For what it’s worth, I’m really enjoying this latest revival of the show. Don’t let it be censored.

That’s why I don’t borrow from PLs either (high five) - shame really as I feel there’s more choice than what’s available on Borrow Box.

This is incredibly disappointing.. I was looking forward to seeing the film too. You’d think Penguin would do their research first before publishing it. #TheSaltPath

2 And what is is with these weird cinematic quality like ‘comedic / interview’ videos that crop up in my feed. Stop being so facetious & just FO 😤

3 And why have news & click bait headlines in social media gone into doomsday overdrive?

I detest AI

1. How it intrusively features in search engine & I can’t seem to switch it off without making an epic journey into settings. DuckDuckGo seems to be the only SE that hasn’t followed the trend.

Depressed at the growing tide of garish turquoise spreading across England. I blame an insipid Labour leadership for this mess. Unless they change direction, Labour will lose more votes & Reform will almost certainly take areas in Wales too 😫

Sign the Petition Prevent the Relocation of Our Public Library in Llandudno

It seems that the historic Llandudno Library is in danger of being relocated to an ‘unpopular’ location…. Sign this petition against the council’s shortsighted plan.

Sort of.. i put it in the dry box and i could hear something,but it was very distorted and gushy. Luckily they sent me another one in exchange. I don’t know how they got there, but the magnet bit stuck to the dishwasher without me realising. Hubby discovered it dangling at the back 2 days later.

Not saying all men are megalomaniacs, but the ones that have caused death, poverty, destruction are nearly always men. Women as leaders will probably be much safer.

Men should be banned from becoming leaders of their countries.

It seems PubMed has disappeared. This is the digital equivalent of burning a library.

Lockerbie is actually such a compelling drama to watch. Colin Firth is magnificent. Unfortunately, I got hugely irritated with him because he doesn't know how to wear fuggin hearing aids!! 🤦🏼
