sanity girl - sadly not, I may have managed to stay awake otherwise :)


It was likely finance-related, guaranteed to send me to zzzzzz - or make me laugh if we're playing management-buzzword bingo.

This picture from yesterday's Standard in a piece about motorbike track days. He's going to have to go a lot faster, or indeed just move and take his bike off the stand, if he wants to get his knee down...

"Controversial BrewDog has previously been criticised for 32% and 41% strength beers."

Holy cr*p, changes the whole 'I'll just pop in for one pint' a bit....hmmmmm


Those bottles are so wrong, but so funny.

It's not a good week for animals. Try this.

I find it rather shocking an not what you expect from the Torygraph. This is my favourite bit.


A spokesman for English Heritage said: "This was a very rare incident".


I don't want to be too controversial here, but I'm thinking the dog was asking for it. What do you think?

    • Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ? 
    • Sadly, a lot of businesses didn't invite reviews on the EDF at that time due to a number of "negative nellies" that would take delight in posting unfavourable comments, often despite never being to the business in question.  No matter how good the place was, some posters would find fault that wasn't there "don't lile the colour of the bidet set in the private bathroom, avocado 😅" Can hardly blame businesses at the time for not wanting reviews on here, thankfully that has mostly changed now.   
    • Was that the Hare Krishna place? I can't remember exactly where it was (or maybe still is) but it was somewhere around Oxford Street.
    • The "for sale" section on this forum lets people offer things for free or cheaply. And the "wanted" section let's people ask for things they want or need, for free or cheaply. There are also existing schemes like Freecycle, and also local  food banks. And there is (or was) a local scheme where you can bring things to be repaired free. I think it is/was based in Nunhead. Isn't that simpler than having a barter system? You might have something to give away, but the person who wants it might not have anything you want. Or have I misunderstood how it works? I can see that offering services free might not fit into existing schemes, but depending on what they were, what would happen if things went horribly wrong eg someone wrecked your house? Sorry if the above sounds very negative.
