Dunno - I very nearly died of severe pneumonia in 2016. Sorry that’s probably not helping. Hope you feel better soon.

To explain - Prison and gaol / jail are all the same in the UK. We have different security levels and categories but the meaning is the same.

Christian fundamentalist who hates modern pagans even more than Islam. Suspect he’d like to bring back burning at the stake.

Beautiful kitty. I’d call him Hugo (after the 2011 film). It’s in the eyes.

Explain to me how he’s allowed to do this like I’m British and we have a plethora of laws protecting our historic buildings.

It is a great film. Always surprised it didn’t get a better reception.

Don’t blame her - I’m a middle-aged, white British woman and I won’t visit my family in the US.

Loved Chicago when I visited from the UK - one of my favourite cities.
Took the train in from the airport (everyone told me to get a cab) and morning runs round the lake shore.
Everywhere has its problems but as a solo white female traveller never once felt unsafe.
Good luck to you all 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

It’s a toxic hell hole, best avoided.

My Gen Z boys are 19 & 21 - decent, respectful, kind, funny, employed / studying, over 6’, genuinely like women, support equality and hate the podcast manosphere stuff. Both are single. The dating ‘process’ for their generation seems to have become horribly complex and toxic.

Amphitheatre at Termessos

Amphitheatre at Termessos

It was quite physical - we did Olympos the day after, much easier going, though hotter. Def worth a return trip. The Amphitheater is something else.

Also for people with obviously similar interests (I found you by searching Perge 🤣) but not the academic background where in Greece would you recommend please that aren’t the normal top sites?

We just found the same plus Museum of Antalya randomly ‘temporarily closed too’ - hope you made it to Termessos, we loved it there.

Yes definitely noticed that in the last week or so

Oooh I’m off to Turkey on Friday wonder if there’ll be empty seats on the plane.

This shouldn’t be ‘earners’ - earners implies income for work, this is wealth. They’re very different.

The US should bring in gun control laws and call them Charlie’s Law - perfect tribute.

The US should bring in gun control laws and call them Charlie’s Law in tribute to Kirk.

I just posted about how different the reactions are, from what I can see as a Brit living in the UK.
I’m pleased some folks are still remembering the seemingly very decent lady and her husband.

I note, from the distant perspective of the UK, very different reactions from Trump, MAGA and the US Media to the murder of Charlie Kirk vs Melissa Hortman and her husband.

Can we all join in?

We do, but can you imagine the difference if Rudakubana (Southport murderer) had access to an assault rifle instead of a knife.

We should tell him to do one but depressingly probably won’t.

I’ve worked in London most of my life but grew up and live in rural England.
