Guessing

Fit a spring to close it.

She is 91 

Judy Dench has now given up acting on stage and screen owing to blindness..
Such a wonderful actress.. I feel sad for her..

People who leave my front gate wide open,   even though I have a notice on it asking them to close the gate!
I worry about the dogs getting on to the road, just because some idiot can't be arsed to shut the gate behind them.   

The prices shown in American shops don't include state sales tax. That would annoy me. I guess this is similar for menus. Maccy D's don't do that. It's a problem of being posh. 

Ethel and Eric were twins
She was a cook.. he worked on the bins
Now prices have got so steep
They bring work home as that's so cheap

Quote from: Alex on <strong>Today</strong> at 01:37:52 PMSunny and cold here.  I'm trying to find somewhere to get a calor gas bottle for a new mobile heater I bought for my hallway.  It seems you need an empty one to exchange   

Try somewhere like B&Q. Garages are cheaper but will want to exchange. They used to get you to pay something like a deposit but maybe that has stopped now.

The ceasefire along current front line offer and negotiations isn't new. Ukraine agreed to that at least a year ago. It keeps getting aired again by Trump to make it look like he is doing something. He still wants his Nobel Peace Prize but stands zero chance of getting one.

Putin thinks he can terrorise the Ukrainians enough to win. He is sending ballistic missiles, glide bombs and jet drones into Ukrainian apartment blocks, schools, hospitals, historic building, power stations etc. on daily basis.

They have apparently paid for 1000 patriot interceptors but Trump is holding those back. Partly because US stocks are very low after his adventure in Iran and partly to help his mate Putin because he is also forbidding transfer of any from any European countries stocks.

They can intercept a high percentage of the original petrol engine drones with their own interceptor drones but now that Musk has slowed down the military version of Starlink called Star shield they pay for they can't successfully bring down the new jet powered drones.

None of this makes headlines but you can find out all about it through Google. Take care over sources though as the Russians put a different spin on it all.

Added service charge .. automatically put on bill.
