It is reported (in the Bristol Post, amongst many other red-tops I think) that whilst offering no threat to people, these Harlequin ladybirds, blown in from abroad, carry STIs which impact our native ladybirds. Interestingly that is a similar problem that our native red squirrel faces from the New World Greys.

These are wonderful 'foreigners are awful' stories from the popular press - no doubt the next set of headlines will demonstrate how these Harlequins are reducing house prices and taking our jobs.

On the search thing (Chrome/Google) on my mobile I get a load of "articles for you" underneath the search box, which in weak moments I read. I have a lot of weak moments :))


Despite supposedly having identified subjects I am interested in, I still get mainly crap, and you're right. The Express does this all the time, and it's REALLY annoying.


I had never previously noticed that it was only the Express which did this, but I've just looked, and it is.

    • I personally think is a great idea Bobbly and would love if there was a section for it. I wouldn't offer free gardening under the "for sale" section as I would expect something in exchange and wouldn't expect our cat being looked after for free under the "wanted" section, as an example.
    • Looking for used decking boards. Should be hardwood
    • I have fond memories of Govinda's I used to go there  back in the 90's (maybe earlier) for an affordable tasty lunch..I was wondering if its still around. Now I have to make a point of going there. Does anyone else remember a really affordable basement cafe run by the church in a street off of Golden Square? parallel to Regent Street? I also used to love the Vegetarian cafe on Neal Street in the basement (Neal Street Cafe?) and there was an inczredible inexpensive authentic Japanese resturant I use to go to with my Japanese friends (who introduced me to it) tucked away behind Long Acre where that brown brick modern building ('modern' I think it went up in the 90's!) now stands that fronts Long Acre and Neal Street..I think it was called Asakasa or something?
    • I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?
