Late to this but congratulations! Giving birth on my husband's birthday is one of my greatest acheivements!
NATO Article V has been triggered only once: by the US after 9/11.
When our ally called, we in the UK didn't hesitate to stand with them.
636 British men & women paid the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan, with many more living with their injuries today.
I have British friends who served in Afghanistan and lost friends during their time there.
This is an appalling thing to say.
Indeed. They should show it again (unlikely I'd give birth if they did).
This was such a brilliant series - I wish the BBC would put it on the iPlayer. I've got the DVDs somewhere; I must watch it again. (The DVD box set is still available on Amazon, btw; I just checked.)
It's life affirming
It was incredible. Partly filmed at Islington Town Hall where ai worked and took the call "we're looking to film something based on the life of T Dan Smith". I also gave birth in the middle of each of the runs on TV in 96 and 97....

I know Handsworth well. I love it. The Soho Road is one of the most vibrant streets in the world. I was attached to the library there for a writing project last year and I wrote a whole chunk about it in my book Hope And Glory. Read it if you get a chance
In London, hate will never win.
One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.
It's such a joy to read

Oh no. Tom Lehrer gone. At his great age, itβs not a tragedy, I know, but it just does feel bad not having his genius in the world.

Frank Brangwyn was an apprentice to William Morris from 1882 to 1884 and, like Morris, thought an artist's mission was to paint life. He was a polymath painting murals, making prints and designing furniture, textiles, stained glass, and ceramics. 'The Swans,' is from 1921.
