UK court orders Prince Harry, Elton John and others to pay £9.5 million to 'Daily Mail' tabloid in c/world@quokk.au
[–] 2 points 3 days ago

I wonder if he’ll get the £9.5 mil from Netflix and a book deal. For someone that doesn’t want publicity and wants a life of privacy, it seems a bit ironic for him and his camera seeking wife to move back to UK. The media are all over it like flies on shit.

I’m certainly not supporting ANL etc. I’d love to see them go under, and think the court should have ruled punitive charges of a tenner. This’ll just give them free reign to start again. And they have before he’s even here. Surely he knew that would happen?

    Anyone refusing treatment from a non-white nurse/doctor healthcare person should have a marker set against their name.

    Let them be treated by a white person, when they are available, and, they have to pay the full cost of that treatment like they would if they went private.

    Make your mind up! (www.bbc.co.uk)
     

    From the same article:

    'The UK could see a return of 30C heat just in time for the coming bank holiday Monday - as what is expected to be among the hottest summers on record continues.

    And

    Weather over the weekend will be largely dry and cloudy, with temperatures expected to peak at 24C on Sunday.'

    Make your sodding mind up!

    Small bird rescue (beehaw.org)
     

    So yesterday I rescued a young Robin that caught its leg in our garden feeder. All OK.

    Yesterday evening I went to the kitchen to start dinner and there was a sparrow flapping about by the kitchen window. The kitchen door next to window was wide open, but our cat Daisy was prowling round so that probably stopped the sparrow from flying out. Managed to get hold of it and it too was uninjured. Off that went as well.

    Don’t think Daisy had caught it as she is too slow. So much that that she either ignores the birds (apart from making funny noises at pigeons and magpies), or they stay out of her reach.

    Wonder what animal rescue I have today.

    How do I make my bread really dark? (beehaw.org)
     

    Am trying to make a dark rye loaf like you'd find on a stall or in a shop. Not the really dense 'pumpernickel' style but round or oblong tin shaped.

    Have tried various percentages of strong dark rye, muscovado sugar and black treacle but the loaf is still not that dark. I did try some cocoa in one loaf but that just gave an odd colour.

    Am using a Panasonic bread machine and in over 5 years it's only ever produced a couple of duff loaves - which were down to me (forgetting yeast, mixer blade or water) and often use it for the dough function and then finish in oven. Am not averse to resorting to full manual though if needed.

    Any ideas?

    TIA
