Ah.

What are the odds that the wrong share has stoofed as a result of the righteous indignation of a few WASP 'influencers'?

Probably because Lord Elon, Andrew Tate and Bev Turner got into a froth about it. (Musk should have asked his brother's wife what she thought of it - Kimbal's missus is a bit more 21st century ).

I've used poison and traps for mice at one time or another in the loft. They both worked and never had a problem with smells. (Humane traps are a no-no for me because it's a pain getting up there to check them). Quite often I'd find them dead inside the bait boxes. Which blocks the next critter from...

Just finished 'Infinity Gate' by M. R. Carey. He of 'The Girl With All the Gifts', 'Fellside' etc. It seems everything he does is a bit of a swerve from each previous topic.

It's not exactly news, but I read this today. So it's news to me and it's today.

The Bronx is the size of Paris, has 42 McDonalds.....and one bookshop.

Hmmm, maybe we need a 'little known facts' thread.
