I agree.. 
I was in Oxford Street a while back and as I left a store to my amazement a big Gay Pride Parade was travelling down the street..
It wasn't interesting at all .. rather embarrassing..

Quote from: Vlad on Today at 02:09:01 PMAnother Pimms Person hoo rah! We must form a club, 😀 btw Hilary Mantel painted a very bad picture of Thomas More, he was quite evil according to what I read in Wolf Hall

People said 'evil' about Thomas Cromwell as well. Hilary Mantel has a reputation as a good researcher, but who can really tell at this distance in time.  The Tudors were a questionable lot at best. A lot of written documents have survived, but how much credence can be given to them?  The people who wrote them could only give their own perspective and that may have been governed by fear of what would happen to them if they fell into the wrong hands. Wasn't it Thomas More who began the rumour the Richard III was a hunchback?

Quote from: Mups on Today at 04:11:01 PMGood job I took Lif back for that stitch to come out,  as they found TWO broken stitches left in.
All done now,  and she is comfortable again now.

My new hearing aids are useless again. 

The right hand one is either making strange noises again,  or else it suddenly turns itself off. 
Next minute it turns itself back on,  and then off again,  and so on.
This is the fourth pair from the NHS which have conked out in just a few months. 
I am glad Liffey is OK, MUps.

Maybe you would have better luck if your vets supplied hearing aids for you - your local NHS seem inefficient to say the least.

Quote from: Scrumpy on Today at 06:28:08 PMOh dear Mups.. What a long drawn out saga ...
Shame on the NHS..
My hearing aid warranty runs out at the end of this month so the Hearing Aid man came and checked my hearing, slightly worse since last year and then the pitch..renew warranty for only 1 year £200 then Signia ( my hearing aids) will no longer repair them being 5 years old....but hearing aid man says I should upgrade, technology has moved and because I am a veteran he could do me a discount......I am so excited and holding my breath....A new pair similar to what I have but upgraded he can get me a pair for ONLY £3000 .....I exhaled..loudly, told I would think about it....   ( which didn't take long) I decided to soldier on with the old pair

The youngsters in my family stayed up to watch it..
They all said it was brilliant..
And they went off to work the same morning..

I can't understand anyone not being pleased that their country are representing them well..
Whether it be football.. tennis or snooker.

Scrumpy waited for her hunky plumber
His fourth call just this summer
He was a good looking guy
That really caught her eye
But he was gay.. What a bummer.
