Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Well that was disappointing. I was just reading a round up of the 'best' of today's spoofs and they were as dull as ditch-water except for this one.
The European parliament has poked fun at Britain’s new blue post-Brexit passports.
It claims that “all EU passports to become dark blue†– the passport equivalent of turning up to a party and seeing someone in a matching outfit.

I'm tempted to ask what we can do to help, but that's really annoying and puts the onus on you to make decisions when you should be resting. So, here's one specific question for you: do you have somebody looking after houseplants/pets/etc? If not, shout - and the western GTA/Hamilton contingent of BE will be on it!
It sounds like you may have gotten away with a warning on this one, and can be fixed up and monitored in an effort to prevent the next one. Take it easy, rest up, follow doctors' orders, and get well soon

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
It does sound very nice. I just don't understand how I never heard of it.
At school I remember Easter biscuits that were pretty horrible - all the currants were burnt.
Aside from Easter eggs I don't recall any other edible treat at Easter.

I remember the 70's (I was 5 1/2 when they began) and believe me you're not missing much. It was the decade that taste skipped over. When you think of bad fashion, bad music, bad tv, bad architecture, bad car design, bad crazes/fads, just think of the 70's.
