10.08.2025 17:23 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Now correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the reason the UK doesn't have firefighting planes is because, well, it isn't as hot and arid as the south of France etc, but also because of.... peat.
I read somewhere that fire planes would struggle to tackle a fire that got into peatland. It sounds off tbh
I thought it was Sir John Darts that invented the game... before his knighthood.

Dwight Yorke lived a couple of hundred metres from me.
He was a fantastic goal scorer. My school days pal was from Kiddie and he got us following them when Casey was in his prime.

09.08.2025 15:25 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0In Lichfield, there is a willow tree they have kept alive through cuttings for a long, long time. Dr Samuel Johnson mentioned it hundreds of years ago. I covet a cutting of that tree as I'm a big fan of Dr Johnson and a big fan of trees.
I asked the locals Johnson Society if I could have a piece
I reckon someone will try.

It seems a no-brainer.
It's no lie, they will be your friends. Sam has given me a lift when my car was off the road, and Andy and I recently spent a day at a salon. Matching haircuts!
All for £8 per month.
Never would have expected a Golden-ringed Dragonfly to pitch up in our urban garden. Completely the wrong environment for it but I'm not complaining! This a stunning male I think. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social @britishdragonflies.bsky.social

review
technically correct
The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988)
I could bear it.
Gangs of New York (2002)
Spot on, lots of gangs and set in NY.
The Last of the Mohicans (1992)
My pal sported a mohican in the 80s, hence the title is a misrepresentation
My Beautiful Laundrette (1985) review
It wasn't that beautiful
The Age of Innocence (1993)
There wasn't much on display.
My Left Foot (1989)
The left foot did feature copiously
