    I think I'm losing the plot here and it's a good example of how my mind works sometimes.
    I just read Jenny-Aster's post about the problem with her computer and then scrolled down to read B3's and it told us that sometimes her lid gets stuck so she runs it under the tap and that something had definitely changed and that the lid had lasted a couple of years. 
    I nearly yelled out oh no don't do that B3 and then the next bit mentions Unilever! Gawd my heart skipped a beat!

    not this one Bencotto.Dove normally one this size would last me at least 6 months, I have tried others,(of course,) dishwasher hands,oooh no, gloves!!!
  • No, not kidding. Apparently when a bank's system goes down, there's a risk that the person responsible is that traumatised, they usually walk away from the job. Imagine if I'd put a comma in the wrong place causing millions to lose their bank accounts. I'd probably never pull my head from under the duvet ever again. 

    Great job you had there! Guess it would have been the same for flight controllers too.

    You can probably get counselling for that @Uff 😀
    My cousin’s getting counselling because someone smashed into her car.  No wonder the NHS is strapped for cash.

  • Same with my 90 year old aunt, some kids broke a small window in her kitchen and some neighbour called the police who offered her counselling. Apparently she told the policewoman who came round 'not to talk so daft!'  :#

    Before we gripe about too many things, spare a thought for the poor people of Tonga and surrounding islands.

    Some islands have sunk and disappeared, it seems.
    Good shout Pansyface, it's happening now, terrible news.

    Re the volcano - look at the one last year in La Palma. 3 months it lasted. I was getting fed up of broadcasters saying 'isn't that spectacular' etc. I bet the poor folk living there didn't think so.  :/

    The Tongan situation will be yesterday's fish and chip paper in a couple of days. Makes you wonder about who decides the content of news stories   :/

    Can there still be anyone denying climate change too?
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I don't think volcanic activity can be blamed on climate change.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    No …. but rising sea levels due to climate change can mean that the effects of tsunamis on low lying areas can be much worse than previously. 😢
