(1551) Afternoon all.
20. Moo corner
19. A onesided conversation
18. I want nothing from any of these clowns
… (Annunziata of course is a goodie):
17. Another VE Day photo
16. Remembering David Bellamy again
… was this the same Attenborough as the one connected with Boaty McBoatface? I forget.
15. The abuse of female chn continues
14. Do you know who this guy is?
Let’s do it as a quiz question … what’s his group? Where? Who’s his wife (now with chn)? Whom was she going to interview at the time?
13. Julia’s gone potty
12. IYE at 1378
Interview with Paul Hellyer former Canadian Defense Minister (UFOs) |https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYKdib3m
11. Housekeeping again
First up, these times I quote for beginnings and ends of posts … they can be uncanny if you find numbers interesting:
Right, down to business … they are certainly tightening the screws. For some time, both MMutR and I have been getting reduced service quality, with clicks and pings … at times, the call is cut off. This is not normal.
This morning, IYE warned that there was a warning about coming to this site. Yep, I got the warning too as I reinstalled YouTube when it started playing up. In one sense, it’s a good thing … keeps the dross and trolls away, whilst those who know us can still visit. Lower numbers, better situation.
Now, whoever the toerags are … either Apple of Ggl … YouTube started playing music vids slower, dragging, so that notes were out of tune so to speak. Fine … of course no buttons to adjust sound speed, only picture quality. Fine. If I can no longer listen to music or watch films, so be it.
Then there’s this:
To hell I will. The lower one involves, and so does the upper, my credit card with security code. Do they think I’m an idiot? So we’re punished instead.
Now, this coming Thursday … it’s not the procedures to be concerned about, it’s two other things … the stasi-bureaucratic thing … and I simply am not going to … but it will be done quietly. Now, if that means no med service, so be it, I’ll be my own doctor, use trad herbs etc.
Obviously they’ll not dtop at that and they’ll next hit my money, my account. I’ll take that one as it comes.
The most immediate punishment, I suspect, is they’ll hit nourishing unherdables (the range of sites), plus probably the X connection. If it suddenly disappears as N.O. did, I’ll get word out one of a number of ways.
16. That’s the Boaty McBoatface chap. How’s he lasted so long? 🤔
13. I planted some cherry tomato plants and potted on 15 lettuces yesterday then ran out of compost. Went out to buy more today along with parsley, coriander and carrot seeds. Only growing what we like to eat these days. Brassicas don’t do well in our garden – too many pests.
Basil and chives and two kinds of mint – Moroccan and pineapple – along with lemon verbena, thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano and bay are already in their pots. All but the basil are holdovers from last year. Might as well have something to flavour the cabbage soup, if it comes down to that.

JH: 13: Luv it … am archiving at UHC now.
17. I watched the Victory Parade from the balcony of Lady Astor’s bedroom. My Uncle was chauffeur to the Astor family and obtained permission for us to be there.
My Uncle and my Dad were cricket fans. One evening my Uncle telephoned to offer Dad his ticket for the final day of the Test Match at the Oval as the Colonel (as Lord Astor was usually called) had told him that he was needed for the day. Dad managed to do a shift swap at work and had a wonderful day watching a thrilling match.
In the evening my Uncle telephoned to say that he had been stuck outside the Oval grounds listening to the Test Match on the Radio, whilst The Colonel and Dad were inside the ground watching the game.
