As Trump's father and mother were, and most other Americans.

For dog lovers everywhere...

Kev, you won't have any Christmas crackers left at Xmas if you keep opening them at this rate!

I had a surprise the other day when the postman delivered a letter in this envelope shown below. It's about a class action for $1.5 billion. I thought Donald Trump was going to sue me for writing scathing comments about him on this very web forum! Thank goodness I was wrong. It's about a Copyright C...

The Trump administration is totally unpredictable and is acting like a rogue state..... How long can this go on for? I'd say it is a rogue state. It threatens to invade a sovereign state and to buy other states, it kills people illegally and destroys vessels in international waters without any evid...

This brings a new meaning to the phrase `special relationship'... `New US security strategy aligns with Russia's vision, Moscow says' LINK Russia has welcomed Donald Trump's new US National Security Strategy, calling it "largely consistent" with Moscow's vision. The 33-page document, unvei...

My Grandma would have said `rub their noses in it first!'

Remember my warning to our local main hospital via my friendly councillor about inadequate hand cleansing facilities at the entrances? As well as the worst influenza strain for many years it's also the norovirus season. A local school here had to close recently due to a norovirus outbreak.

...Further west of Lancashire I think something is slipping into the Irish Sea . The surface geology along the Fylde coast and out into the seabed is primarily siltstone, mudstone and boulder clay deposited after the last Ice Age. This is soft rock and relatively easy to erode and wash away, hence ...

My sister-in-law's sense of humour!...

Question I ask myself is "Were we programmed to fail?" No, I don't think so. We're in the Great Universe Game Show and have a chance to win but we're blundering along at the moment and failing to impress anyone out there who may be watching. Tripps could probably tell us the odds! :smile:

Thanks Wendy!

With a bit of luck this could unseat Netanyahu... `Crisis looms in Israel over ultra-Orthodox conscription bill' LINK An impending crisis over conscripting ultra-Orthodox Jews into the Israeli army is threatening to undermine Israel's government and split the country. Public opinion on the issue has...

Having PFAS (per-and poly fluoroalkyl substances) in our bodies is now normal no matter where we live or how we live...
`I have high levels of forever chemicals in my blood - what can I do about it?' LINK

That makes sense to me - all posts have a date in them already.

If you haven't already seen this it's very good. LINK Chris McCausland trying out AI gadgets etc in California to find out what benefits blind people and others can expect. There's some marvellous things shown. It also reinforces my belief (and that of the late Prof James lovelock) that the future o...

In my last post I referred to `gangs of antisemitic American ex-servicemen' going out to the Middle East to kill Muslims. Whyperion rightly PM'd me because I'd made the mistake of using `antisemitic' when they were really `anti-Muslim' so I've corrected the post. It prompts me to mention once again ...

They are still there, earlier in this thread. This morning I saw Stanley mentioning it reverting to 2013 each time he tried to post and then Wendy saying it was now OK. I entered `Lights in the sky' in the search box and the results showed about 6 recent posts then the remainder appeared to be all ...

Gosh, what exciting lives you all live, I do envy you! We suffer a boring life, living without a magic smart meter. Like Tripps, we have the arduous task of using a torch to read our meters in the garage. (Sorry you have to go out in the rain, Tripps.)

I wonder what happened to all the posts from the period 2013 to 2025?

Two more warnings about online scams. The scammers are getting increasingly clever at tricking people into their traps. Be on your guard! :smash: `Meta accused of letting AI sellers 'run rampant'' LINK `Text scammers make tens of thousands a month - and spend it on designer shoes and bags' LINK

The UN and other aid agencies refused to co-operate with its system, saying it was unethical and unsafe. Almost immediately after it was set up the BBC revealed that gangs of antisemitic anti-Muslim American ex-servicemen went out and joined it and took the opportunity to murder Muslims and stopped...
