Parliamentary Written Question 2756, asked by Louise Haigh on 16 June 2015, was "To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many GP surgeries in Sheffield, Heeley constituency will be affected by the phased withdrawal of the Minimum Practice Income Guarantee."

(The answer was 28, if anyone's interested.)

The decimal expansion of ((e + π)/9)^3 begins 0.2760... , so multiplied by 10000 it's slightly more than 2760.

You can easily check this with a calculator - but how did I find it out?

I'd forgotten what "glamping" was until I read this - a mixture of "glamour" and "camping". Mr Blue Sky (2764) in Cornwall is described as "a delightful shepherd's hut with views". Its picture window frames a beautiful garden vista, while in the distance you can see a panorama of the Atlantic ocean.

Here's a rather arresting video called Future of the World 2766-3000. The person who created it clearly thinks there are going to be a lot of political changes around that time. Somehow it got over 56,000 views in three months!
