I believe it is canon that at least one of the Chief Engineers was Welsh. I think it was in the season of Discovery where they introduced Pike. We only ever heard her voice (briefly) over the comms. Memory is hazy over which ship she was engineer to. Had the impression it was Enterprise.

 

Finally a Scotty who is actually Scottish. Fae Paisley.

I read something, I forget where, about rowan berries having a toxin that's bad for the kidneys. It may have meant just the raw ones. Would have to look it up in a decent foraging book though. The amount of "A.I." generated misinformation that's about now is horrendous.

All of the above. Went swimming the day before though. Cold undercurrent was a bit startling but probably needed. That day was roasting too.

I remember going to one of the live shows. Not well. This news triggered a piece of memory I'd almost forgotten. RIP Big Man.

Farewell to a legend of my childhood. And a generally good guy, from all reports.

Maybe I'm being cynical but, the sport of the two chosen to be denied a pint brings questions of classism to mind.

Adding back the tree cover will definitely help.

On a much smaller scale you can see how quickly pollenators bounce back in your own garden if you let even a small area grow wild. Good for the whole garden.

 

The Government seeks to make sure no-one falls below the poverty line again. UKGov could stand to learn from this.

Asks for Glasgow-based Scots to take part in an eye-tracking language study. 1 hour/£15. Sign-up sheet link in their post.

 

In another dodgy move environmentally, Scottish Greenbelt land continues to be under threat from "developers".

There are a tonne of places that could really do with redevelopment. But presumably it's cheaper just to forget them and smash what little green space is left within walking distance of most folk.

Raging.

 

If you've an interest in developing video games some of the events are free I believe.
