Falklands War Veteran Simon Weston is outraged that pro-Gaza activists are selling pseudo Palestine 'poppies 'ahead of Remembrance Day - and calls on the Government to intervene .
"I believe they should stop anybody impinging on the commemoration of sacrifice for a greater peace."

Not even the poppy is safe .

Bert felt bad about nicking from Nell
He knew he hadn't treated her well
Nell didn't feel bad about clouting Bert
But wished her hand didn't still hurt 
And now it had started to swell.


When Kev  got in his new car
He was puzzled when it wouldn't go far

Bert felt bad about nicking from Nell
He knew he hadn't treated her well

Water pressure is maintained by pumps. They don't run on steam anymore so a prolonged outage can mean turning on the tap doesn't provide any water.

I've done my stint at Age UK this morning, then popped into the library, and had a walk to the shops.  Dropped off for a while after lunch.  Then put new bedding on, a job I find quite tiring nowadays.   Nice warm brushed cotton now the weather has changed. Will watch Bake Off later.

Nell made herself another tea
With dippy biscuits-One-Two-Three
Bert swiped her biscuits quick as a flash
She cuffed him hard and gave him a bash 
She said 'hands off those biscuits they're for me'.

It beggars belief !   The Saudis have that much money they could buy themselves an extra air force.  They've already got 900 odd aircraft, we've got 600 odd - I looked it up !

The RAF has been deployed to protect Saudi Arabia .
The government says it is in our interest to  support SA .

It was in our interest to keep American and Israel onside too .
