For Whom the Bell Tolls


I attended our Village Hall Committee meeting earlier this week and was told that the local WI have booked the hall for a special event, but they've been reluctant to tell us what it is. I suspect they've arranged a public hanging.

Saw an article on our local news the other night about a church in the area that has switched from brass bells to digital bells. Whilst I'm sure it will save on the cost of maintenance of the bells and bell ringers, it won't do much for the art of campanology.


Not sure about you, but I much prefer an analogue timepiece to a digital one. A clock face can be read instantaneously, unlike a digital cock. Calendars, however, are always digital, although seeing where a day is on a monthly calendar is a form of analogue calendar.

Talking of sound earlier, I was researching soundbars so as to give my new TV the sound older TVs seemed able to achieve by design, but you end up spending as much on a soundbar as you do on the TV, which is surely meant to have adequate sound in the first place. What's going to be the next TV innovation? Shit video that requires a videobar to get it looking half decent?

Why are Brexit supporting MPs saying a 2nd referendum would risk splits in the country. Isn't the country split already?
