In light of the overarching importance, revealed today, of "process", I have reluctantly decided to launch a review of my own processes & have asked associates thereafter to conduct a review of my review which will then be reviewed by me as part of the process of overall review.

@NREKC173 Perhaps the best ever live performance of any song ever by perhaps the greatest lineup of musicians on a single stage - ever finishing with one of the greatest guitar solos ever

@OSacrumCorIesu The choir I run at our C of E village church groan if we chant 1 psalm in a service - and usually that’s not a whole psalm. Given we have 1 evening office a week in Lent (sung compline) it’s now going to increase from 12 minutes to about 10 hrs to accommodate all 150 psalms.

This is one of my favourite bits of the Benedictine Rule.
Anything less than all of the Psalms in a week is lukewarm (at least for monastics).
St Benedict be like, “slackers” 🫢

@_F_B_G_ Fergus, as you well know, you can find a saint’s day for most days in lent, and it would be an insult to the memory of any saint to fast and not feast on the their day.

(Reminds me I must slip a quarter pounder with cheese and six nuggets in before I give up meat for Lent)

No comment on this specific video but it’s interesting how we’ve gone from McDonald’s being a sneered at import, symbolic of US imperialism, low culture and poor food standards to it becoming adopted as ‘Maccies’, a sort of inherent part of the. British cultural scene.

My first job was at McDonald’s 30 years ago. It was hard, honest work, and it taught me a lot.

There’s a chap on the seat next to me on a train working his way (noisily) through a 3 course Chinese takeaway. Oh the smell….. not sure if my overriding emotion is disgust or envy

Tom brings us the news and the analysis which our national broadcaster seems unable or unwilling to do.

If you missed my first Thought for the Day, Rupert has kindly captured it here…

Cup of tea, a few slices of Christmas cake with Wensleydale cheese, and one of the greatest films ever made!

@PensionsMonkey There is also a cash flow issue here, moving from unfunded DB to funded DC.

@PensionsMonkey Also we have had the McCloud debacle, which means that for the 7 years from 2015 to 2022, the members choose, at retirement, with benefit of hindsight, whether they would like to have been a member of the legacy scheme, or the new CARE scheme - which ever gives a better outcome
English
Agree with this, should be on the table as part of a negotiated settlement

The UK doctors strike: Every country has their fiscal aburdities. In the UK it is public sector unfunded, index-linked final salary pensions. The employer (ie taxpayer) pays an absurd 25-35% in pension contributions verses <10% for private sector. Shut these unaffordable schemes!

@QcWynter Here in Norfolk our local council elections in May this year were cancelled on basis that a move to unitary authority in 12 months would render them obsolete. The U A now not on schedule so another year without council elections on same premise. Plus cancelled mayor election.
English
Mayoral election in my home county of Essex is to be postponed, govt will say on basis that more time is needed to prepare.
Who has to prepare what?
With elections not due until May, which preparations could not be completed by then?
No one has yet explained anything.

@AlisonMitchell The greatest English batsman I have ever seen (been watching since 1979) against genuinely quick bowling. And oh so brave. And those square cuts - would not have liked fielding at cover point when he was batting!
English
The posters of that square cut on the bedroom wall of so many cricket fans of a certain generation. RIP Robin Smith
Currently at an event in Brisbane with England fans who have all quietened at this sad news, and raised a toast to a legend.
England Cricket@englandcricket
Everyone at the England & Wales Cricket Board is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Robin Smith. An England and Hampshire legend. Rest in peace, Judge ❤
English
Probably the greatest English batsman against genuinely quick bowling I ever had the honour and pleasure to see has sadly died, far too young. RIP Robin Smith. Oh those square cuts of his!
English
@PensionsDave How do you identify salary sacrifice as opposed to salary together with employer pension contribution?
English
Laughed out loud at the salary sacrifice announcement. Literally zero noise from anyone in the house.

Great day’s test cricket. But 72 overs with an extra hour!!!! Perhaps just as well over rate so utterly abysmal otherwise we would be halfway through England’s 2nd innings on day 1.
