Roger Daltrey has always seemed to me to be one of the most sensible, grown-up of rock stars… but his autobiography is titled to thumb his nose at the headmaster of a school he left 50 years ago
Wishing a good morning to @SteveHorsfall and @dukkhaboy on this, the very finest of mornings
RT @gwilsoncfc: Kieran Trippier is one of our own 😀
RT @Caitlin26x: Kante works so hard he could get MOTM for a game he isnt even playing in
I never knew you could do this either:
invoke-pester -script testscript.tests.ps1 *> c:\temp\TestResults.txt
The star re-directs all streams

#TodayILearned that if you want to re-direct the screen output from @PSPester to a file, then you use a ‘6’
invoke-pester -script testscript.tests.ps1 6> c:\temp\TestResults.txt

Damage so far:
- one hot cross bun

Corbyn has “become the José Mourinho of Brexit, sticking to a system that has lost half the dressing room while a people’s vote remains benched like Paul Pogba for daring to be more popular than the manager”
#BrexitMetaphorOfTheDay from @PatricKielty
#TodayILearned that VS @Code has really nice diff functionality.
Ctrl-Shift-P then File: Compare Active File With…
Then pick a file (I got a choice of recently used files…I can’t quite see how to compare against a non-recently used file)
And somewhere in the darkness The gambler, he broke even
#PostASongLyricYouLove
#TodayILearned that Don Schlitz, who wrote ‘The Gambler’ (and does a fine version of it in the podcast) also co-wrote ‘When You Say Nothing At All’
I found this in Suggs' London book, which I’m enjoying very much
Many years ago I used to occasionally go to a pub in Soho called the Coach and Horses. #TodayILearned that the landlord wrote a memoir called ‘You’re barred, you bastards’
