The ark programme was quite interesting. I still find the idea that anything that size was built by these people as a bit fanciful. It would take bloody ages to build a boat that size without modern tools, and with no forewarning of such an epic storm there's no way you'd commit so much time and resources when you've got things like day-to-day survival to worry about. Building the one they did was a huge task and that was smaller than the things mentioned in the tablet.

I don't necessarily disagree but with one point. People do amazing things for art and religion. Stone henge must have taken some time and resources ( if not timber, then time, possibly trade and who knows what happened along the way).
The time ( and often human loss) we have put in to ' waste' for art and belief or preference has always been one of our little 'foibles'.0 -

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.

Tbh, I don't know. Never had them near a house not controlled by bigger furries, on a yard its harder to tell because its bigger and there are a whole load other smells. Not that I have noticed is all I can say, but I really don't know what that should be because they SHOULD smell I guess.
Dead mouse in the house reeks. Oh my. Oymyohmy. That smell of death till gone, thank goodness that isn't a feature of my every day life.
I tried to suggest to pink whistley I'd like to make the bed this morning but she's made a cocoon in it, pulling the duvet around her, so she was on top and now is surrounded, like the sausage in sausage roll, just her face visible but not stinging out. I'll have to do it later I guess.0 -

One of my two cats. Usually she is here telling builders or gardeners how to do their jobs, or off hunting. She Is highly opinionated and has a very loud voice. But she is also a snuggler of extraordinary snugglability, and loves making beds in things.0 -

You could get a cat, perhaps? It would see off the rats, so an immediate £30 saving there.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0
