  • In the article it says the frames were melted by heat from the lights.

  • From the photo it looks like the inner window panes were still intact. That would be enough to keep the plane pressurised, I'm guessing. For a while at least.

  • Work is fulfilling and fun šŸ™ƒ
  • making my work look beautiful

    The plumber who did work in my kitchen made a fantastic job of the under-sink pipework. Everything curved and lined up just so, little screw valves instead of clunky taps, it's lovely. It's hidden away behind cleaning products, but I know it's there and it makes me smile. Thank you to tradespeople who enjoy their work!

  • What is the best thing that could happen to you this week?
  • A decent time in Saturday's race. Not a medal of anything, just nothing too embarrassing.

  • Louis Rossman is right
  • I freely admit to being that sucker. In a weak moment during a Covid lockdown I bought an iPad Pro. Worst purchase ever. It's too heavy to use comfortably, the battery life is shit and the paucity of apps compared with my Android phone is ridiculous. Worst of all, it died suddenly less than 18 months after I bought it. It was replaced under consumer laws here, but still. I feel like an idiot for having bought it.

    The only other Apple product I own is a 160GB iPod Classic, bought in 2007 and still going strong. Sturdy, good battery life, small size, decent interface, room for all my music. So of course it's no longer produced or supported.

  • I'm old. My hearing aids have Bluetooth. Brilliant sound, better than any headphones/earbuds I've ever had. They wee reeeeeallly expensive though.

  • My Father In Lawā€™s Deathbed confession ā€“ what can I do to help?
  • You mentioned the missing persons reports being mainly children... maybe you'd get more traction from Operation Hydrant, which took over the Yewtree investigations.

    Or maybe cook up a story about some old king being buried there.

  • We visited the Falkirk Wheel last month! It lifts 500 tonnes 80ft into the air using only 1.5KWh of power (it's actually energy Nā€¢m/s).
  • Three designs too - 19th century cantilever, 20th suspension, 21st cable-stayed. Also, the Forth Bridge is a UNESCO world heritage site. We love our bridges!
