One of our neighbours died. She was 102 and had been ill for a while. My wife was one of the last people to speak to her. She was just fed up with being ill for the last few years and her body just shutting down, she said she was ready to go. Up until a couple of months ago she was still pretty mobile as well. Still sad though.

Not an unpopular opinion here. I'd go as far as to include fishing just for the catch/photo/competition and horse riding, and most certainly horse racing.

Coming from UK, reading these headline and can't help thinking that another IRA have raised their heads again.

'only 300Mbps'

Cries in 45Mbps

Use it daily - phone set to turn on VPN when I leave home. Occasionally use it indoors. No probs - not much difference in speed.
Can use default (fastest) server or take you pick from quite a few choices - again not much speed difference.

YMMV

Or you could taunt it a second time.

Loads of the buggers here in Ware/Hertford over the last couple of years.

I'd never seen one until a few years ago, now see them daily.

It's from a shop in Germany and the product is called Black Forest Tofu, shouldn't it be Schwarzwald Tofu?

I thought Taifun was a German company as well.

Government should not be using it whatsoever and any employees using it face disciplinary action.

Radio Paradise have a few streams. Personal favourites are the Rock Mix and for lounging around, reading etc. the Mellow Mix. If you want something a little different then the Global Mix might suit you.
For general day to day listening then the Main Mix covers just about everything. For me personally, I find there's too much Beatles and Reggae. I can't stand them. But YMMV.

Although Spotify has some excellent prog playlists, that sodding AI thing pisses me right off (although there may be a way to get rid of that, I've got to try it out) I have Amazon Prime so their music service is a bit of a no brainer as it's cheaper. Not sure if I can tell the difference in audio quality. At 67 and a lifetime of British Army (I was in the Artillery man, play it LOUD!) and working with rock bands, my ears are probably not up to the finer points.
For rock and prog 24/7 then Morow is your friend.

Glad it's not just me ;-)

Upvote for the use of the word turgid.

But yes it is. I found that to be the case with the Foundation series as well. I read them when I was younger - perhaps I skimmed them, or I'm just getting picky as I get older.
