I had that farmyard! Not the house - it was a jumble sale acquisition goodness knows how long ago. Had a rather nice little thatched cottage that went with it. Still have the cottage, but not the farmyard. Blimey, you do stir up some memories at times!

Just don't go getting agresive about it.

Yeah, I met that earlier. Rarely was an X more hastily clicked. It's like this monumental killjoy, trying to spoil all the fun.

That's a really good article, thank you. Must admit, I rather liked those shots of OR with the big white. They give an amazing sense of scale, which we don't often see. That's hardly an excuse though.

Yes. But without a trial, things are difficult. I don't know if the chance has been missed, or if it might still be possible. He's an idiot, but that's no defence. Any surviving victims ought to be given the chance to see him face charges though.

Slander! The Robin belongs at number 10. They look sweet, but they're vicious little blighters, that will peck a sparrow to death over a sunflower seed. Justice for the long-tailed tits! 😀

It's got to be difficult when it's your brother though. I don't know where we go from here without actually putting him on trial. Until then we have to assume innocence. FWIW, he is legendarily stupid. Probably easily manipulated by those seeking power. Actus reas, but no true mens rea?

Fascinating! Although from what I read at the time about Harry, he was upset because he wasn't allowed to be given security, and they also wouldn't allow him to bring his own. The head of MI5 said there had been serious threats against his son, so it was all a bit weird. Thanks for the funding info!

Wow! Had to look it up, and there's a paper called "Enigmatic and extravagant genitalia in the spider genus Mastigusa". Seems fitting. 😀

Sadly I feel that this will do more harm than good.

How lovely! And thank you for the free read, which I shall attempt to understand later. ;) It's great that you've found a way to honour somebody who sounds fascinating, and I'm sure he'd be pleased. Anything from the Ediacaran is bound to be interesting!

I suffer the same when people abbreviate dinosaur to dino. I will never not read it as if it were Dean Martin.

That's fascinating. Seems contrary to expectation too, as it suggests that the females look like males in order to avoid aggression over food sources. I would expect male on male aggression to be the norm, but perhaps hummingbird society has different rules.

White bread though?! Dear me, I'd expect a decent wholemeal from first class! ;)

Early on, is that shorts or an apron that she's wearing? It doesn't seem to know, and neither do I. She's got something on her back, too. It might be trying to be another acoustic guitar, but not quite succeeding. Then she leans against the counter, and it vanishes. 🙃

Better than anything else you'll watch this Halloween. 😱 😀

Congratulations, and many best wishes. 🥂

Noooo, it's not out in the UK until December! I want to read it *now*! 😀 I love those pictures. Can't wait to see the rest!

Thought I'd be pleased about that once. Not so sure now. He's become very conservative on trans issues, which is a disappointment. Had a lot of hope for him as a challenger for Trump not so long back.

Thank you.

They're weird about Michelle Obama too. So much weirdness. So much femininity gate-keeping. So much *hate*.

It is distinctly disturbing how the British government is still, not only using Twitter, but giving Musk money in order to do so. Despite him using that money in an effort to overthrow them, ffs.

Gods, I love the sea. 😎

That sounds great!

Being wrong is his hobby. Problem is, he seems good at convincing others that he's right.

But where's the fun in that? 😉

Oh, I know the answer to this one. It's Doug McClure.

But without Disney, which means we're probably back to series one again. Not through necessity, but largely just to annoy fans. 😀

I don't hear Zippy. But I listened to the song twice just to be sure, so thank you for that. :D

Nobody's ever been so low! They're the best worst ratings ever!
