Ever paid a "white van man" to dispose of your rubbish? This often ends up being dumped in the Hills & can result in a prosecution for you, not the van owner. Use only trusted services or arrange your own trip to your local dump. Local Councils can arrange kerbside collection for bulkier items.

My liege, we are off hunting. Have you brought your falcon? Nay for I have brought my snail.

We are looking at a manuscript of a hare sat on a fearsome looking greyhound. The hare is wearing a gauntlet on which sits a snail who is absolutely up for the hunt.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

It's a good time of year to be looking out for the distinctively-shaped Trashline Spider Cyclosa conica. It often embellishes its closely-woven orb web with a line (stabilimentum) of food remains or other debris ('trash'). Widespread, usually in shaded shrubs and trees, across Britain.

The RNLI rescued Luftwaffe pilots in WW2 because the organisation is there to 'save life at sea' - it's something to be immensely proud of. But as I've said many times before Farage and Co don't seem to have pride in Britain and its institutions beyond flags and crap Enoch Powell said 60 years ago.

What on earth is happening?

This had become the new normal. RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised, recognised for TV interviews he had done.
