It's Sunday, so time for one of my Nicely Abridged Books. As gloom and thunder threaten, how about a half-hour with the original Frankenstein... thehundredbooks.com/Frankenstein.h…

Some very sad news from me. Glyn took his own life last week. He’d been unwell for some time.

In retrospect, I think, the second Elizabethan era will be seen as a time when Britain repeatedly tried and failed to become a normal European nation. It failed because it couldn't properly wake from the dream of empire. I hope it will keep trying.

Theologians. How's this... "We expect you to believe in God, but we don't ask you to know what God is. You discover that for yourself" @CandlerTheology @AJWTheology @LivedTheology @PTRBirmingham @UoN_CoTP

I remember when @RichardJMurphy and @DavidHenigUK talked ever so cautiously and politely about UK economy and trade. Their language seems to have changed in recent years. Wonder why? Follow them.

Why, oh why, oh why, would anyone defer to this creature? I simply cannot understand. I can not understand.

@ChrissieGrech Why would a gov't deliberately set out to harm its country? Well, it's what rich Russians did in the 1990s. And they bought up assets cheap, then sold them dear, and made the richest people in the world.

I thought "I'll put the TV news on", and then found that in the online, on-demand world, I don't actually know how you do that any more.

Some on Twitter (and in the Mail editorial team) seem to have forgotten the vital role of the court jester in times of old. Speaking truth to power in a way no one else could they shone a light on the pretentiousness of those in power. That's why we definitely need them now.

No, Edwina. Despite the name, radiators don't actually heat much by radiation, they heat by convection, so a reflector will do nothing at all.

@TanjaBueltmann Entirely correct. 'Gin' comes from the the Netherlands, and is a daily reminder of how the Dutch invasion of Britain in 1688 deposed our King James II to put their Willem Hendrik on the English throne. foodsofengland.co.uk/gin.htm

Can anyone explain where the extra costs of energy are going? Gas, oil, coal, wind and sunlight are all still supplied by nature free of charge. The people who collect them are still paid the same. Where's the money going?
