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

    Air plants were very popular in the 60/70’s modern rooms.  My mum had quite a few, then when I got my house I had to have them.
    I think they went out of fashion for a while,  the GC at the Eden Project has some nice ones, in nice shells and containers.

    @floralies I know it's been hot and humid for months, but there does seem to be a combination of weather conditions which cause the problem.  Many, many years ago I worked in the Tropical & Coldwater Fish department of a garden centre.  We had at least 2 instances I can remember of coming in to work and finding fish, which were fine the previous evening, dead.  This was always after thunderstorms.  We had a constant supply of water being pumped round the tanks too.  In humid conditions you will often see fish gaping on the surface for much the same reason.

    3 yr old has a new toy, a car called Pit Stop. Sadly due to enunciation difficulties he's walking around with it saying "Mummy, pissedup!"

    Apparently I used to throw toys out of my pram and shout ‘Damn!’  

    My fond parents would explain that I was trying to say ‘Bang!’

    Thats what they thought 😉 🤪

    App on my phone..... only for my particular area, said it was raining from 4 to 7 pm yesterday, nope it wasn't! There was 10 spits much later (I counted them!) Storm in the night.... second one,says today, tomorrow, Thursday AND Friday morning is wall to wall rain.  . nope. I sit here, with pretty much clear blue sky, the odd fluffy white cloud. When I was in hospital pregnant with my first son,there was an Italian lady,she would say she was going outside for a fag,only she pronounced it f***. course we laughed and told her that's actually what put her on the maternity ward!

    Boris and Liz are both flying to Balmoral to see Queenie, but they can't/won't travel in the same aircraft!?  It's big enough for one to sit in the front and one in the back.  Grow up!

    they're on tax payer funded expenses,  You're being silly to expect them to fly on the same plane
