The EU has just announced an extension until 31st October with the option of a review for a 30th June exit.

The first prediction of a black hole was made in the 18th Century by the British astronomer John Michell who worked out that it was possible for an object to have an escape velocity greater than the speed of light. Michell thought the object could have a similar density to the Sun - but that can be forgiven, he was…

Mmm - you’re right. Mind you, styling was the least of the Princess’s issues.

Done - you can also have ‘ossified’ and ‘exsanguinous’.

Here’s the original 1968 sketch by Harris Mann for what was then called the ADO67 project. This was a clean-sheet design which was then hopelessly compromised by the decision to use the E-series engine that forced the bonnet to be much higher on the final Allegro.

People have been comparing Brexit to Titanic striking the iceberg, but I never thought it would be so literal. Still when the cameras were cut we were at least spared the sight of Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn re-enacting Rose and Jack’s final scene.

It’s hard to imagine a way to make Brits suffer more than they already are these days, but Sarah Palin bombarding their TV sets to whine about not being invited to a funeral is definitely a good start.

President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump aren’t just making out during lavish dinners at Mar-a-Lago; they’re allegedly having deep, stimulating conversation, too. For hours and hours and hours, in what sounds a lot like punishment.

The Maybot is stuck in a programming loop. Unless someone does a hard reset on Theresa May we’re doomed to repeat this forever.

Have a look at Icelandair - you can usually get some good deals stopping off in Keflavík en-route. Iceland has an enlightened visa policy, any stopover in Iceland can be for up to seven days and there is no premium on breaking your flight. The downside of Icelandair is that it is a narrow body fleet and you have to…

Definitely worth checking your travel insurance - look for ‘scheduled airline failure’ in the cover. A surprising number of policies, especially cheap travel policies do *not* have this coverage. If it isn’t there, you may also be able to claim against ‘travel disruption’ - again check.

Worth keeping an eye on Norwegian Air. They are under severe financial stress, in part because of their rapid expansion. They were hoping to be bought by IAG, the parent company of British Airways, and two offers were made by IAG; but on a valuation much lower than Norwegian wanted. BA sold their share in Norwegian…

Lots of reasons behind the collapse.

In an attempt to make you laugh - Mark Francois, the unbelievably self-important and incredibly stupid ERGer was talking about today’s ‘incredibly complex procedure’. For our American friends, MPs were asked to vote either Yes or No on eight questions. An ‘incredibly complex procedure’ which is less demanding than…

You’re right - Corbyn has no problem with people voting with May, he also imposed a three line whip to invoke Article 50 and when Labour MPs tried to amend a bill that would have prevented duties on imports after Brexit.

‘Just met with @SundarPichai, President of @Google, who is obviously doing quite well. He stated strongly that he is totally committed to the U.S. Military, not the Chinese Military...’

He’s also said he’s in favour of a referendum if the Tories pass a deal, but won’t have one if he gets a deal because his will be so good.

“Permanent and comprehensive UK-wide customs union with the EU” 272 votes against to 264.

It’s very clear - Parliament has voted against remaining in the EU and against every possible way of leaving. I suggest we adapt Schrödinger’s Brexit in which we tell Leavers we left and the sane part of the population remains in the EU.
