Looking for an old post (that time we sent a Gareth Southgate Christmas decoration to @merchantshallyork.org if you're interested), and we stumbled on that time we TWANG-ed a bunch of stuff on our west wing.

Hope you enjoy the memory as much as we did.

Right, it's #TWANG* day, so we're going to twang a load of stuff with our mini-catapult. Pay attention it's science.

First, a tennis ball. By way of calibration, if you will.

But we know what you're all asking... What would happen if we filled that tennis ball with concrete?

*Not a thing.

Not while capitalists can derive money from the purchase of cars, insurance, and fuel. Electric cars are an alternative money stream, public transport is not.

The question is "did it pour properly?" Sometimes there is a disappointing style over function with tableware.

Technically, as only the descendants of those hanoverian immigrants are allowed to eat them, fibby mcfibface is correct...like a stopped 24 hour clock!

Just finished Will Adams' "Newton's Fire" a community library find i took a punt on and really enjoyed. And so it is ether a chapter for Thomas Williams "Lost Realms" or Chroter Hadleys "The Road", both a bit dry.Finishing off Zen and the Art of m/c Maintenance, I've not enjoyed, or 1/2

I always want to know what they mean by "proper English" people? The Huguenots, the Normans, the Angles, Saxons, Franks, Jutes, the Vikings, The Romans or the Brittonic tribes who came up from Iberea?

Britain is not a country of racist bigots.

Time for the decent majority to "take back control".

Repost if you agree.

Seems a shame if this was the day aliens contacted you and all they got was an out of office

Just need a few fit lads to pick the barriers up and stick them in the side of the road in order reclaim the safe space.

Yes and all my bins have the appropriate warning sticker applied....

Picture if a sticker from markthimasinfo.co.uk that states "Public Health Warning: Please Mind The Farage"
Farage is a noun naming the liquid residue found at the bottom of a dustbin.
There is an illustration of a wheelie bin stood in a puddle.

Compare the meteor and 262 and the latter seems much more advanced
