He's just upset that Alf of Wessex has a nice holiday home in Athelney and is the guy who put those pesky vikings in their place 🤷‍♂️

Stop inflicting your prejudices on others. Cool white has it's place and I like the clarity it brings.

That is quite a glorified word salad that she presents. I would also guess it's composed by AI.

Agreed, the new version is crap, loses important functionality, and yes I am actively looking to find the best alternative.

Whilst I agree with the overall premise, the cyclist who rode through the red light on the pedestrian crossing whilst I was walking across with my dog is inmy opinion a complete and utter cunt.

Adopt a rescue dog and look after it well and you too could become one of the good guys.

As a chemist, washing hands both before and after urinating became quite normal. Of particular note was estimation of scoville units.

Whatever they prefer, it's quite easy to ask, be polite and respectful. BTW, Prof & Dr are also appropriate titles that may be used.

I've seen the article and I would contend it is scare mongering. Modern methods of metal analysis detect very small quantities of heavy metals. Something being detected does not equate to it being at a level that causes harm. There are regulatory limits in the UK and EU for metals in animal feeds.

Could you share the link. I spent some of my career analysing animal feeds and one of my areas of expertise is heavy metals. Melamine contamination was a big issue causing kidney failure.

Have a good day. Had mine last weekend (a few extra circuits around the sun!). Took the dog to sand bay beach at Weston and had a "breakfast" in a dog friendly pub.

My usual response to someone spouting Braverman's sort of racist bollocks is to draw attention to the "British" royal family.

It's all for the greater good. I'm also sure the Swan has nothing to do with it.

There may be an innocent explanation, or possibly they were nefarious characters out to steal diesel or heating oil from the area. That could explain why they were released on bail.

Few years ago, my sister needed surgery to her finger after her beloved cat bit her. Major infection ensued. Cats may look small and harmless, but they can be surprisingly deadly.

With that backward attitude Kai, you wouldn't be working with me. Mind you I welcomed a mother with her baby into an interview as she couldn't get childcare. She also got the job.

I think he's a tad confused, the "gimp quotient" to which he refers could well be those black clad, mask wearing buffoons shouting at lifeboats.

My mother decided that one of my brothers was undeserving, so wrote her will to give his 1/4 of her estate to his children.

In my neck of the woods, old cemeteries do this job quite well. We also have nature reserves in the city, so OP is behind the curve.

I was sat in the chair and he climbed on top of me and went to sleep. Head on my shoulder, sat on my lap. Couldn't move for 45 mins 😄

I had a job where testing of alcoholic beverages was one of the tasks. 2mL for the test, the rest went to waste (eventually)

Idiot. You are clearly unaware of the contribution by the polish people to the defeat of fascism, Enigma, 303 Squadron, Polish Navy, and the thousands of soldiers serving in N Africa, France and Italy. I would argue that Poland is at the frontline against Russia.

Mate, I live in a city with a diverse population. The biggest problem is Anglo Saxon males being drunk, assaulting women, and being general idiots. You are a textbook racist who has swallowed right wing propaganda hook line and sinker.
