Baggins

Working my way through ‘The Misfits’ series by Simon Brading. Excellent. A steam punk alternative to the Battle of Britain and so on. First of the series is Battle Over Britain ;-)

Why is a) He even in there? b) still wearing that stupid hat?

Fingers crossed.

What they said.

It says there are at least two of us!

‘Food, water, heating and electricity are not that expensive’

Should have mentioned I’m in UK. That sentence doesn’t apply anymore.

I never understood why some people insist on owning property. Especially more than one. Never really able to afford it myself. The Army (UK) cushioned me for a while and then when I left, there was no way to get a mortgage. Maybe if I’d saved instead of enjoying myself. Too late now though.

Like Russia, North Korea, Iran or China? In that case we need to hold accountable the head of the company promoting these sort of posts. Musk.

Exactly. It’s her, her husband and his golf clubs.

Meet my sister in law. Hardly goes anywhere as she can’t park it. Doesn’t visit my wife anymore as she says out car park is too small. Even though workmen and delivery vans get in and out OK. She had a Peugeot 208 which she could park anywhere, but ‘upgraded’ to a 3008 to fit in with her posh friends. She’s retired. And lives in Hertford UK. Not known for it’s wide sweeping vistas. FFS.

Not all heroes wear capes.

You’re doing good work there, keep it up 😉

Here in Hertfordshire UK, I use BorrowBox on my phone S23 or an older Samsung tablet I use an an e-reader.

It’s linked to my local library (Ware) but not the best selection. My biggest gripe is that they’ll only have a couple of books from most of the series out there.

You’ll get book 1 or book 3, but hey, I’m not (directly) paying for them so it’s not the worst thing.

I have no idea what the blacklight mode is for, but it’s a feature.
You can check if banknotes/driving licences* are counterfeit, and if you turn the lights off in your bathroom and then look at the toilet with the blacklight, you’ll be more thorough when you clean it!

Just realised, you could use it in hotels as well :-(

• We have a desk mounted one at work as part of security checks on driver’s licences.

Edit - I have about a dozen reuseable bags in my car, not wives :-)

Is it just me or does that guy look like Jon Snow?

Needs more Tolkein!

I imagine it’s pretty much the same in UK - a lot of the people using them for work might be better off with a small van.

But then, they don’t look ‘manly’ do they?

SUDS? HOOHA? It gets more like The Onion every day.

That led me down a rabbit hole of London history :-)

Because it’s cool.

Apparently.

I’d like to see all noisy bikes and cars seized and crushed. And the owner billed for the work and time.
