Will you be covering the false belief in transgenderism? Or will they? It includes plenty of evangelicals.

Men didn't wear mourning dress, did they?

It's the Daily Mail! More fools them! If its readers expect authority and integrity they're reading the wrong paper.

Could it be described as a form of self-flagellation, in the expectation of praise for one's devotion to suffering?
Musk practices it himself, as described in the BBC documentary about him, even sleeping in the office and expecting his staff to do the same, though the results were questionable.

True, but logic is beyond the pretenders.

A for effort?

That's sad.
There are some beautiful Elms just outside the village which have escaped disease too.

My ash trees have been immune so far. Hope they stay that way.

Had another power cut later, as I was about to cook a meal, so had a sandwich instead by the light of a camping lamp.
As the increasing number of storms threaten my power supply, I've ordered a camping stove, a portable radio and a couple of torches.
Insulation keeps me warm, house and body.

Ah. We have the BBC.

What? None of it?

True, but some of my friends and family don't use social media.
The village and community shop pages are useful as I can't get out and about. They share things like news of road closures, events and stuff. Some roads are flooded today, which my carers need to be warned about.

Yes, will get one.
I used to have a cooker with a gas hob, so power cuts weren't a problem, but replaced it last year with an all-electric one. Gas isn't environmentally friendly, but I miss it.

I'm trying, but he's often in the news.
