Dear BlueSkyers. Sadly I'm getting many reports of scammers pretending to be me here, incl messaging people with 'investments' . Pls share/help me spread word that, as you know, THIS IS MY ONLY BLUE SKY account (proved as my handle is an official MoneySavingExpert one). All others are scams

More interesting was Trump and Obama chatting away.

I’m looking at getting all military records for various people in my tree. Have ordered my fathers from The National Archives (UK) but it will take over a year to receive them! Have many male relatives who died in WW1 also. Also double checking anything I missed from 1921 census now on Ancestry.

Glad it’s not just me who wonders why they all begin with letter A.

Seen it. I found a relatives details using it on Find My Past but does not come up on Ancestry transcription. Nothing in life is easy so it seems!

Sepia toned black and white photo of four stout gentlemen posing for a group portrait, two are seated in the front, two standing in the back, with a rug-covered small table between them all. On the table is an ornate chalice and a shorthaired tabby cat.

I don’t know the story behind this photo so I’m going with “Gentlemen’s Cat Appreciation Society”. Ca. 1860 - 1880. www.historicnewengland.org/explore/coll...

If you get it, thank a teacher. If you just laugh... eewe

£1.40. Good value back then! Now it’s £5.95 and rubbish. Better spent on a book.

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

If you think about it, the very best books are really just extremely long spells that turn you into a different person for the rest of your life

We don’t seem to learn.

That’s so lovely!

Probably worst story in news for long time. Failures everywhere. When I heard that Surrey County Council have over 4000 cases a month, I despair. What is wrong with people and society?

The Media won't acknowledge this video of the farmers blocking an ambulance with its blue lights on so could you could RT it so people see it?

Hey. You might need this today

There are Rabbits. And some of them are pissed off

Please avoid this road Tree on electric cables at Crebilly Cemetery
