I thought this was a commonly known word. I used it yesterday, and two work colleagues asked me what it meant. So, here we are. π

They are only good when made into chutney. -

"I, Claudius" is superb. The sets are rubbish; script and acting not to be missed. -

I've not seen the TV series, but, if they are using Shakespeare's original text, then most native English speakers will also find the dialogue difficult to follow. -

Probably Patrick Stewart. No doubt he was trading on his fame as the Jean-Luc Picard character, however, he was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company long before his StarTrek career. π -

Actually, wakes in the Highlands are often the best social occasions. -

You'd lose the signal once the coffin went below ground. -
Fitheach (fitheach@mstdn.io)'s status on Saturday, 09-Apr-2022 14:14:53 UTC Fitheach Another day, another funeral.
When you live in a small community everyone knows everyone else. One knows a lot of people. Consequently, attending funerals is a regular obligation.
This time it was a Church of Scotland service (Protestant). For the first time, in my experience, the service was streamed live, and there was a big screen relaying the proceedings to the back of the church.
I was hoping for some slow-mo shots and action replays, but, not to be.

Used to be quite common, it is now getting too warm: -

Congratulations to @pandora for guessing correctly.It is an outdoor ice rink with three sheets, for public use. There is a spicket which is used to flood the area with water. Obviously, a cold (freezing) day is required to form the required ice. On the day the photo was taken it was too mild.

Each strip is about 5m wide, and 45 metres long. The strips are bordered with rectangular stones, and are lined with tarmac.

The evaluation of whether it is "only a social network" depends on the outlook of the user. I consider my presence here to have some real-life value. It is, dare I say it, a bit like a brand. My Fedi identity is more than just the Follows and Followers, it is ideas, and emotions, expressed over many years. -

Does it count if you no longer exist at the other place?There is a semi-serious point to be resolved about people's online identity and instance itinerancy.

Will we soon be brandishing our Fedi join dates, in much the same way as Slashdotters do with their low user IDs?
