Nothing worse than writing an email to a friend, then going over to FB and finding yourself bombarded with ads on the topic you were writing about in the email... Grrr! One of my major pet peeves.

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Gosh! That's a lifesaver!
Could you share the app details please?

[Beatrice]

Can they really do that? Does this happen? Pardon my ignorance!

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

We pardon our staff here Beatrice, unlike the UN! ;)

A man came and finished off the hole. The pavement is now dry, but still green from the pond weed.

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

What sre you talking about Bernard?

[Bernard]

Ha ha! Have you forgotten GB??? The hole in the pavement where the leak was. This was the final stage in the repair process.

Adele asked me the same question...

[Bernard]

Oh! Who is Adele?

[Beatrice]

Adele's Don't you remember is a lovely number

[Bernard]

Oh THAT Adele! But songs should be in the "music" thread .....

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Yes that Adele! And yes. Posted with apologies.

Hello. I am a debut Author. My new book "Orphans of an Angel" has just been released today on Amazon Kindle. The paperback is available for Pre Order for delivery 8 August 2020.
As my book has only just been released, REVIEWS and BLOGGERS would be appreciated.
The book is a tragic true story of a mother with four boys who struggles against destitution and deteriorating health. It is set in a coal mining village near Sheffield.

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Good to know Jay. But we have a separate folder for book promotion.

A second wave of Maoism: A Maoist group in Lewes, UK, claim to have infiltrated three undercover members onto the council.

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Uh oh? Was it on the telly?

[Bernard]

I read it in the paper. I do not think there are sufficient peasants in Sussex to support a Maoist revolution.

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Ideologies are difficult to perceive

[Bernard]

True. Not all of Mao's followers were peasants.

I have heard that the Russians are working on a 1 megawatt device.

You seem to hear lot from that part of the world :)))

[Bernard]

I collect data from every country which is a member of the United Nations.

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Well done you! And what do you do with this date dare I ask? :))

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

*data. Also what about the other nations???? It's very unfair!

[Jason]

Are you serious or joking GB?

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

What do you think Jason?

[Bradley]

Our moderators often have lively conversations down here. Nothing to be worried about Jason.

[Bernard]

The conversations can be lively, and surreal, and sometimes amusing.

President Trump must have great confidence in how well his hair is attached to his head. I am more careful with mine.

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

He doesn't seem very perturbed by the odd angle.
