Fragile Do Not Bend Apr 2022 1:52pm, 19 Apr 2022 9,585 posts	Quote Pin Fragile Do Not Bend Facebook has started putting all sorts of irrelevant “suggested for you” videos on my news feed, mostly of animals or people making things. I understand the need for adverts, even though I don’t like them, but what is the point of the videos? Each time I click on the X to close one it says “you’ll see fewer posts like this” but quite frankly that’s a lie.

Surrey Phil Apr 2022 12:27pm, 20 Apr 2022 8,191 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil Certain garden visitors. Squirrels stealing the bird nuts then ripping up the lawn to bury them. Overnight, a badger breaks a hole in the fence (belongs to the neighbour) and even if I repair it, the damage is there again the following day. The hole was caused by the neighbour's son kicking a leather ball against the fence and now we get foxes, cats and dogs also using it.

There are signs saying “use both lanes when queuing” and “merge in turn” yet they are still do it. (Apart from that one annoyance on the way back, we had two smooth delay-free journeys there and back this weekend.)

Dvorak Apr 2022 5:39pm, 29 Apr 2022 25,214 posts	Quote Pin Dvorak That is seems that the little team I'm working in are Nazi sympathisers. I already knew that one was a Russian War apologist and conspiracy "theorist". Funny how the people who think that the shadowy forces behind the New World Order who want to curtail all their freedoms are bad, are nonetheless are quite keen on actual demonstrable real life dictators.
