TIL that you can run #SinatraRb from the #RubyLang to #JavaScript Opal transpiler. How well this works when serving from a CDN cache or S3 bucket is...well, undefined for me at the moment. But it looks like a really neat idea to play with!

The Uncertainty Of It All, Heisenberg You Were Right
As I walked out one evening,
Walking down Urdu Gulli
(I know friends are already suspecting
Since I was in 9th class
That I steal lines or wholesale,
So let me confess those two lines
Are mods of WH Auden’s poem
Not telling which poem
Do some homework).Returning from Minerva Coffee Shop
After Hot and Sour Soup
And Grilled Cheese Sandwich
With a few chips as garnishment
Waiters nowadays have become very caring
He asked me if I wanted more helping of chips
I smiled and pointed to my belly
He gave a hearty chuckle
This young guy who is in far better health
Of the body, not finances,
I ask him to get the bill,
And then maître d’hôtel walks up to me
And asks “Tea?”
I say why not, and he who sees me
At the coffee shop, alone, often,
I know him better than he does me
He only knows that I take tea in the end
I know how much he earns,
How long he has been working here
How old he is
He is still unmarried, etc.Now you are wondering,
Where is the uncertainty in this all buddy
All too predictable—the cheese sandwich—
You who are not exactly slim,
I start to protest I was once and stop
Realizing I have to justify the title,
Ok, read the last stanza.As I walked out one evening,
#AsIWalkedOutOneEvening #MinervaCoffeeShop #Poem #Poetry #Uncertainty #WHAuden
Walking back down Urdu Gulli,
I stepped on a banana peel
With a little bit of its pulp inside
I almost fall, and let out
A mild gasp, either Oh My
Or Oh God, must have been Oh God
Because God is very much on my mind
For too long now, in fact so long
I keep remembering Samuel Beckett’s play
Not telling which play, look up
Do your homework, my God you guys are lazy
See how God has made his appearance again
But I digress, and upon hearing My God
The male of the couple behind me
Asked, “What happened Sir?”
By the time I look up
I find the girl/woman (his girlfriend or wife?)
Ahead of him by a few meters
He has lagged behind
Does that happen these days
The women outpacing we men
Anyway, I digress again,
So I point to the banana peel
And shrug and say,
“Can’t even sue anyone”
He gives a chuckle
Perhaps wondering
Suing? What’s going on?
And I add, maybe there’s a CC TV camera
He says unnecessarily, “Evidence”
And wanting to have the last word
I say, ‘Yeah, the smokin’ gun”,
And walk back to my apartment
“Shaken and stirred” (sorry, Bond). -

Clarkson blasts ‘mad’ school dinners as Welsh kids fed chicken from China and Thailand
The former Top Gear host — now better known to many as a working farmer thanks to his hit Amazon series Clarkson’s Farm — has waded into the controversy after it emerged children across Wales are being served chicken from countries including China, Thailand and Brazil.
And he’s speaking from experience.
Since taking over Diddly Squat Farm, Clarkson has repeatedly highlighted the financial pressures, regulations and challenges facing British farmers — something he says makes the school meals situation even harder to understand.
Typical school dinner tray featuring fried chicken, macaroni, corn and diced potatoes — similar to meals served in Welsh schools using imported poultry.
(Image: Ezumeimages / Dreamstime.com)Swansea figures spark outrage
As previously revealed by Swansea Bay News, the situation in south west Wales has left many readers stunned.
In Swansea itself, just 2.33% of the chicken used in school meals comes from the UK, with the vast majority imported — including a significant proportion from outside Europe altogether.
Elsewhere in the region, the picture is no clearer. Carmarthenshire Council admitted using chicken from outside the EU to cater for halal dietary requests but declined to say where it came from, while Pembrokeshire also refused to provide detailed figures. Neath Port Talbot did not respond to requests for information.
Across Wales, the figures become even more stark. In Merthyr Tydfil, almost all school chicken — more than 99% — is imported, while in Gwynedd the vast majority is sourced from countries including Brazil, Thailand and China.
Perhaps most striking of all, not a single council in Wales was able to confirm how much of the chicken served to children is actually Welsh.
Jeremy Clarkson and Kaleb Cooper share a moment while working the land in Clarkson’s Farm. (Credit: Amazon)Clarkson: “It makes no sense”
Writing in a national newspaper column, Clarkson said the situation left him completely baffled.
“How is it possible to ship a chicken all the way from Chiang Mai to Bridgend and for it to arrive with a lower price tag than a chicken reared two miles down the road?”
He blamed government policy for creating what he sees as a deeply unfair system — something he says he’s experienced first-hand.
“It’s the government that imposes unbelievably strict and expensive standards on British farmers — and then allows imports that don’t follow anything like the same rules.”
Clarkson said those rules — while often well-intentioned — can leave UK farmers struggling to compete.
Jeremy Clarkson takes a break on the farm alongside Kaleb Cooper during filming of Clarkson’s Farm. (Credit: Amazon)“Jumping through all these hoops makes farming here clean and efficient… but it also makes it more expensive.”
‘British farmers being priced out’
Drawing on his own experience running a farm, Clarkson warned that UK agriculture is being squeezed from all sides.
He pointed to bans on certain pesticides and stricter welfare rules in Britain compared to other countries — arguing that while they may protect the environment and animals, they also drive up costs.
“We do the right thing here… and then import food from places that don’t.”
He said the result is a system where British farmers are effectively being undercut in their own market.
“British farmers are being priced… into the bankruptcy court.”
A system “no one can fix”?
Clarkson also suggested the problem may be bigger than government alone, pointing to global trade rules that limit what the UK can do about imports.
“On the face of it, there’s not a damn thing we can do about it.”
But he did offer one solution — urging consumers and organisations to pay closer attention to where food comes from.
Campaigners are angry that Chicken imported from thousands of miles away are beiung used for school dinners – rather than locally bred animals“If there’s a little red tractor, it means the food you’re buying was grown here in the UK.”
Parents and farmers hit out
The revelations have sparked a wave of frustration across Wales, particularly among farming families who feel they are being undercut in their own communities.
Many parents have also been left questioning what exactly is ending up on their children’s plates, and why food is being shipped thousands of miles when high-quality produce is available locally.
Critics say the situation simply doesn’t add up in a country with such strong agricultural roots, while campaigners warn it risks undermining both environmental goals and confidence in the food system.
Pressure mounting in Wales
The growing backlash is now turning the issue into a wider political and public debate.
Campaigners are calling for councils to be far more open about where school food comes from, while also pushing for changes that would allow more Welsh produce to be used in public sector meals.
There is also increasing pressure to reduce reliance on imported meat altogether, particularly at a time when local farmers are facing rising costs and uncertainty.
A row far from over
With a high-profile voice like Clarkson — and his very public farming struggles — now adding fuel to the fire, the debate over school meals in Wales shows no sign of slowing down.
And for many, the question remains:
Why are Welsh children eating imported chicken… when it could be produced on their own doorstep?
