shape was that of a winged corridor villa. That won't increase the Romano-British number, alas, as I live on the wrong landmass.
