Why use Mercator's projection @BBCNews? It massively exaggerates the size of Greenland.

This is the view of Pitt Down I have enjoyed many times. Sadly unable to for a while. In hospital with high infection markers and, till recently, temperature spikes. Antibiotics including antifungal. This could be the pattern of my life from now on: infection scares.

So sad to see that the cartoonist McLachlan has died. Even his people make me laugh. I don't think his ability to amuse has been surpassed. Thanks for the selection in the latest Eye, and I have your commemorative volumes to enjoy.

It took me about three months in 1997, after leafleting for @UKLabour, to become disillusioned. 27 years later, after a similar lapse of time, disillusion is not the case. Active dislike is my feeling, especially for some senior figures. This time there is no Robin Cook for hope.

Never too late to be better informed, @mrjamesob. I guessed this would be in the top titles rack in WHS branch at Southampton hospital. I grabbed a copy, started reading. Feeling better already😉.

So disappointed and dismayed. How will you feel stepping out now.
My son just bought some smart clothes for teaching practice, partly money from working shifts in a pub.

I'll visit X occasionally but not engage with folk I disagree with, or follow back young women with no shared interests with a man old enough to be their father.
I am making a good recovery from respiratory failure and ICU. I have resolved to ignore bots etc.
Thanks to @UHSFT.

I've avoided X recently, for mental health reasons partly. It can be depressing. Sorry if I've not acknowledged likes or constructive replies. One week in hospital for a chest infection and now cellulitis. Too much, and I hate single-digit typing.

One correction I could make to this fascinating report is that gabbro is a rock not a mineral.
