I am admitting to having to google Susan and Binky to know what you are talking about. Good old Google came through for me again.

Thank you for posting this. I thought it was just my American ignorance.

I will now go Google Susan and Binky.

Want me to magic it back for you?

Thank you for the offer. I went ahead and retyped it all. I will keep your offer in mind for the next time the site does this, though.

I too wondered what those 2 were doing with Made in Chelsea - (google took me there) but still none the wiser. Then I googled and had to find out what Discworld was. None the wiser really but know we are talking about a pale horse style of thing.

Sort of a Clint Eastwood-Rudolph Valentino-Notre Dame kind of thing?

@SaskiaKC that is so ridiculous who do these people think they are. Good on you for pulling him up and agree the staff should be enforcing their new rules. I’ve got to go back to my pharmacy!

Good news for you re the opening hours.

Hi Saskia, I think I saw that post, was it about the idiot at the pharmacy? tried to comment but it wouldn’t let me, if it was then the second guy deserved a slap in the mush, what an absolute numpty, you did well to retain your dignity.

Thank you so much, Trick. I guess you read it before the site and I deleted the first one. I just re-posted it.
Thank you for calling the guy a numpty; that is appropriate (and much more polite than what I started to call him in my post!

)
At least I think it is.

Good luck with your return trip to Boots.

(If you want anyone to run interference for you ...

) I would if I could ...

Hi @ianpspurs
I have had that several times today for this on this site , telling me I do not have permission to reply. I gave up in the end. So there is some bug in the site.

Thank you for the song, and the lyrics.

Yes it is. Synonym for Prime Minister as of July 2019. Allegedly he referred to a conversation regarding making more ventilators as Operation Last Gasp and thought he was funny.

I'm Dutch, so translating from Dutch to English is the wrong way for me. While my written English isn't too shabby, my active vocabulary in English is way smaller than in Dutch which makes translating very hard. Translating is completely different from telling your own story in that when telling your own story you can rearrange your words completely until they make sense...

I'm sorry.
Now you have got me trying to remember 40-plus years back and translating poetry etc. from German to English or vice versa!

Thank you very much.

As you see, I am back.
I guess I'm just closer to the end of my rope than I'd realized.
But I need y'all. I love you all.

Oh my ... goodness.

I am glad I now have a new word I can say out loud or at least under my breath!

Clownshoe is technically more accurate for our PM so you may wish to add that to your repertoire.

gennepher · Mar 20, 2020

I remember writing a poem when I was in Junior school so I was about 10/11 years old. It was.sort of the end of the world as I/we knew it, and then one day the birds came back to sing again...I still have it some where. I don't know where. It sort of feels valid now.

Maybe it's not. I need to find it.

Well, I wasn't going to post this link, since the song got the name of the bridge wrong (not the only one to do so), but I just happened to see it a couple of minutes ago, and it is cute, and since your link mentions sides of buses ...
Although previously I've pictured this sort of bus:

Maybe this song will make some of y'all smile too:

@ianpspurs Have you by any chance read Jeremiah 5 recently?

I will post only three verses here.

"Go up and down the streets of Jerusalem,
look around and consider,
search through her squares.
If you can find but one person
who deals honestly and seeks the truth
I will forgive this city.
...
"... I will go to the leaders
and speak to them;
surely they know the way of the Lord,
the requirements of their God."
But with one accord they too had broken off the yoke
and torn off the bonds.
...
"A horrible and shocking thing
has happened in the land:
The prophets prophesy lies,
the priests rule by their own authority,
and my people love it this way.
But what will you do in the end?"
