I seldom recall my dreams at all, but whenever I do they seem to feature the normal range of colours. I have always found the idea that dreams are NOT usually in colour to be very odd.
For all the logical reasons - space, portability, seachability yada yada - ebooks win all the time.
However, if I am reading in comfort at home and have the option I will still go for a paperback every time. Paperback, mind. Not a hardback, which have never appealed to me.
England: First recorded school c.600AD. First University 1096. Compulsory primary education through a series of acts in the 1870s & 1880s, compulsory secondary education 1918.
I do pretty much all the time. Why? Because I like to keep up with the latest posts - and so the news and stories they relate to. It seems a bit odd to ask 'why' really.
I always stick with 'subscribed', of course. I have no idea what 'new' and 'all' would look like.
If Fred & Bob are talking and 'he told him x and he responded with y" then that is also unclear. This is not a problem that is unique to the word 'they'.
Of course, in either case, the answer to use phrase it so that you remove any ambiguity and communicate clearly: "Sam told them x and the board responded with y.", "Bob told him x and Fred responded with y".
The have been doing FW over this year - and they also vote for other, shorter, readalongs (just voting for another now, I think), but I have not joined any of those,
I don't know whether it would work here. I feel that getting enough people interested in a particular title to make it viable would be the issue - since a lot of people will inevitably drop out for one reason or another over the course of the year.
With the other titles in previous years there were dedicated subreddits - but not private or anything.
Not exactly an original thought though. This had been a staple of SF writers for decades. E M Forster's The Machine Stops from 1909 being a fine example.
The Romans had an impact to a greater or lesser degree across the whole of the area that they controlled in Great Britain, including Cornwall and Wales, but the Brythonic (Celtic) culture seems to survive for most ordinary people throughout that time. It was really only the arrival of the Germanic peoples - the Angles and Saxons - that seemed to displace the Brythonic language and culture from much of the lands that they went on to occupy, which was largely the land that was easier to work in the majority of England, but not the more difficult land in the West and North - including Cornwall and Wales.
Around that time, there is evidence that some Brythonic speakers were moving into Wales - presumably from England - causing changes to the existing dialects there, also some Britons seem to have migrated to Brittany on the continent, and there was an outbreak of plague that affected much of the Roman lands and caused a population decline there - but less so among the Germanic people.
No matter which had more effect, it was the Germanic people and culture that displaced the existing one - not the Romans.
Whilst I am sympathetic to the overall aim of this, things like this:
She would have expected people to name figures such as Quintus Lollius Urbicus, who became governor of Roman Britain
...do stand out as being a a bit unrealisitic. I mean, how many governors of Roman Britain of any race or nationality can the typical Briton actually name? I'd be surprised if it was more than 1 and probably less than that.
And if the expectation is that anyone would know of this guy only because his chief contribution to history is "being black" then I am not sure what we are gaining here.
I'm much the same as @Zane@aussie.zone - lots of bookcases, selection of prints and originals from artists and galleries here and there. We also have a couple of line and wash sketches of my own and several paintings by my SO, a mounted deer skull, a green man sculpture and a couple of landscape photos of mine. Neither of us do family photos.
In the past, I have had: a large mirror that I turned into a clock, a banner from a Greenpeace group that I was involved with, a tapestry that I friend made for us, a macramé owl that I inherited, a couple of film posters and a bicycle.
That one takes few episodes to settle down but all from around ep 40 or so are good. The last few - starting with 179 - are looking at AI and consciousness and covering a lot of great viewpoints.
In Our Time - "Polidori's The Vampyre" and "Thomas Paine's Common Sense" are both ones that I heard recently and found particularly interesting. Also Thinking Allowed's "The Petite Bourgeoisie".
A toss-up between Philosophise This and the BBC's In Our Time for me. Thinking Allowed is also in the mix and I've recently started Mike Duncan's Revolutions which is proving entertaining too.

No. Perhaps because when I get paid to write about science, I don't use grammar like that.
