Sue - it's not by SteveO - it's by Ernest Hemingway. It's was his response to a challenge and is incredible. The fact it might invoke emotion in others is sort of the point.

Exactly, and how the reader's mind 'sees' things. Wiki cites an example where an unwanted pram is advertised for sale, then it turns out that, unexpectedly, twins were born, hence no need for the previously bought single pram...

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By vladi · Posted

      Reeves and Truss have both displayed incompetence. The former can also  be  accused of dishonesty and misrepresentation. However, this all pales into insignificance in comparison to the utter incompetence and stupidity shown by David Lammy.  He accused Donald Trump of being "a woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath" and a "tyrant in a toupee" plus a "racist KKK and Nazi sympathiser" To make matters worse, Lammy's first decision as Foreign Secretary was to hand over sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. The Chagos is home to the large American airbase that is strategically located in the Pacific and a priceless bulwark against Chinese expansion in the region. There will be a price to pay as Trump in not one to forgive and forget. In reality he is renowned for his retribution on his critics and opponents. For that reason, it would not be surprising if Lammy and Reeves were disposed of in the first cabinet reshuffle.

      Had to take a second look!

      From the sign. Turn left up Peckham Rye, turn right onto Barry Road, straight across at the lights onto Eynella Road which leads you to Court Lane and Dulwich Park. You could turn right here and Dulwich Village is at the end of Court Lane. Of course you could stand by the sign and be “Now here or Nowhere”

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      I know nothing about farming so can't really comment but when I read things like this interesting thread from Guy Shrubsole I am increasingly cynical about those making the loudest noise.  And yes it is a genuine link.
