Mosquitoes don't bother me ..
In face I am usually impervious to bites but not to chiggers .
They just love me .

I've never heard the name before either.  Mosquitos make a bee line for me so I have a couple of Citronella candles on the patio table.  They don't always work 

The sun was out this morning, now it's gone very dark and looks like rain.  I'm off with another delivery for the charity shop, another mixed box of goodies. 

I don't miss the BBC at all and haven't since July 2020

Quote from: Ashy on Today at 12:28:48 PMnever take any BBC output except the weather forecast and I can get that elsewhere. I say make it a subscription service and abolish the licence.

I agree.  By all means let it get income via ads.  After all, they spend enough time and money telling us how great they are via their own navel gazing ads.  If people want to opt out of ads, then give them an option to do so.  We, on occasion, pay a few quid for eg channel 4 to avoid ads, and cancel the subscription afterwards.

Quote from: Scrumpy on Today at 09:26:57 AMThe problem is the white British are settling elsewhere.. Australia.. New Zealand.. Canada..
  Thus leaving plenty of room for a takeover..
Our old religious buildings are of no concern to them and they are not respected as a place of worship..
In time they will be no-more and those who wish to pray will do it (quietly) in their own homes..

Many are.  If Marge and I were younger, we'd think about it.
Actually, we both worked in Saudi Arabia for a while.  Although a muslim country, in fact the world centre of that faith, it was a fairly safe place relatively speaking.  We wouldn't dream of settling there though.

Yes, I can foresee (assuming that the religious take-over continues) that Christianity will continue to decline in numbers and will eventually become nothing more than a small minority following.  The churches, and even the large cathedrals, will have been converted into mosques.  I don't think they would pull them down, but will simply convert them to their own use.  By then, of course, they will be rich enough to take over their maintenance!

'Come to me you delicious thing'
Was that church bells he heard ring!
No, it was her hearing aid buzzing
A sure sign to start the loving
Room in his bed even it a wasn't a king
