    Look on the bright side@wild edges- you could have slipped on the ice and cracked something else!

    I heard an American person on the radio suggest that Prince Harry could make money by becoming part of the 'booming influencer ecosystem'. Network of nacissistic liars is probably a better description :/
    Harry would never work with Tony Blair.

    I have recently seen a number adverts for a charity that protects girls from fgm, child marriage etc. It is a cause that I would really like to support but I'm concerned that my money would be misused both here and abroad.
    Does anyone know about this charity?

    I guess this is a situation where data collection can be seen as a useful thing but in this murder case the victim's movements were verified by Sky who were tracking what he was watching on TV and when, and the accused's movements were being tracked and stored by Landrover who had an extremely detailed logger fitted to his car which even tracked when the car doors were opened and closed. Great if you're trying to solve a murder but less great if you like your privacy and anonymity. I bet Google or similar could provide a very detailed character profile of the accused if it came down to it. :|

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I'm curmudgeonly because I no longer get a purple box telling me that there are new posts on the curmudgeon thread.

    I've noticed it with a few threads today. Some sort of glitch?

    Yes, I think so.  It's happened with the "cats" thread fairly regularly, and for the past couple of days I've just had to go through all the posts to see what's been posted since I last looked...
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Sometimes my computer, or GW's, doesn't log me in automatically, then those "NEW" boxes don't appear because the website doesn't know it's me, therefore it doesn't know when I last logged in.  As soon as I click on "login" the NEWs appear.
