    Ofcom investigation into X

    I hadn't been on X for ages, since I migrated to blue sky. The other day I logged on to delete my account and the first tweet, at the top of my timeline was Elon Musk saying that UK were cancelling free speech, then two pictures of Starmer in a bikini.

    Club nicknames

    I once read, many years ago, that Nottingham Forest are named after the city and County after the county. Counties habitually get abbreviated (Leics, Worcs etc) whereas cities don't. Hence, Nottingham Forest but Notts County.

    Plans abandoned for compulsory digital ID cards

    I’m not denying that ID already exists. The issue isn’t having ID, it’s creating a single, state-run digital identity that links multiple aspects of life.Today, ID is fragmented with different documents for different purposes: passports for travel, driving licence for driving etc, none of which...

    Plans abandoned for compulsory digital ID cards

    Come on Lodger, that's a false equivalence. The difference is consent and control. Using the internet is a choice with multiple providers; a government digital ID would be mandatory and centralised. That changes the risk entirely, especially when future governments can’t be assumed to act in...

    Plans abandoned for compulsory digital ID cards

    I understand the argument that if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear, but my fear is that there would be nothing to stop a future government from selling all our details to a foreign agency. US insurance companies and healthcare providers are already sniffing around our health...

    Will the World Cup go ahead?

    I don't believe that's necessarily so. The WC and the Olympics are global events that attract supporters and participants from around the world. Many of these countries will be on Trump's list of hostile or targeted states.

    Greek Restaurants

    It may not be the kind of place you're looking for, but Greek Mezataverna on Linthorpe Rd gets really good reviews - 4.7 - on Tripadvisor. Some reviewers mention that the outside looks a little intimidating, with tables of men drinking coffee and smoking, but once inside it is cosy, friendly and...

    Do you eat offal?

    A mate of mine went to Spain for the first time a while ago and decided to do the whole cultural experience properly. Sightseeing, wine, and even a bullfight. After the fight, he wandered into a small local restaurant near the arena. It was clearly not a tourist place, but when the owner...
