Mandy Lifeboats Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 My office is on the second floor and right next to a mature tree. The branches are just close enough for me to hang bird feeders. Today a Robin flew through the window and sat quite calmly on my monitor. It was a wonderful moment. But something spooked him and he flew straight into a closed window. He was still alive, so I picked him up and put him in a box full of shredded paper. After about 15 minutes he recovered and flew out of the box.......... .............straight into a ceiling fan which cut him in half. One to tell the kids as a bedtime story. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't even give me enough bandages when they checked me out of the hospital. Nobody really cares. This country was always about individualism, and if you can't keep up, **** right off. heartless society here. I'm really rather sick of it. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Across two-hundred-million miles of void, invisibly hurtling towards us, came the first of the missiles that were to bring so much calamity to Earth. Text written in the 1800s being quoted on a football forum. That shows how good it is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted August 13, 2019 Moderator Share Posted August 13, 2019 I am going to attempt to not ask the missus why she is keeping two unopened packets of anti-bacterial wipes on the bottom shelf of the fridge I have an important day at work today and I'm sure the answer will just baffle me all day long. It's better not knowing I think This isn't a grey area like ketchup and jam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stupid and the selfish joined forces to send the UK down the same path, by Voting Tory and Brexit. Arron Banks wants to hold us to ransom for our lives, aided by Putin who wants to make us more miserable than the Russians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted August 13, 2019 Moderator Share Posted August 13, 2019 Curiosity got the better of me. II asked why the antibacterial wipes were in the fridge. I knew I shouldn't have. Apparently the wipes were drying out in the packet when they were left out because of the temperature. I've now had to explain why putting them in a frost free fridge isn't the best solution. She's not having it about as much as she'snot having that the coolest part of the fridge is the bottom. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
