Little Englanders foaming at the mouth about Islam in Britain, you sound like a 75 year old pished guy in a bowler hat and orange sash ranting in the pub about the looming threat of the papacy.

Ordinary Muslims you'd encounter in the UK are no more sinister and alien than ordinary Catholics. One day a week they maybe (or not) go to a fancy building to talk about God in a way that you don't connect with. Please try to be normal about that rather than let it eat your whole identity.

Good afternoon to you 🙂

Please convey my birthday wishes to MrsS.

Hope you both have a good day and celebrate with something nice 🎂🎉

“Companies like SpaceX have stated repeatedly that their method is to “move fast and break things.” They are now close to breaking the atmosphere, the night sky and anything on the ground or in space that their satellites and rockets fall on or crash into.

Earth’s orbital space is a finite resource. There is an evolving set of international guidelines for operating in outer space, grounded in a set of high-level international rules. Yet, those rules and guidelines are inadequate.

One corporation based in one country should not be allowed to ruin orbit, the night sky, and the atmosphere for everyone else in the world.”

Ouch, not sure what set mine off, it's been grumbling for a week, carrying a small child might not have helped. 😁

Wishing you both a speedy recovery 🙂

@NormanDunbar
Sorry to hear about the knee, go easy on it as much as you can.

I managed to do my back in over the weekend, so I'll join the walking wounded along with you 😁

@NormanDunbar
Yes, that's what MrsSP complained about. At least they let you reuse them.

Good morning MrD 🙂

Thanks, I do try not to moan.

Yes, that was branded socks yo do bouncing on the trampolines, soft play and other equipment. The ones we had with us were identical apart from the colour and branding. At least they enjoyed themselves, especially our granddaughter, who has only been walking a month or so. She coped with the bouncy walkway perfectly.

Have a good day and keep an eye out for aurora, should have been good last night. 🙂

Northern Lights as seen in North Pole, Alaska tonight! WOW! #Alaska #NorthernLights #NorthPoleAlaska

Here's a cheery email I got about the cheap stunt of ripping the UK off, pulled by Boris the porky liar PM & his pals on us!

This is Douglas Barrowman (& his ex bra sales wife!) he describes himself as an "entrepreneur".

The reality is that his businesses made a fortune mis-selling tax avoidance schemes on an industrial scale to people on modest incomes. (Like lord Panama Davie Cameron family firm?)

You're not going to believe this. PPE Medpro's controversial owner Douglas Barrowman is about to get £1 million, while the government will recover a mere £500k. [

A high court ordered PPE Medpro to pay back £190 million of public money, for supplying unusable unsafe protective gowns during the pandemic. The company went into administration, but another of Barrowman's companies is somehow first in line to take what little money is left.

That leaves the government with just £500k, while Barrowman is in line for another £1 million. This can't be right - every penny of that should be going back to our NHS. 

Together, we're calling on the Treasury and the Department of health to urgently appeal the PPE Medpro payout. 

Like it?
