    Can I change the subject and be curmudgeonly about folk who give endless lists of " dedications" on the radio. 
    Surely " can I say hello to my family and friends" is enough. I'm guessing folk recognise your voice and know if they are family and or friends

    Interestingly enough,  red colours are hardest to remove. In fact tattoo removal isn't always successful. Blue  and black is best for later removal. It also hurts so you get pain each end of your tattoo experience. 

    I once saw something about removal. They get rid of what they can then fade what they can't or suggest camouflage. The last option is especially for red ink tattoos. Reduce the definition then put a bigger tat over the top might be the only option in some cases.

    I'm gonna have a moan about the fact that CURMUDGEONS' CORNER is way more popular than Reasons to be Cheerful.

    Are we as a species just a bunch of miserable moaning sods,Is there no good news in this world that we live in anymore?

    It seems to get more depressing by the day.

    Well, I'm not going to miss the gorse bushes. Glaucous blue spiny foliage and acid yellow flowers in low winter light is not my idea of beauty.

    Much more important than tattoos.........Dyson seem to have taken over the forum - I can't even bring up the Search button due to Dyson's hair control ( whatever that means ? ) ad covering the salient feature.

    I wish Mr. Dyson would just join up with Richard Branson and the other oddly named named person and b*gger off to Mars and leave us in peace.
    Sorry Mars ;)

    It grows along roadsides nearer the coast here, especially the newer ones built to detour round small towns and villages in an EU bid to make central European countries have easier access to coastal ports for their goods.   Makes tourist access easier too.

    Anyway, there it is, all that gorse growing in almost bare rock and stones along with escaped pampas grass, yuccas and California poppies, also with acid yellow flowers.  I hope those caterpillars make good butterflies!  Cattle here get grass, hay, maize, wheat grain  and no doubt other stuff that can be made into winter silage and stored.

    I wouldn’t  wish Dyson and Musk on anyone … not even Branson 🤬

    Ah, thanks - Eon ? Musk was the one I was thinking of - I'm afraid I feel grumpy enough to include Branson and most of our Govt Ministers at the moment  :D

    I posted on RTBC today. Had to go searching for it though.
    maybe we should all try to find something, no matter how small to be cheerful about every day?

    I’m fed up with sideways photographs in here.
