That recycling bin isn't there any more unless I have missed it? That one is for good condition items. I just discovered that Runners Need and Cotswold Outdoor have a shoe recycling scheme. Haven't dropped mine in yet but next time I am near one will check it out. -

Would have thought Oru/ Trinco would be noisy… certainly is at mid afternoon. Do let us know when you have been what is was like and where you finally settled on.sure we are all interested as your requirements are quite specific and good to know or have reviews on places, especially from you with different needs and requirements. Actually, given the numbers involved and as you say a special occasion, assuming £20/30 head, you really should have a chat with Suzanne. Maybe your kids could chip in a bit more as they are working.. You could always provide a cake yourself for after. Her food is special and well cooked.. know what you are getting..! Italian place is also good as well and would cater for your needs except of course the toilet aspect which is a steep climb down stairs… even I struggle. Yes, , know you are not a fan of Vietnamese place after tea incident… Owner now does all the cooking and so nice and accommodating but you won’t go there.. Wish she got more support… had a bereavement recently… -
Depends on your definition of idiot. I use the term to describe someone of low intellectual capacity. But understand that this is now not used as seen to be offensive. In that respect he makes decisions that are good for him, and his close followers. Whether they are in the interests of the US that is open to debate (in the same way that history will debate all major leaders eg was Thatcher/Reagan good for the UK/US). On line definitions: An idiot is most commonly a term for a stupid, foolish, or senseless person, often used as an insult or to express frustration with someone's silly behavior, but historically it was a clinical term for profound intellectual disability, which is now considered offensive and obsolete. The word comes from Greek roots meaning a "private person" or layman, evolving to signify ignorance and lack of skill before becoming a derogatory label for low mental capacity. Modern Usage Self-deprecation: Used to describe one's own silly mistakes ("I felt like an idiot when I tripped"). Insult/Exclamation: A very foolish person or someone acting stupidly ("Don't be such an idiot!"). Historical/Obsolete Meaning Medical Classification: Once a technical term for someone with extreme intellectual disability (IQ below 25), a usage now rejected as offensive. Origin Greek (idiōtēs😞 A private citizen, layman, or someone lacking professional knowledge. Latin (idiota😞 An uneducated or ignorant person. The notable recent 'idiot' was Johnson who of course played the fool (lovable rogue) but that served him well So ultimately not a good word as it can be used in many ways. Ignorant is another good example - can be stupid, unaware, or simply rude. -
