Well now my empty letterbox makes me feel worse. 😕
A geologist and archaeologist by training, a nerd by inclination - books, films, fossils, comics, rocks, games, folklore, and, generally, the rum and uncanny… Let’s have it!

Well now my empty letterbox makes me feel worse. 😕
Mainly Next, with a but of M&S, Tesco and Asda. They (and M&S) have a much larger stock online, so I tend to order online but ock and collect in store, so I can order a few in different sizes, try them on for the best fit and return what doesn’t work. That way you get the larger range of options but the convenience of trying them on in-store.
8 downvotes? The Pat Butcher Appreciation Society is out in force!
The news story isn’t the DNA results, they were published in the Journal of Forensic Sciences in 2019 (note the Expression of Concern published more recently, which seem to me require the tests to be rerun elsewhere), that news story is about the historian Russell Edwards pushing for an inquest to resolve this (which despite coming from the Daily Fail, I have no grounds to doubt). Given the issues with not having access to the raw DNA data (it happens, but it also makes things look a bit fishy), I suspect he needs to wait for a reanalysis or it would be thrown out.
You jest, but that has potential.
Dave the Ripper would be scary.
As you can imagine, I frequent a lot of similar news sites (or ad delivery sites that use news to space the ads out) and that makes it bearable.
According to the Daily Mail, Edwards has hired a legal team to help gain an inquest after he found a 100% DNA match.
Descendants of both Eddowes and Kosminski have backed this move.
As he told “Today,” Edwards and his team have sent a letter to the attorney general requesting permission to go to Britain’s High Court for a further inquest.
That’ll be a big deal if they can manage it.
I knew the shawl was being tested but the provenance seemed shaky. However, a match to a suspect at the time seems pretty conclusive.
I second that.
I’m glad I got most of my silly shit out of the way before camera phones took off. I wore a wedding dress about two months before a close friend got one. Those who were there have a treasured (and hilarious) memory, the image, however, won’t follow me around wherever I go.
Time to not be a customer of theirs any longer.
Time to take Naughty Fortune Cookies to Dragons Den to make it a proper standalone business.
Missed the chance to get “have a GP appointment with Harold Shipman” and “go to a pool party at Michael Barrymore’s” in there (replacing the McCanns and Edward Scissorhands).
We’ve all been young and stupid and done things we now regret, so… #checksNotes… oh, never mind.

I’d prefer not to if it’s all the same to you.
Just imagine how his missus must feel!

They usually do. When we opened for donations, we pretty much hit our goals within days and our donations currently exceed our expenses without having to do donation drives. @[email protected] had a thread where Lemmy Admins discussed their costs and a lot are already fully funded.
