I've checked and ours is on the public-facing pages of our website, not the intranet, so you should be able to download the pdf (some of the links in the document may be internal only, though):

As I was brushing my teeth this morning, I thought "I must wish Frances a happy birthday" - and then promptly forgot π€¦ββοΈ.
So while there's still an hour and a half of the day left: Happy Birthday! π
It sounds like the conference was a very good occasion, and I'm glad you had a fruitful day.

It was a 1990s advert for 2020s technology - and not in a good way in either respect.

The second photo makes it look like he's wearing his suit shoes, which also adds a certain something.

Somewhat reminds me of the duck which my aunt knitted for me when I was a baby: something went wrong with the stuffing, and that combined with the look it had from how she'd sewed the eyes resulted in my dad naming it Vernon the Violent Duck.
(I think Vernon may be in a box in my parents' loft ...)

Same - I moved to Radio 3 at breakfast time years ago, and then for the whole day during Covid.
Mind you, I do miss the pips ...

Not to worry, @jabberkate.bsky.social's response provided the answer. At least +Manchester isn't going until next year, though ...

The Power of Poetry
Β
with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,
Β
it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,
Β
so he reached for his copy Β
of The Complete Works of Yeats
Β
and bludgeoned the President
of the United States
Brian Bilston
Hereβs a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.
