I think you're confusing it with the beaches along the north east coast of England that have sea coal mixed with the sand.

I'd been to a bike rally at the weekend in Belgium and, yesterday, rode up through The Netherlands to stay for four nights before going home. I was feeling quite chipper because I've managed to reach another birthday so have caught up with Skub again.
This is my bike. Not the pedal cycle. The ...

I agree with Potter. While a task can be delegated to a subordinate who becomes responsible and accountable for carrying it out, but their superior cannot delegate their own responsibility and accountability for the completion of the task. It's a form of strict liability. Not knowing that the task ...

Misgendering..........or more accurately, people that get 'offended' by it.
JK Rowling has apparently been reported to the police because she misgendered some trans news reader (by the trans news reader themselves).
Now, you can paint a cow with black and white stripes, but it will never be a ...

Arsehole pro-cyclists.
They come for winter training and their arrogance and self importance knows no bounds and they piss everyone off.

Today, they excelled themselves. Saw 3 cyclists, which would have been easy for cars to pass. Oh no. Their coach was sat in a car behind them, at their speed ...

Remember: they'll print/broadcast whatever sells. Doesn't matter if it's 100% true or not. If it gets people buying the paper/watching the channel they'll say it. If it turns out to be wrong: noone cares.


Is he still around? I liked him in Herman's Hermits. I didn't know he cared though ...

I know, but it still annoys me.

Please bear with me as my post is related to the royal family although I would have the same feeling if it were anyone.

I've been getting a bit miffed by the constant media speculation about the health of Charles and Kate. Like most of the world, I don't know anything about Charles' cancer and hope ...

I've been signed off for another fortnight, which I'm fine with as I still ain't right. I've been told umpteen times to take it easy, put my feet up, get rest and recover, but I'm incapable of sitting and doing nothing as it seems a waste of time. I've read couple of books, cooked a shit ton of ...

I was on visordown.

2024 hasn't started too well. On day one I broke a tooth. I hope that's the worst thing that happens this year.

Does it still exist? - Do you apply it to your standard day?

I have just been over hearing a conversation between 4 LSA's in a school staffroom. They were complaining that everyone is ill all the time in schools and as they no longer have the covid rules in place it has made it worse.

They also ...

He went into selling home roasted coffee, so maybe didn't have enough time or money to cope with a business, family and hedgehogs.

I haven't seen one for ages, probably over a decade since i have seen one tbh.

Didn't Wratty used to run a Hedgehog sanctuary?


The Hogspital. :thumbup:
Obviously Greenman won't see this ;) but it was the Waveney Valley Hogspital run by Wreckless Rat and his partner ?Anna?. Or was it run by ...

I think it was Wreckless Rat.

I have a garden that is good for hedgehogs but they don't visit as often as they used to. I think part of it ìs because a lot of my neighbours have paved over their gardens and now have fences down to the ground. This means places where the prickly pigs can forage and nest are much reduced.

Happy birthdays to you both.

Sorry, it's not original but it says what it means.

Eeh bah gum, I can remember when I were a lad, dogs were fed on raw meat, offal and bones plus leftovers from the dinner table. An uncle of my dad used to give his sheepdogs porridge, too.
