we are now free to travel. which broadens the mind. apparently. If you are our age (mid 60's) then you must realise, from henceforth, we are left behind. My missus complains that our daughters use the 'Muuuuuuum salutation as a means of describing idiocy. If they knew the half of what we,singly and together 'got up to' before they were born, they would have a hard job believing it. Lucky for them we will never ever tell them.

addendum: in 2 parts

a) if I had my wits about me at the time and knew then what I know now etc I would never have agreed to a 'family' Christmas when my wife's parents would descend and reduce my wife to tears within the hour and

b) watch grumpy old men/women at Christmason youtube to know you are not alone.

stay strong y'all tis only once a year

I never wanted to hold a snake but was obliged to when my son left the nest and left behind Snakey. His pet from his reptillion days. I was left holding the snake as it were as Snakey needed to be looked after. My holding a snake is on a par with your fear of heights.

The guy/girl who says nothing all bus journey but as the door

opens to get out strikes up a conversation with a long

lost mate whilst everyone waits to move on :)

Great, a thread for me.


Why does everyone (including older people) walk round looking at a screen. Why can't I go to gigs any more (and this will soon include the theatre) as so many people video the whole event, or worse spend their time texting or tweeting their views, or even worse play that candy thingy game.


Why has the anticompetitive Apple corporation got so many of us by the short and curlies. Why hasn't the might of the US legal system / antitrust system taken them on when they are brave enough to take on Fifa.


Why have we made Britain, in particular London, a safe haven for money laundering, in particularly in property.


Where have all the good pubs gone, and why do you lot drink expensive fizzy beer because it is 'craft'


Me, I'd rather spend my time moaning on this forum. None of these points above are for debate, just humour me!


Happy New Year.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By vladi · Posted

      Using the smart CCTV cameras is your best strategy - particularly if they have adequate infra-red capability. Setting them to be triggered by line crossing or areas of intrusion is worthwhile setting up as is linking them to a PIR sensor. The PIR could also be used to activate a sounder but that might upset your other neighbours. I have a few cameras around our property and I enjoy reviewing the recordings and apart from foxes and birds, I catch the occasional opportunistic thief on camera - like this one last Tuesday. If you need any help, please drop me a PM. S7.mp4

      Not in Ed, but I was in NE England over the weekend and saw an otter in the wild! Never seen one before, it was quite lovely.

      Well unless the heron got them later, there were the  two cootlets. I think some others of this year's babies must have escaped the heron. Many years ago (and possibly still, though I never see them any more) there was a whole heron family on the island  - mum, dad and youngster. I don't know how long herons live. Maybe this one is the grown up youngster.

      Neighbourhood police, they often get called in for neighbourhood 'disputes', although if you have been Southwark ASBU perhaps you have already explored this
