Anyone feel like supporting the Jersey Heart Support Group via my elder son doing the London Marathon?

Guernsey departures

Jersey Guernsey Ferry - Islands Unlimited. Reliability? Do I believe that they tried to tell me that they had brought forwards the sailing today? How easy is it for both an SMS and an email not to get through? To be fair to them, I will publish their reply (if they bother).

@edwardlucas Daily Mail really did a number on themselves with that article.

Fascinating and informative sessions today at the Islands Studies 2025 International Conference in Jersey. Migration issues, access to HE for young islanders and depopulation, remoteness and gender issues specific to islands. Faroes, Orkneys, Aruba (Leeward Antilles) and others.

Anyone know what this is? It is not an Enigma prototype, I am afraid. We found it among my late mother's possessions, but it had a label with my father's (he died in 1993) name on it.

ChatGPT really makes things up. Having seen a clip saying that there was rivalry between Queen Mary and the executed Tsarina, and knowing that both were German princesses (with the latter being a close relative of the late Prince Philip), I wanted to see how they were related.

I commend strongly Liberation 80 exhibition in St John parish hall. Good effort by my parochial neighbours. (ps, while we are on parishes, interesting to see if Jersey Catholic Dean manages to stay calm on Liberation day events if white smoke spotted from Sistine chimney)

Listening to the States, if senators were to be brought back in, and noting comments by some States members about them being the only people with a foolproof democratic mandate, it might be no bad thing if all primary legislation had to be passed by a majority of senators. Eh?

Economist article on regulating 'Therapists' & Jersey States member raised it recently. Important that vulnerable people are not maltreated, abused or taken to cleaners by quacks. Simple system, no cottage industry. UK professional body reg, with evidence to JE Care Commission.

Happy Independence Day, my dear #Estonia!

It is odd; yesterday @BBCJersey weather for the airport made it look as if this morning would be like yesterday, quite a pleasant day, and indeed no mention of fog/mist now. Not sure what @Jersey_Met said yesterday about today although now they are saying '...misty... fog..'

At first sight looks very bad, but difficult to know what to make of it. More over 2024 vs 2023, but fewer in December 2024 vs 2023. Has the effort into policing for impaired driving gone up? How has % stops, let us say 8pm-1am, resulting in a +ve test changed?

Screenshot as at 1247. Just had message (1 min ago) that this plane is finishing boarding at Heathrow. So, who keeps the arrivals screen on the @JERairport website up to date, Airport or @British_Airways? Not really helpful for people or taxi companies due to collect passengers

Warning about queues at Gatwick today. Someone in my family checked in suitcase 1 hr 25mins before flight to Jersey, went straight to security, even tried fast track. but missed the flight. Unusually, apparently, @British_Airways elected not to take the suitcase off the plane.

If you haven't been here yet, maybe it's time to plan a visit to #Estonia. 🇪🇪 #VisitEstonia

The 17-nation IT Coalition, led by #Estonia 🇪🇪 and #Luxembourg 🇱🇺, has committed nearly €500M to #StandWithUkraine. Together, we continue to strengthen 🇺🇦's cyber security and resilience. 💪

Unless these two Jersey Ministers are back by now from the British-Irish Council, they may have exciting flights and an interesting weekend.

The UK has the second-largest HR sector in the world. But its proliferation over the last decades has not translated to productivity growth, rather just created the need for more HR. Great diagnosis of "HR Britain" by Pamela Dow: https://t.co/oxvPlu3cY9
