I think this sums it up perfectly.

I have had recently 2 (1 of which is still ongoing) what I can only describe as bloopers when ordering from the Internet, 1 of then could almost be described as a scam. I do order mainly dog stuff (it can be cheaper than pet shops) but usually from sites I use frequently but have been caught out recently. The first one was a anxiety relieving dog bed from Buddies Pet Store, it was a bit expensive but looked really good in the pictures and reviews were excellent. The bed was priced in UK pounds so I presumed it was a UK site and I ordered it. Got confirmation of order and delivery dates. T

I think you’ll find that those councillors who made such decisions are long dead.

Brew... I'll set a reminder on my phone to remind me to look for the GA in 100 million years time...

Kids will never experience Monkey Magic on Friday teatime, straight after me & brother would be in the outhouse looking for broom handles to wack each other over the head with, marvellous.

You just need the Love Potion #9 ben you will be fine.

If I remember right it takes 200 million years for the milky way to rotate, so 100 million years from now we should have a clear view of it. I'll let you know what it looks like...

RR you have a very cavalier outlook to Covid as we all know, but telling people to look after themselves is a bit like Marie Antoinette’s attitude to the peasantry. A surprisingly right wing “!’m alright” philosophy for a Labour voter. To act like ‘Jack-the-Lad’, have a devil may care, disparaging and somewhat aggressive attitude is fine if we’re all the same, but we’re not. Many are older, not as fit as once they were, and highly vulnerable to serious complications should Covid strike. You have good health and long may it continue, but try to have a little more e

You don't have to go out into space to find a great attractor, of course. Planet Earth has it's very own @benjamin1945

Further to the comments up-thread about the great void in space where there's nowt there, there's a thing called the Great attractor in the Virgo & Hydra-Centaurus super-clusters that's pulling everything towards it. It lies about 150 - 250 million light years from the Milky Way, which is it's self being pulled towards it. The boffins have zero idea what the Great Attractor is, but it must have lots & lots & lots of mass. I suspect it could be a super gigantic mega massive black hole. Problem is it lies behind the central bulge of the Milky Way, so the Great Attractor can't be dire

Raining here today. Yesterday was quite sunny but with a cool breeze from the NW. I've potted up all my vine Tomatoes, but the weather isn't too encouraging. The cherry toms are growing very slowly. All outside, against the back wall, to catch the sun.. I don't usually eat breakfast.. just lunch and an evening meal. But, I'm going to the dentist at 12:30 to have the broken stump of a tooth extracted, so I doubt I'll want to eat for a couple of hours. The tooth was crowned a few years ago. It caused two big painful abscesses before I had it root canal filled at t

I know Col.........just can't help it....do ya think my condition is serious ?.......

Well done Mary, bet you are well chuffed. What a bit of good news.

Just been looking at the photos of Maid Marian Way construction on the Post website. I only have two words for what the cretins in the council did bloody vandals. Definition of a vandal "A person that deliberately destroys or damages property belonging to others"

Hyson Green library...now also relocated...had a whole section of yellow jacketed Gollancz titles of which my father was an avid reader. I loved that library and was an almost daily visitor from being in my pushchair. All the furniture, including the huge, circular desk, was of oak. The floor was composed of parquet blocks. The atmosphere an almost worshipful hush. The last time I visited, in the early 80s, it was all gone. Plastic chairs and similar rubbish. Incessant noise and screaming children. The smell of books and wax polish had fled! It lives on, now, in my drea
