H

It was a joke.

I'd love to see some stats on how often you use "woke" and "cancel" in your posts. The % must be thru the roof

He loves woke so much he’s named after it!

Newspapers headlining with inconsequential non-stories when the country is faced with really difficult short and long term challenges. Can‘t but help think that the headlines are intended to draw the attention of their readers from the difficulties associated with sorting the important stuff. ?

‘Celebs’ having a baby and then thinking they are an expert and writing a self help book about it. Latest one is Emma Bunton who I have already heard on the One Show and Zoe Ball this morning spouting the same rubbish each time. And also gushing about how supportive her husband was- that’s what is supposed to happen!!!

It irritates me that this non-story got any publicity at all. Just ignore them.

It's pretty much the dictionary definition of it. Unless you're trying to cancel the dictionary.

Your head’s going to explode when you find out she’s basically German...

Didn't know what that meant so looked on Urban Dictionary. I think there may be another meaning. ?

The market must be as buoyant down south as up here, I just sold my holiday house and had 9 official offers from solicitors Within 2 weeks.
Tough gig at the moment, but what’s for you won’t go past you, got to try and keep positive ??

Second near miss in 2 days, cycling to the station, either of which would probably have been life threatening. For the first time I'm thinking of retiring the road bike and stomaching the 2 mile walk for the sake of not ending up on some idiot's windscreen.

I made that decision a few years ago after a BMW coming along the A6 totally missed seeing me on a roundabout and I had to turn to the middle and go round myself to avoid being knocked over. A few weeks earlier I had another similar near miss.

Too many people driving with too many distractions! I used to cycle to the golf club on a regular basis before then.

I am thinking of getting our bikes sorted out and just taking them to safe places to ride as I am missing cycling.
