That's pretty much what we do. There's patches of grass which the council cut, but they do it so infrequently it gets long. Nobody uses the land apart from the occasional dog walker. I have noticed in some areas the council leave patches of wild flowers so we're in hope that they leave a patch if they're noticed. No harm in trying.

Also there's a large car park nearby which is next to playing fields. To stop cars getting onto the grass there's large banks of grass, sort of a dirt wall (don't know what to call it). We put some on these. Not quite a meadow but better than just grass.

I've been upset for about 10 years or so. I used to use the Love Film service where I got two Blu-ray at a time posted to me. The company was bought my Amazon. Ok, don't like Amazon but that's fine, I like the service still. They then incorporate it into their Prime package. I didn't want anything else, just discs by post. To retain the disc service it cost more than just prime as prime was a requirement. They sneaked Prime onto my account without me realising and the price went up. They were phasing people from discs to online by making it the cheaper option. They then phased the disc service out altogether.

They literally bought Love Film to shut it down.

I'm was happy renting blurays. I switched to buying Blu-ray for a while but I have no where to keep a collection. So I have up and switched to Kodi.

Quite sad really. I still have what were then two good quality Blu-ray players now collecting dust. I sometimes look at them and think one day...

I don't know where my wife sourced them but she has packets of wild flower seeds. We (wife, son, and me) enjoy making bee bombs together at home and dropping a few when we go out. It's good fun to make at home.

I remember my mum telling me it was sleeping when I asked if it was dead. I doubted it and it led to discussions with my sisters and cousins. We would all look at the tin at my grandma's house. Happy, simple times

Not in the UK. I don't know why but on the 4 channels I had I still managed to watch it.

That guy from Short Circuit, Benjamin. It wasn't until I was an adult I found out the actor wasn't Indian.

See you at Rolf's cartoon club. Next week.

A lot of it is cultural and does/will get better in time. But there's always going to be pockets of these people unfortunately. My wife is from Asia and sadly the verbal racism is mostly from young people. I guess they just find it funny amongst their friends.

Different colour tops for different types of milk. Gold top (cap) was the full fat milk which had cream on the top. Whether it's true or not I don't know but he said the EU banned it because of it's high fat content.

There was a bloke at work who pretty much said that. And that he wants gold top milk back...

It's sort of backfired for idiots like that. The care homes and hospitals in my area now have a wider diversity of staff, the people these idiots don't like the look of. Brexit restricted the supply of the people they like the look of.

I used it for a short time when it first came out. I went back for another look recently. I haven't a clue what is what. So much going on. I thought I don't wish to spend the time learning something I probably will use a couple of times a week.

Is this what getting old feels like?

Mass effect 1 for sure. I was amazed by the game play and more so the story line. Incredible game.

There was a short period after I heard the term Third World where I thought there was more than one world in our solar system and this is where Africa was. That was a strange few days.

The pink oboe.

If I see young people of that age group it sometimes makes me remeber of when I was that age and the fun I did/could have had. Nothing in me wants to engage with any of that at all anymore. Just happy care free memories.

A few years ago a friend had a 40th birthday and his gf arranged a night out. She took us to a night club in a university city. It was such an odd experience. We left pretty fast.

Not disagreeing about the cruel part but some of these birds live and breed because of humans. They survive in place where they couldn't without humans.

NHS. Despite people complaining about it and funding problems it is still amazing. My sister in-law is in Asia and has cancer. Even with health insurance from her job it's still insanely expensive. She basically can't afford treatment. Getting sick is bad enough but imagine that with the worry of money.

I work for a a UK food manufacturer which did export 40% to the EU. The added costs of getting food over to EU resulted in the sales teams having to renegotiate the selling prices to EU customers. Most basically said no. Why should they pay a higher price when they can source the same type of product within the EU at a lower price. The big EU buyers stopped trading with us.

When politicians say businesses need to adapt I really have no idea what they have in mind when they say that. We are not in a position to demand customers pay more. And most businesses aren't in a position to swallow additional costs. The only reason our business didn't sink is because it's part of a much larger group so was able to flatten out the financial impact by borrowing internally.

I'm starting to think "adapt" means tough shit.

Makes me wonder what else there is which hasn't been discovered and reported.

I felt like I needed one this morning. Instead I got the longest turd I've ever seen. It hit the water before it left my arse.
