I always associate with the "this way up" with the arrow. I think I need reminding every so often.

Love that song, I hope I don't get the image of the nicotine bed popping up in my head when I listen to it next.

I was very surprised about the age of the oldest Geisha. I always find #BetwixtTheSheets so entertaining as well as educational.

Crumbs, that must hurt. Lucky you weren't dunking it in tea. Many years ago I did it with rust, wearing protective glasses wasn't a thing back then. I wear them when working now, I may have to start wearing them for tea breaks as well now after hear this.

It already has been thrown at her, but she opened her big snake mouth and swallow it.

I agree that there is a need for such a law both in America and UK. I have my own private phone. So my rules for my work phone are. When working in the office the work phone is turned off when I get home. If I am working at customs site, the phone gets turned off at 9PM.

I've always thought that it was balanced as well. I wonder now if that was the case, or as there was no social media the "extremists" could stay under the radar. Social media also embolden's them as they can see some idiots think the same. It can also expose them, so I suppose it not all bad.

Can we list things like GBNews as extremists now. Or does it only apply to "left" wing extremists.

Sorry, I didn't think my arms are long enough to do it justice.

I think Billericay Dickie is my favourite Dury song. But Clever Trevor is up there too. If you think Trevor is negative, just imagine what it's like to be called Nigel 😂

@song-writer.bsky.social
If you don't mind me asking, is your profile name a reference to one of Ian Dury's songs or just a coincidence?

I got on a flight years ago, where there were lots of empty seats. One guy moved to one before take off and without asking. The flight attendant moved him back to original seat. After take off, I asked if I could move. The flight attendant said sure. You should have seen the face on the other guy.

Did you have to do that, I'll never be able to listen to that again, without thinking about this. It's like when someone told me the revised words "sitting on the cock of the gay". Instead of "sitting on the dock of the bay". Stop it! Running away screaming Ahhhhhhh....

That was really good, loved how the other guests all knew about other mythical creatures. I hope the idea about going international with mythical creatures takes off. It would be interesting to see how other countries creatures are similar to ours, or if they are wildly different.
