Could go that way, Jah Lush, was hopeing for amusing/satirical type moans, like LadyDeliah's post.


Elephants don't half stomp their feet when they walk, especially if they're obese.

Our neighbours at the back knocked on the door to complain about the woodpecker that was going mental every morning about 4 o'clock - it was drilling into a bird box on the pear tree..... Neighbours wanted me to 'do something about it' and 'couldn't control that bird' - errr, no.....
Not sure whether to laugh or cry. A poor woodpecker's raison d'etre is compromising their sleep for a few days in spring and they want it stopped? Send it my way, I love the noise they make, reminds me of living in the country. Ditto curlews in early spring, skylarks in summer, geese in autumn and a robin singing on a cold, clear winter day.

    • My wife lost a gold hoop earring with faux diamonds somewhere between Peckham Rye and Herne Hill on Tues 11 Nov. It's about an inch diameter with an interesting 'twist' pattern. She'd be extremely grateful to get it back on the off chance that anyone has found it! 
    • Sorry if this is bullying, or name calling or whatever  but anyone quoting Rupert Lowe is just never ever going to have a valid point  several people misreported  that line not just the bbc - seems to have been a mishearing and I’ve seen plenty of corrections   So I don’t think it was a lie (it remains a curious distinction tho why say foreigners and nationals at all   If you want to bring back the death penalty why mention this distinction?)  
    • I agree with HeadNun that impartiality is crucial to good, trustworthy journalism and that in this case the BBC fell short of the high standards we expect of them, also that this has led to a situation that puts the BBC in an almost impossible situation and has given fuel to those that want to destroy or control it. That said, I also agree with Sephiroth that there is an even more important issue at stake here that we must not allow to be overshadowed and that the motivation of Trump on that day was not essentially misrepresented. I think it is terrifying that Trump may be capable of muzzling and destroying an institution like the BBC, as at the same time he perpetuates  a narrative and furore that aides him as he repeatedly seeks to draw attention away from his own undoubtedly criminal behaviour. I think the BBC has to fight this and only hope that in the process they/we are not bankrupted.
