We have the BBC. It has a bunch of live TV channels, ZERO adverts. It has masses of original as well as online content. It had a bunch of radio stations. The TV license is to pay for that. It costs around $20 a month, if you donโ€™t watch live TV, you can fill in an online form and you donโ€™t have to get one. I listen to radio all day long every day and that alone is worth the money.

I moved to Mundella Terrace (about 50 metres away) in 1999 and Mrs Clough was still working in there, tho she was in advanced years and one learnt to only ask for sweets in arms reach, unless you have time to burn, bless her.

Yea, also the place grinds to a halt until the weather improves lol, probably primarily, it canโ€™t be justified to deal with what is really a freak weather event for most of the populace.

Hahahah nope, in the face of all those downers as well. That dude was going for it with the downers, for me the question is why. Thatโ€™s the seat of the addiction and the locus of the solution.

Hahah yes I do lol. I think because our extremes arenโ€™t really that extreme by the standards of much of the rest of the world, rarely fatal and usually itโ€™s cos a tree falls on you. I think the British weather is perfect tbh.

This man should be prescribed some adhd medication and let him see how that is, if the above isnโ€™t the clearest presentation, I donโ€™t know what is. Also you misunderstand how marijuana works lol.

Heโ€™s lovely. I met him about 2 years ago. I knew a man called โ€˜The Hammerโ€™ who built me a cafe extension. He claimed Jimmy was apprenticed to him and got his name that way. So I sold Jimmy some kimchi (he was incognito scarf and hat at a farmers market) but I recognised his voice, and said Iโ€™ve been waiting to ask you something for 15 years, and he really laughed when I told him. He said it was mostly true, but thatโ€™s not how he got his name! It was a lovely moment of reminiscing as I think I caught him off guard and The Hammer was a legend! We chatted for a while and it was a real moment. He still lives locally.

I think heโ€™s a โ€˜repressed homosexualโ€™ as tbey used to say. Most people arenโ€™t repressed these days cos thereโ€™s no need. He hates himself and has turned that anger to brown people cos they remind him of his dad who ran off. Thatโ€™s the vibe I get.
