Before steamships came along, sailing ships like Cutty Sark went pretty much everywhere, and they weren’t dependent on hopping between fossil fuel depots. They had less clockwork-like predictability, but greater freedom, lower costs & zero emissions. And now the shipping industry is making a serious effort to regain some of those advantages:

Braverman’s future

Sir, In your story about Suella Braverman (“No 10’s Suella dilemma: keep in or cast out?”, Aug 19) you describe her as a polarising figure, with some of her colleagues deriding her as “totally useless” and others hailing her as a future party leader. I'd like to point out that, based on recent experience, the one doesn’t rule out the other.

You know when you have a video loop, but to make it loop something disappears in an improbable manner?

And you think, that's a shame, because I really like this little clip.

And you could crop it so, for example, a bird doesn't disappear in mid-flight, but then it looks unbalanced so you need to find some unobtrusive way for the bird to disappear so it appears natural?

Yeah. That.

I think I need a quiet lie down.

PSA…
Never stand behind a wall waiting for a hole to appear from the other side. And never assume you know where the hole will be, which was my key mistake really.
I have never got so close to being disemboweled in my life. New meaning for DiY…
