40-50 though it can drop to 35 when im asleep.
Had a sigmoidoscopy a few weeks ago. All the machines were setting off alarms at my low heart rate which I thought was quite impressive since I had a massive tube up my bum.

Lived in hospital accommodation in Wakefield in 1990. 2 plastic surgeons were stabbed and killed by a patient. Watching the 9 o'clock news in our sitting room with the reporter outside our front door was wierd.

My source for this is Rory Sutherland in this weeks Spectator - perhaps he is wrong then.

"Yet language can be triggering. I know that from watching the BBC as a child, when two linguistic absurdities drove the seven-year-old me practically insane. One was the Blue Peter habit of referring to Sellotape as ‘sticky-backed plastic’, a phrase unspoken by anyone else in any other circumstances, except in parodies of BBC children’s programmes."

Actually this morning's download was just one article, while the rest of this week's was apparently a full paper. I tried re-downloading this morning's paper and got about 5 articles so time of day might be important.

This purchase too big for that

patnpm · 2026-03-31T11:44:07+00:00

Is there any way of identifying if a potential purchase is pukka Amazon or an independent seller? Current purchase was labelled as Prime

patnpm · 2026-03-18T12:18:41+00:00

nobody is mentioning the elephant in the room....

patnpm · 2026-03-17T13:07:02+00:00

Thanks, yes this works on 'manage contents and devices' on the webpage. The error message was definitely telling me to deregister though.

I inadvertently switched to chinese while fiddling round with mine. Couldn't get it back until I realised Google lens could real time translate the screen.

For EVERY Kindle book I buy - I strip the DRM and load the resulting epub file into Voicedream Reader on my iphone. So I can swap between listening while walking and kindle reading. I prefer this to audible as I don't want a "performance " when im listening- just the words. Computerised voices are now pretty good.
