    My schoolfriend and I were pony-mad teenagers.  Listening to the BeeGees "Massachusetts", she said "I suppose she stood on the horse so she could see further".  Eh?  "The day I left her standing on her roan."

    I wish they would divide the BBC news app into sections:

    1 What has actually happened

    2  promises, opinion and speculation

    3 non news and page fillers.

    In London. Keen but lazy.

    4.  News items they showed at the beginning of  COVID.  Or is that what you call ‘fillers’?

    In not sure I remember what used to be in the news in the olden days before Covid and brexxxt  The two old homeless c**s that was a main item yesterday is a good example of a page filler.
    But I'm sure most of the articles would have fitted into one of the sections above.😉

    PS
    When a speculation becomes fact, it can be moved to the appropriate section

    I always thought the true history makers were those who did things for the first time.  First to climb Everest, First man to walk on the moon etc.  It seems that has now changed as Lewis Hamilton is now a history maker by becoming the second man to win 91 Grand Prix.

    Pre-news...I've already heard more than enough about what Boris is going to announce later today. I know the spin people like to have time to judge popular response 'before' announcing anything, but I don't think I've heard a story such as '...earlier today the PM said...' for ages. Remember in the old days when Ministers were sacked for leaking government plans? Now the whole mechanism is based on leaks and 'preparing' the media before the plans are officially announced.

    and they weren't actually first either  ;)

    I'd like to nominate the lady who dumped her used Poundland pregnancy test in the nature reserve car park for classiest act of the year.  :| 
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Really classy @wild edges  :#

    although I had one last week that possibly challenges it. The man who walked through the NT garden near me, then, without even looking round to see if anyone was there, went behind a tree for a p*ss. 
    Mid afternoon - kids on their way home from school, and an outdoor playgroup [in the gardens] just a bit further along. 

    He laughed when I shouted at him. Dirty pig  >:)

    At least he went behind a tree Fairygirl.  There are plenty of places in Europe where they wouldn't be so discreet - or modest.
