At the Vasa museum, Stockholm. If you want more pictures of the ship and decorations, I blogged it because it is a mighty museum.

Useful post on the UCL Constitution Unit's blog about the current situation in Northern Ireland.

Having Sinn Fein as the largest party after the May election, meaning they get to be First Minister, would be as fascinating a development as the Ian Paisley/Martin McGuiness love-in of a decade ago.

Appreciate the live blog, Sat, but any chance of spoiler Tagging it?

Hello all. For sake of blog content and organise my own thoughts as a weather nerd I thought I'd post this ramble about a developing situation in the US. This one is Hurricane Ida, which for a while looked to be a potential Katrina part II. It's a bad hurricane and there's a long way to go before la...

The Olympics first came up with rules for this stuff 20 years ago. They have access to better experts than some twat down the pub, and have revised the rules a couple of times since.

Beezats3.jpg Those of you passing water into a bottle from the soft vibrating comfort of the trucker's driver's seat may have noticed the tempting road signs pointing to American Truck Simulator: Open Beta 1.40. It was released a couple of days ago and it features a vast expansion on the customisab...

I’m rewatching DS9 at the moment. It’s still brilliant.
There is a lot of it, but you can trim that down quite a bit.

Whilst I'm thinking about the Union today, it's worth noting that the Constitution Unit at UCL have just released their report on how a border poll in Northern Ireland could happen and how it should be organised, if you fancy a preview of a future season. Will probably peruse it as my leisure in tim...

Thanks Malc.

This is one of those things that might appear minor in the grand scheme of things but consistent misjudgements like this make it easier for backbench grumbles to turn into something more troubling for a PM. We're still, after all, in the early days of this Parliament. Chair of ISC is an easy post to...

We watched Knives Out (I had about 8 quid credit from Google for doing surveys, so figured I could buy it) Really enjoyed it. Based on the posters, I thought it would be "period", but the period os present day. Very well made, well written and well acted silly film. It was like Clue for th...

Do you want it as a blog, vlog, or youtube?

So pretty much the same as the PS4 reveal.

Not wanting to be facetious at all, but does one need to watch any star trek before this? I've watched none (apart from the weird bit with whales 30 years ago) Yes, but you definitely don’t need to watch all of it. This is a pretty good abbreviated viewing guide. https://medium.com/maxistentialism-...

Good thinking for clickbait! My next blog post title could be, "He couldn't shoot upskirts! Cardiff / *Your Town* laughs at hapless pornographer."

Another Constitution Unit blog post , on the hard truths surrounding any border poll in Northern Ireland. A poll now would be a leap into the void – likely to lead not to early unity but to chaos, because no one has worked out either the route to a United Ireland, or a plan for what that would look ...

Heh, yes I've heard their argument that the assent is only on the advice of ministers so could be withheld. I'm not sure on this but haven't really read up on that - my instinct is that assent is a personal power done by the Crown as the one person third chamber of the "Crown in Parliament"...

Here's a piece on the Consitution Unit's blog about how the 'narrative' of devolution has changed in the twenty years since the first Holyrood elections. Broadly speaking, the ‘story’ of devolution in Scotland was owned, at first, by the Scottish Labour Party from the 1980s until the early 2000s, be...
