I quite liked the Deep Space Nine revisit of this, especially the way they encorporated their characters into the original scenes

Exactly.
And every. single. one of those countries - and many, many more which I CBA to mention - are equally a 'lying cheating mass murdering POS country' which 'deserves all the hellish revenge the world can inflict on it'.
But vanishingly-few of them got it, did they?
And none of us like hearing that OUR countries are lying cheating mass-murdering POS countries, do we? Nor do we like hearing that revenge is going to be inflicted upon ourselves and our loved ones, for something perpetrated by others and that we felt we had, or in actuality had, no choice and/or played no part in.

we all play a guilty role, including staying silent

Weather looks reasonable.10k ride to work soon. Blue skies and I'll barely touch a road.

I took my recycling down yesterday but the big council bins were overflowing so I put it in the car.

Which car ? Yours ?

 

[postman]

Wonder if he saw you?

No I have been in Nottingham since Sunday night.At the moment I am on a puff puff,coming home to Leeds.The prostate procedure has been a total success.I can hold on for more than two hours,then boy I could have put out the Great Fire of London all by myself.Still resting for two more weeks with the approval of Mrs P,all is really well.

Which car ? Yours ?

All the others were locked, so yes.
I've just been down to do my ONS swab and antibody tests so I know that the council have not been and taken the recycling away. It looks like my share is going to sit in the back of the car for another day.
Loads of blood today. That makes up for not enough last month.
As it's turning into a vaguely medical day, I might walk into Deptford and collect my prescription.

Good to hear it's been successful, and you're better in yourself.

Wait while the train gets up to speed!*, and listen to what they're saying, We'll never go back, we'll never go back".

*I realise "speed" on trains round here is relative, in which case you may hear some other message.

Going to miss Nottingham,full cooked breakfast three mornings.Plus the continental bit.Filled myself up each morning meant we did not need lunch.It has been great meeting up with church friends.Back again next year,and we have promised the Youth Pastor we will treat him to two breakfasts as his accommodation is just cereal and toast,and he is a growing lad.It has been a bit of good banter between us.

I had a dark room many years ago. I used a Meopta Opemus 3 as the main tool in it.

I have a Russian enlarger - barely been used. Was fascinated by a friend's father developing prints & watching the image gradually appear.

In my early days I used the bathroom as a darkroom and washed the prints in the bath. On Mull I found an extensive range of wildlife in the bath when I had finished. The filtration system for the main water supply clearly did not work too well.

When you only have one loo & it's in the bathroom - four in the household - the bathroom becomes less tenable.

To be fair I'd wear ear protection in places where the radio is playing if I could get away with it...

I recall my days working in a teleprinter workshop in the 70s when the noise of the machine was preferable.

It was surprising how long it took them to find the unbared wire in the mains plug.
