Two hours into a local power cut, nice to to be able to use my ham radio kit to keep our phones charged and have a hot cup of tea
Geeking out today at a combined 3D printing / Cosplay event in Southend. Orac, an arduino Enigma and some memorable droids. #happydays
Kudos to Sky’s correspondent for busking for about 10 minutes before the Southend West result was called. Headlines: 24% turnout (3rd lowest since WWII). Cons: 86.1%. 2nd place “spoilt ballot” (7%), 3rd place: Psychedelic Movement (3.4%). Bizarre bi-election.

Anyone affected can find the actual batch codes here: foldhill.co.uk/recall-statem…

Lovely day yesterday out on Radio Caroline, having a look around, and talking amateur radio with a group out there playing radio. Good o see the old girl again. Thanks to Kelly for joining me for the day to get some podcast audio.
Mobile ordering at @CostaCoffee? Cutting out the lovely friendly baristas? Much as I love tech, not 100% convinced the app delivers service with a smile
