"Never heard of her" I don't know whether this is a UK thing or not, but her songs were still on heavy rotation here (i.e. before she died). I was at a karaoke last week and people did two of her songs. Her voice was distinctive.
I've been learning to play an instrument over the past year or and and we did one of her songs in the class.
So no, she was not forgotten by the time of her death.
Children are going to witness or experience violence at some point or ask questions about it. They will probably see some at school. I think it depends when and how you introduce it. For example, there is a heavy focus on refugees in western schools and media, but at some point a child is eventually going to have to ask what refugees are running from. (Torture and violence.) It's hard to avoid discussing violence in the context of history, or even when bullying comes up.
I would argue that effective tutoring is going to have to factor in the child having regular breaks. Staring at an object a short distance away for prolonged periods will effect their eyesight, and they also need some kind of movement for other physiological reasons.
Maybe because I do searches for specific topics and no blogs appear in the results. This is even though I know certain blogs contain information on the topics I'm interested in, and instead I get "trusted media" which has information often only loosely connected to what I'm after.
Not completely. You could get a market gardener type scenario where people could sell some plants on a smaller scale. Some of the best beer comes from small breweries. Surely the same applies here?
Like I say, the Manx government is not British when it suits it (offshore banking) but is British when it does suit it (defence). Their relationship is complicated, and often contradictory.
Apart from the Commonwealth Games, there is little effort to set up a proper national sporting infrastructure like the Faroe Islands have. Their football team does not get out much and if they have a national rugby side I've never heard of it.
NI gets very messy! They had so many lines once and between the Troubles and cuts, they lost many of them. (The cross-border canal system was even more neglected.) The NI trains run on a different gauge from here (this came up yesterday when someone was talking about the possibility of a train between Scotland and there.
The train to Dublin is way slower than it should be. The trains within the Republic tend to be much better. That said, Letterkenny's most logical rail connection would be to Derry just due to the lay of the land.
Some people here think if it's on Wikipedia it's authoritative. Yours truly has written many Wikipedia articles, some translated into ten or more languages. I've seen how ugly it is behind the scenes there.
I miss blogs. They are omitted from searches now but are among the best internet search content. Threadinburgh is one of the best online resources about Edinburgh by far.
Some of those Canadian people probably did not have a good business plan, but it is clear the British government doesn't like the idea of a small grower with a few plants. Even though that should be allowed as much as it is with brewing.
I could also mention Manx Railways, which are historic heritage lines, but there are at least three railway lines there that are mostly used by tourists and some commuters.
The Isle of Man has a curious relationship with the UK. As a Manxman once said to me, the government there is British when it feels like it and not British when it feels like it.
A couple of obvious observations:
* Does not include Northern Ireland or the Isle of Man, both of which have notable rail networks (as they are not in GB).
* Does not include heritage railways. There are a number of other railways on here which are not marked but offer tourist travel.
In the UK currently, an estimated third of cigarettes are illegal, because of the high duty on tobacco. What will probably happen here is that the British government will do the same if cannabis is legalised. They are already starting ensuring that only they and their friends can supply medical cannabis, meaning that we don't have a proper open market before it's even started.
I am aware of someone who does both, because I overheard someone discussing it with him. Cannabis will retain a black market when it becomes a government cash cow.
Sadly it has been during most of human history. I think the establishment resents the masses becoming over educated. The 1990s internet had a wealth of views and information on it. Now you can only access approved sources via search engines thanks to scaremongering, and have CloudFlare monitoring everything you do.
Tennis and rugby had video refs about twenty years before soccer did. Rugby is a much more complex game than soccer, so the implication must be something in referee culture. Football fans act as if this is something new and complicated.
I second the comment about all the advertising. It's hideous.
