That’ll be a stercore anulum, to give it its Latin name.

You may remember our hawfinch email conversation.

Only this time it was eyes not a microphone and AI!

Avocados are *glorious* for those 30 minutes between hard soapy yuk and black mush yuk.

Did you gig while you were here? If so I’m annoyed I missed it. Maybe next time.

Ok, that’s that fear set aside. It’s just the fireworks then.

Always been to frightened to buy a house with a thatched roof. I'd be a nervous wreck whenever there's fireworks around. Plus, apparently, you get loads of spiders.

I was only ten!

Sounds more like Alan Partridge.

I can never work out which is worse, people who study and go straight into politics as a career, or people who've done a day job then go into politics. I can think of horrible examples from both camps.

Perhaps we should do it like jury service. People chosen at random.

Takes me back - me, as a 10yo kid, in the bath, with full face swimming googles. My parents asked why, stupidly I admitted it was so that I could watch farts. Had the piss taken out of me for YEARS after that.

It's where the alarms *don't* go off during a power cut (because they've got a proper system fitted) that you know have the decent loot.

Three years later all that lovely whitespace will be full of fucking ads.

North Shoreham. Not far from Buckingham Park.

Can this be a solution?

Have you also noticed the filling laid diagonally on the bread so that when cut they look really full?

Definitely saw one in our garden about a week ago (not a spurious audio detection this time!). And fella who lived next door about 40 years ago remembers seeing them here too. But we mainly get greater spotteds. Can’t get over how small the lesser was!

It used to be The Chalk Pits
But now a museum
Because the old name well it’s
Just too plebeian.

I think it's funny how many of our generation remember "Kill an Argie, win a Metro" as a *real* Sun headline rather than a @privateeyenews.bsky.social spoof.

War headlines, both then and today, are often beyond satire.

Good for you, Kevin.

If you don’t rinse them first, and the filter gets gunky then you are effectively washing your plates in soup.

My brain can't compute PE homework.
