‘Only hope we’ve got’: the audacious plan to genetically engineer Australia’s endangered northern quoll | Endangered species | The Guardian theguardian.com/environment/ar…

The Bill Nighys are late this year, so it's good to see a few recent sightings.
Do your bit to help this amazing species:
– leave a cafe table & chair on the pavement
– if you have the budget, hang a bespoke navy suit outside your house
– keep your silk sock dispenser replenished

Oh this is good. Who's a clever bird then!... thanks to Jo Brodie

Happy publication day #MuchAdoAboutNumbers Looking forward to reading this one

Love biscuits. Love tea. Happy to announce McVitie's have appointed me their Chief Dunking Officer (CDO)! Our research shows that 6m biscuits are lost each week to dunking disasters – now on a mission to save the nation from ‘over-dunking’. #AD
