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?

    • a (clean) nappy/pamper, it was like it had snowed in the garden.  The absorbent stuff inside spread everywhere.  Can I have my gardening gloves back please.
    • They've left all kinds of things in my garden including gardening gloves and shoes, not to mention scavenged food and packaging. Once they left an unopened vacuum pack of smoked trout, the next day some pita bread. All a bit biblical.
    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.  
    • I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
