    If he never fired a shot it isn't really an assassination attempt is it? Intended quite possibly, but not an actual attempt.

    Others are asking how a person with a firearm came within 500m of the former president. Every time he goes out there are people with firearms closer than 500m, and I don't mean Secret Service or Police.

    The Duke of Norfolk

    In 2022 he unsuccessfully tried to argue that his role in organising the king’s coronation should exempt him from a driving ban after he was caught using his phone while running a red light. During his 21 years as a crossbench peer, he has voted 12 times – seven of which related to hunting – made no speeches and asked no written questions.

    The defence rests.

    Some of the responsibility needs to go onto owners though - you see people walking around with £1000+ phones like they are a slice of pizza. You wouldn't walk around with that amount of cash on in your hand.

    I suspect a good proportion of those don't even have find my phone or whatever switched on. Could it not be on by default, or would that be a nightmare?

    And FFS people, stop putting your credit cards whatever in your phone case. Put a password on it whilst you're at it.

    Some of them must have been fairly long lived - they couldn't have grown that large in just a few years. Several species of whale live over a 100 years. And then we have the Greenland shark living possibly up to 500 years and although not massive, their ancestors must have done something right as their descendants are still here over 400 million years later. Or perhaps they were just very good at hiding.

    How do I make my bread really dark?

    Am trying to make a dark rye loaf like you'd find on a stall or in a shop. Not the really dense 'pumpernickel' style but round or oblong tin shaped. Have tried various percentages of strong dark rye, muscovado sugar and black treacle but the loaf is still not *that* dark. I did try some cocoa in one loaf but that just gave an odd colour. Am using a Panasonic bread machine and in over 5 years it's only ever produced a couple of duff loaves - which were down to me (forgetting yeast, mixer blade or water) and often use it for the dough function and then finish in oven. Am not averse to resorting to full manual though if needed. Any ideas? TIA
