If anyone has Netflix I would urge you to watch Society of the Snow, the new version of the story of the Andes 1972 flight that crashed into the mountain.
Told beautifully and with a gentleness and respect for those that didn't make it, it really is worth watching

WW3 is a durational impossibility, the timescale would only be in minutes or at the most hours.
It would be total geographic annihilation over most of the Northern Hemisphere,
caused by the interchange of huge nuclear weapons by Russia and the USA.

The map image shows the enormous area of damage caused by the impact of just a single Russian 25 Megaton Tsar Bomb if dropped on London.
An area within a 30 mile radius of the impact point would be annihilated and within a 10 mile radius would be vaporised in milliseconds.

Life in the current and future nuclear age is suspended on a tightrope of annihilation.

Earlier in the week Guinness World records turned down this large model of the Eiffel Tower made of headless matches, which to me seemed really strange, as a friend of mine routinely purchased and used this type of ‘match’ for model making over the years.
I am glad Guinness finally saw sense but it looks like this was only because the story made headlines.

Had a blow out with a radiator heater under a year old and electrician fixed the problem saying it is quite common now.
Next day I discovered that adjacent fixed double plug in wall is not working. My son-in-law had a look and established that there is power but when putting cover on nothing works. The items are now connected to other plugs in flat and all work. He says it is the first time he came across this problem. Any idea or help appreciated.
PS: I am astounded how much electricians now charge per hour.

Which are completely unfounded as Covid is no longer life threatening.
Soon, if you want a Covid booster vaccine, you will have to go to Superdrug and pay £100 for it.
Complete waste of money and highly risky having a vaccine with so many fatal side effects.

An investor has been following the steadily falling price of Oil and when he believes it has reached rock bottom he buys 10,000 barrels at 70p a barrel.
Sadly for him the price continues to fall and reaches 50p a barrel, so what is his smart move:-
1) Sell ASAP and cut his losses.
2) Hang on and hope/wait for the price to recover.
3) Any other,--specify.

It's the last day of the National Lottery today as run by Camelot.
I won £10 on the very first draw in November 1994, so going to buy £10s worth for tonight's final draw. Hopefully I might win at least a lucky dip.
Tomorrow a new company, Allwyn, takes over. Don't expect any changes for about a year, but they are reviewing the cost of a ticket, to reduce from £2 to £1.

And no claims of mental illness or previous convictions

Didn’t realise how serious this was taken in the UK

Looked it up after seeing it on David and Jays touring tool shed on the Iplayer

Think it’s on BBC 2’s episode 5 tomorrow (Friday) at 6.30pm

I’ve got a bit ahead with all episodes available on the Iplayer. It’s nice to see David Jason and hear of his interest in fixing all types of items. But it makes me scared of looking in the mirror seeing how much he has changed! He is a few years older than me I hasten to add 🙄

Back in 2016 there was a concern raised about these glasses not being of genuine assistance at all

https://www.aop.org.uk/ot/industry/high-street/2016/11/09/bbc-watchdog-investigates-blue-light

Again in 2021 it was revealed that they are useless

ROSENFIELD: Both of the studies actually found that the blue-blocking filters have no effect, no significant effect on digital eye strain. This didn't really come as a major surprise to us because there really is no mechanism whereby the blue light should be causing digital eye strain.21 Feb 2021

Then

CLEVELAND – If you've been thinking about buying some of those blue light glasses that claim to help with eye strain, you may want to hold off. Research shows they don't actually work.15 Dec 2023

Today on BBC it revealed how so many more shops/opticians are now promoting and selling them even though there is evidence to prove they are not needed, or of any use.

Have you bought them? Been convinced by the blurb on websites or by staff at Boots, Specsavers, VisionExpress,

It seems the DWP is to monitor the bank accounts of people claiming any benefit or State Pension.
