I noticed milk in New York had a sell by date which was five days earlier than if it was sold in adjacent States. Couldn't really take it seriously after that

It was estimated that barely 10% of the Nazis who committed atrocities during the holocaust were ever brought to justice. It would be nice to think that the figure for Russians brought to justice after committing war crimes will be higher with more video and photographic evidence gathered by...

I saw it once on an internal flight in the States. There was an air marshal on board so it was sorted out pretty quickly, these guys don't screw around. When we landed the NYPD were waiting to escort him off the plane.

The 3 Mile Island documentary isn't bad, if a bit lengthy. Having seen the various documentaries about Chernobyl it interested me. Although the TMI accident was not in the same league in terms of radiation released and the amount of people evacuated there were a lot of similarities. The hubris...

You should be very proud of where you are now. It seems to me that many times people can experience mental health issues because of events and circumstances which are entirely beyond their control. Just a run of very bad luck if you like, something which could happen to any one of us...

They seem to be offering a lot of interviews and labelling them as "exclusive", new insights blah, blah, blah on serial killers, Marilyn Monroe etc. when most of the time it is just re-hashing information which is in the public domain. Their standards do seem to be slipping

The Giants have certainly made questionable draft decisions in the past. But I think new GM Joe Schoen has done OK on his first draft having landed Oregon pass-rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux at No. 5 and then Alabama offensive lineman Evan Neal at No. 7. Could this be a turning point for Big Blue

Shoreham Wordfest showed excellent timing producing their annual celebration of Shakespeare today

George Carlin takes some beating

BBC, Guardian and New York Times. Not a great fan of CNN, prefer MSNBC. Found CNN increasingly biased in it's political reporting, seems more about the reporter than the news with people like former presenter Chris Cuomo who had his own agenda

He's only got to hang on another 7 weeks for Brenda's platinum jubilee celebrations and the country will be awash with bunting, flags and rose tinted nostalgia

The NFL draft is only a few weeks a way and Guardian Sport looks at 5 prospects. Daniel Faalele from Melbourne looks interesting at 6'9" and 387 lb https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/apr/13/daniel-faalele-matt-araiza-nfl-draft-2022-prospects

I really liked Hotel Zanzibar. Based on Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors it had a very light touch compared to some of the much darker episodes. The rhyming couplets must have taken some working out and the delivery by the cast was top notch

If you've done the paperwork it's pretty much a formality. Mine was a 2 stage interview - first bit was to hand over the documents which they checked then returned to me then called up for a face to face interview which was pretty brief. Next was to go and pay the cashier any outstanding...

It is shameful so many Nazi war criminals avoided prosecution. British historian Mary Fulbrook wrote in her recent book “Reckonings: Legacies of Nazi Persecution and the Quest for Justice” “Of those perpetrators actually brought to court in the Federal Republic of Germany before the end of the...

I completely agree. But the death sentence does not always mean the death sentence, or at least not straight away. This site has some interesting figures https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/death-row/death-row-time-on-death-row In 2018 the average time between sentencing and execution was 243...

This is more or less what happened in New York. It was legalized recently and prior to that you could smell it everywhere. I remember skiing in Colorado where it had been legal for some time and there was a chain of weed stores called The Green Dragon. A few of us went in to have a look. Just...

Fenway Park is definitely worth a visit, the oldest MLB ballpark still in use and Boston is a great city to explore. Both the original stadiums in NYC (Shea and Yankee) have been replaced, the new Yankee Stadium felt really soulless to me but like Citifield. Agree that watching live is way...

The Old Star - Shoreham. Proper old style pub, basic but welcoming, a real gem And for a lazy Saturday or Sunday can't beat the Hanover pubs - Constant Service, The Greys and Sir Charles Napier
