Thanks mate 👍

Yes, as winter approaches, the setting sun will retreat further south, and dip behind the horizon over the Welsh hills, rather than the Irish Sea 🌄

I worry about hedgehogs, who may have settled down underneath for hibernation 🦔🦔🦔

Yes, 5th November is Bonfire Night in the UK. It will have a few more tiers on by then! 😱

I suspect that when some people get ridiculed for supporting a daft conspiracy theory, they feel compelled to go 'all in', down any rabbit hole, and view everyone who is thinking more critically as their enemy.

Very sad case of that woman who persuaded her daughter not to have cancer treatment 😥

Let me guess .... buys into:

* British Empire still exists
* Flat earth
* Chem trails
* Fake moon landings
* Anti vax
* Covid denier
* 5G masts controlling us, etc, etc.

Even when presented with good or irrefutable evidence, will conclude 'that's just part of the conspiracy'.

Beyond help!

That is a worry then ... I have the app but very rarely use it tbh.

I think you can change the payment method to 'pay cash to driver', which is a bit of a faff, but maybe the better option if they're having technical issues with fare deductions via the app?

Have you maybe included a tip percentage in settings?

Is it true that if you throw snails over the fence into a neighbour's garden, they have a homing instinct, and find their way back?

Maybe tennis racqueting them about 6 doors away would buy your fruit and veg some much needed time? 🎾🐌

It's all feels so-thinly veiled and disingenuous.

The timing, and stealthy nature of putting the flags up, speaks volumes about motive.

Can these people not just be honest, rather than hiding being the flag, that they are marking 'their' territory, and sending a message to people they hate?

What an excellent point!

Schools segregated by sectarianism or fees do little to promote community cohesion do they, but rather, accentuate differences.

I'm sure Jenrick would wish to take this issue forward, on the basis of his genuine concern and desire for integration?

Yes, tbf, I can't argue with any of that, and as a fella of advancing years, it does seem excessive..... but on the other hand, I remember how exciting bonny night was when I was a kid, and
I know a lot of the youngsters buzz off it. Another benefit is it keeps the North Face Ninjas occupied.

I'm a bit concerned about the carbon footprint 🤔

Anyway, bonny night hasn't been the same since the demise of bangers and metal bins!

I don't know this to be the case, but I heard the council would like the Woody and North End bo fires not to happen, on safety grounds, but feel somewhat powerless, given the nature of the organisers. 🤔👀
