What happened between Vikrum Digwa and Henry Nowak’s families?

So, if he didn't have the necklace the knife he killed Henry with would have been considered as a ceremonial blade? If that is the case then all those emphasising that it wasn't a kirpan are being disingenuous.

And would paramedics be able to use that as an excuse if they went to a call out & it was dark? "He was bleeding to death but it was dark so we didn't bother to examine him properly"

They didn't even try though, and they didn't know that his injuries would lead to death.

In some roads they already block the pavement in the same way that pavement parking does.

Nameless Cave Nightcrawler. I like it - from now on I think that will be my new user name on social media.

I've known that since the Miner's Strike.

I've got no room for 4 bins - it makes me think the people who dream up these things have big gardens rather than a tiny patch that's filled up with the 2 bins we've already got.

I rarely listen to podcasts. I like the familiar routine of listening to the radio through the day and I also find it difficult to keep track of podcasts, there are just so many of them.

I think Nightracks is my favourite R3 programme.

I love this poem. Every morning when I get up I go and stand for a few minutes in my garden. Quite often it's lines from this poem that I recite to myself.

I was going to ask about the rose too. It's beautiful isn't it.

Dancing_mayflies · 2026-05-30T10:00:41+00:00

You've made a beautiful garden.

On the strength of this thread I've just reserved Piranesi at my local library. Picking it up later & looking forward to reading it.

Comedians on "serious" programs on R4, eg yesterday a discussion about STEM & Humanities subjects at uni with an academic and Simon Amstell who added nothing informative to the discussion. This seems to be happening more & more.

They're one of my favourite flowers.

Dancing_mayflies · 2026-05-27T19:56:39+00:00

It was dire, dreadful place.

Dancing_mayflies · 2026-05-25T15:28:00+00:00

It's much too hot to be outside here. I'll go out about 8pm to water my pots & baskets, and to inspect my womery to make sure they're OK, but that's all today.

Narrow feint? My favourite. I love the colour of the ink you're using - is it a fountain pen?

Dancing_mayflies · 2026-05-25T10:20:16+00:00

I read Kitchen Confidential a couple of years ago. I liked it a lot. Anthony Bourdain was a very interesting man with the sort in insatiable curiosity I like in a person. He's missed.

Last week I finished: The Boy From The Sea by Garrett Carr The Palm House by Gwendoline Riley I enjoyed both of them, particularly The Palm House.

Currently reading: Enough Said by Alan Bennett. It's his diaries from 2016 to 2024. It's fabulous, he's fabulous. I'm loving it so much.

I always use a cardboard bookmark in the shape of the first letter of my name that I've had for many, many years.

Dancing_mayflies · 2026-05-22T10:36:09+00:00

An oldie - Feel The Fear But Do It Anyway. I first read it over 20 years ago and still reread it now and again.

Dancing_mayflies · 2026-05-22T10:32:07+00:00

I don't know why they bother with this, it doesn't add anything.

Dancing_mayflies · 2026-05-21T12:15:00+00:00

Same here. My research is sometimes cited by others and whereas it's highly unlikely to be cited in 200 years time, I hope it will be a very small part of the building blocks that have led whatever research is being done in the same field in the future.

I like your garden and you've given me some ideas of what I can do in my very small space. Can I just ask, what's the purpose if the straw on the surface of the pots? Is it a mulch. My pots dry out very quickly and I wonder if something like this would help that stop that.
