I recommend Radio Caroline and Radio Caroline Flashback (the latter for those like me, of a certain age) - both freely available on the internet and via your "Digital Speaker". Caroline Continues.

Agreed! Very undervalued IMO.

The temperature on my patio this morning at about 11:00, according to the thermometer on my pergola, was 100 degrees. Admittedly outdoors, admittedly in full sun.

Genius! He'll be missed.

The FBI has raided Trumps house at Mar a Lago. Good.

Yes. Absolutely Yes. There must be a consequence to people who make money or fame from other people's misery.

Python is what they teach 14+ year olds in Secondary Schools around here - which presumably gives evidence to its "easiness" but also its widespread professional use??

Absolutely this. I've seen the reality of this at "a major international airline", " a major UK based energy company", " a smaller UK Building Society" ..... there must still be others.

I'm happily retired after a 40+ year career in "DP" / "IT" (mostly on the operations/management/sales sides) so I've seen a lot of (impressive) change and progress in that time. One thing that has always stuck in my mind is that when "PL1" was released, it was reported that the company (IBM I...

Is a raffle a competition?

I got my plugs from hayloft-plants.co.uk

About 20 plus years ago I bought a gardening magazine that had 12 Allium bulbs attached to the front cover. I now have thousands of Alliums that come up every years for me to dig up and dispose of - and apart from the sackfull of dug-up bulbs that are currently awaiting transportation to the...

Thanks, that's very helpful. They're native biennials and i'm trying to establish a colony in the shadier back areas of my garden. I've removed some of the denser (silver birch) shade, and reduced the beech hedge, and have had some success earlier this year already - also with Teasels. My...

When I went to the Saturday morning pictures in the local scout hut in the mid 1960's the bloke used to undercut the sweet shops by selling black jacks at 5 for 1p. Anyone under the age of 40 won't understand any of that sentence.

So earlier this year I bought 3 dozen various Foxglove plug plants, each of which (tbh I've lost 2) has grown nicely and now been potted on into 3 inch pots and developing nicely in my shed-cum-greenhouse. I guess I need to move them outside for a couple of months (to adopt and harden off a...
