Well I grew up there so I think that counts! Besides it was also my nick-name when I served in the Forces.

He's a bit fit, that Brum lad.... I can offer a luxurious, comfy hug that he never could. It does look like he could offer many other things than that, though.


Nay, sir, keep your cricket bat held high (or whatever you do in cricket).


I fancy a pint later on, anyone?

No, no. Winter is mating season (or at least that's when the courting starts - Spring is when you see the...er...offspring). I reckon the singletons (me) start accepting that yet another summer has passed and the high temps and high spirits which bring the promise of love are no more, and so a more proactive, pragmatic approach is required. It's an unwillingness to accept yet another year of defeat, another New Years Eve with nobody to kiss, another cold dark winter with nobody who wants to warm their hand (and heart) in yours. As the happy couples wrap up warm, and become enclosed in their hibernatory burrows and warrens, it's time for those who have not managed to gather their nuts over autumn (if you will) to venture ever further, try ever harder, to provide for themselves through the coming hardships.


Yes, fellow solitary explorers, it is time for us to strike out; to find new lands. To perhaps find warm, sweet pastures on which to nourish our faintly beating hearts.


So, who's for the pub?

    • There was good item on Radio 4’s consumer affairs programme You &Yours on 1st December. It was about these CIC fund raising scams and refers to this We R Blighty mob in particular (they have been successfully prosecuted twice and fined for their activities in the City of London). Also mentioned the “knife crime charity” lot who also show up in ED. The advice was to give them nothing and that they are breaking the law. It’s on the BBC Sounds app or via this link  (the item starts at 41m51s in): https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n065      I think you know perfectly well that is not what the poster is saying. There are a lot of CICs (there are now 37,000 of them) that have been set up specifically to mislead the public into handing over money. This We R Blighty is one such. These are the details of one of the cases against them in the City last month: https://news.cityoflondon.gov.uk/we-r-blighty-told-to-pay-out-thousands-over-illegal-collections/
    • Are you saying all CICs are dodgy? I think that’s totally unfair.
    • Similar deal to those Hive City guys who also camp outside of M&S, also a dodgy CIC rather than a charity
