(1517) Good mid-afternoon, all.
26. Raleigh and later Triumph for me
25. DAD at 1361
Sam is back in London for his new video. “The Push Towards a Universal World Religion”.
24. I do agree
23. Explains itself
22. Housekeeping
Afraid I have to say, yet again, that no way is Unherdables promoting Bannon, Epstein’s mate. That’s it.
21. IYE corner
a. At 1361, The Young Turks
b. ”Digital Public Infrastructure “

”Countries have lived with imposed conditions for decades. What is new is that the conditions now reach the individual directly — and that infrastructure through which they reach them stays in place long after the emergency that justified installing it has ended.”
“ The National Endowment for Democracy:What It Is and What It Does”
A report from the commies’ HQ. Huda Thunk?

22. Housekeeping – Bannon isn’t in that episode, just Joe Allen and Holly Elmore talking about the concerns surrounding AI. But hey, it’s your blog after all.
……
JH: It’s Bannon’s site. No big deal, personally but as we can’t go along with anything connected with an Epstein associate until cleared, I have to honour that.
26. I was never going to forgive my Mum and Dad for the Moulton Minis my brother and I were presented with. Redemption arrived in the form of a Claud Butler a few years later.
26. Raleigh then another Raleigh but can’t remember the make of my first ‘proper’ bike.
26. A Rudge, second hand, mind, for passing my 11+. Cycled to school to cries of, “Ride a Raleigh, ride a wreck. Ride a Rudge and break your neck.” With a single gear, how close they often were.
26. Raleigh and later Triumph for me – being the oldest my sister got the first new bike, later used by my mother for cycling to work as school cook. Lovely marine blue colour with white tyres and a step-through frame. I think it was a Raleigh but I’m not sure – we’re talking mid-sixties here. Next was my older brother who had a new royal blue Triumph for his 13th birthday. That was a four-speed. I didn’t get a new bike as money was tight so I built my own bike – ape hangers mud-flaps the lot, and I painted it bright yellow. 10 years on I sold my car after joining the Army and bought myself a new Claude Butler racing bike. I did time trials on that one with Dorset Wheelers. I also had a heavier 18-speed Raleigh for everyday use to and from the camp at RM Poole. Happy days 🙂

JH: Certainly were.
