Excellent and quite hard Tower Defence game.

I echo the sentiments of the owner of Peach Pubs. PubNextDoor looks likely to close, but I can't help but blame the landlord – he's hopeless.

Completely bonkers game.

Yo ho ho and a rottle of bum. Sequel to Kenya, obviously.

Hotel in the intra muros in Saint Malo.

Wise words from Boris Johnson. No, really.

Online shop for all kinds of government and official publications (including EU publications).

Planning to drive to Germany? You will need an emissions sticker in order to drive into many city centres. They cost EUR 12.50.

The toll for crossing the dartford Crossing is increasing by 50% (if you use it during the day – it is being scrapped for crossing between 10pm and 6am). However, if you sign up for a Dart Tag and use it at least once a year, you'll get the old rate of £1 for a car. Well worth it.

I feel a purchase coming on. All I have to do is justify it.

Where do I sign up?

I wonder if changes at the top of the USPTO might help my industry with the ridiculous 102b situation (sorry, Plant Patent law geekery!). We shall have to wait, but I suspect it will depend on the new head of the office and their attitude to overseas patent owners.

Brewery near Rouen with chambres d'hote. Mmmmm – beer and accommodation in the same building. This sounds like a good combination.

Chambres d'hote in a chateau near Rouen.

How to get your worm – mimic a mole.
