Why do we need the files of a dead man when we have live survivors?

The real mad f**kers are the people that prop these lunatics up with money, praise and by giving them business

There is, or was, a Volvo pickup in Ellaston, near Alton Towers. I always assumed it was home made. There is also an Austin Maxi pickup just down the road from my house. I assume they were for the Australian market as I have never seen another

On this day in 1932, a Czech Jewish girl was born. She was deported to Theresienstadt, with her parents, and on the 4 Apr 1942 and on the 28 Oct 1944 to Auschwitz where they perished. Her sister survived the Shoah. Her name was Eva Liana Kirschnerovรก

Peanut butter and Marmite, (or Bovril) - now that's good on toast.
People go on about Marmite but Bovril never gets mentioned even though it's made by the same people in Burton on Trent - just has beef extract added and to me tastes more or less the same, but better

I have only seen a Kingfisher twice. Once quite near Salisbury Cathedral and once in Markeaton Park in Derby, very close to the A38. Whenever I am in the park I keep a lookout and hope to see another

I have managed 73 years on this earth and had never heard of a PB&J sandwich until what it stood for was a question on the Weakest Link last night - I feel I have had a lucky escape. It sounds revolting and very American

You are fighting for the free world and I am ashamed you aren't getting more help but I believe victory is certain and that Putin will be beaten by your brave nation

Never let that man near serious positions of power and better still get rid of him before he does any more damage

I do miss some of the random people I met on twitter years ago before it was destroyed by Musk but it was going downhill even before he took over

As soon as I see anything to do with Reach I look away. Click bait trash - hopefully they will destroy themselves by continuing to publish time wasting bilge

Diplomats worldwide, please stop and think:
Palestine is being used as the laboratory to dismantle UN-led multilateralism. We can still pedal back and take another road: as a human family.
โžก๏ธEnd the genocide and apartheid in Palestine.
โžก๏ธRespect intl law.
โžก๏ธPractice SOLIDARITY.

It would be interesting to know how many man hours these hill forts took to build and how they were defended?
