    You say that is if "us lot" are one sort of people and you another. Whereas we are all quite diverse eg I have never met people who keep animals (other than domestic pets) or produce off the land (other than the odd vegetable or herb).

    Indeed. I regard Gen's professional "world" and bugs's and lir's as at least as different from mine as PN's is.

    Phew. Caught up. :)
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    I've never really been into it. I didn't have my own telly until I was 30. My parents watched a few in the 60s/70s, but it's not really their thing and they'd have not had the attention span for it either.

    I remember when Mary Hopkin was singing in 1970, coming 2nd to Dana's "All Kinds of Everything".

    It's amusing more than anything - you get the odd cracker, but too political nowadays.

    I never learn and watch each year, although last year I had a good reason too.

    Austria is annoying me. Can't decide if the reactions are for the camera or for real.

    Molly looks like a bottom sixer. To be expected I suppose.
