General Discussion / Re: Portugal’s Burqa Ban

There aren't the same issues with a few professionals in an area.  My son notices the differences from living in fairly rural Cheshire when he comes back to South Yorkshire.   He had a couple of Asian housemates when he was at uni in Huddersfield, he makes a cracking curry.  My closest friend's dad was African, it's not about colour or race, it's about behaviour and beliefs.

It's all due to his slimming club
And no more eating down the pub
Plenty of greens, and fruit is the key
Salad with cottage cheese for tea

Yes, of course.  It is always very important to consider, if you are planning to drop a fart, whether it is possible that you might 'follow through'.  The difference is, of course, finding that you have caused a little humorous unease to a person nearby, or that you have embarrassed yourself.

A late good morning all.

Glorious sunshine here,  but just below 20°,   perfect.   :upvote:

I was going to start painting the gate and fences before the weather turns,  but I need some inspiration.

General Discussion / Re: Jason Arday Found Dead
Last post by klondike - August 23, 2026, 10:46:28 AM
I'm guessing whoever conducted the autopsy does but the results don't appear to have been made public. They will have to be eventually I assume as there is to be an inquest. I asked AI in case there was something reported that I'd missed but all that said was..

Based on the information currently available, the method of Jason Arday's death has not been publicly disclosed by authorities.

While several news outlets have reported that his death is believed to have been a suicide, the Metropolitan Police have said only that he was found unresponsive at his home in south London and that his death was not being treated as suspicious. No official statement has described how he died, and the coroner's investigation is ongoing.

It's understandable to be curious, but there is no verified public information about the specific method, and it's generally not reported out of respect for the deceased and because such details can be harmful to publish.
