    Cars

    My car is a 16 year old Nissan Note. Happens that it went in for its MOT (annual roadworthy examination) today - which it passed ok. The reason for keeping it so long is that missus bat has mobility issues and its one of the few cars she can in and out of without too much difficulty. Britain is...

    Birds

    I like to put food out for the wild birds. A lot of our birds can seem a little drab compared to other places in the world but we do have a few colourful ones like goldfinches, and yellowhammers. My favourite birds are the bluetits. Such plucky little lil' critters and can be quite clever too...

    Should women's menstrual products be free?

    I think a basic range of products should be available for anyone who needs it. Here in the UK I've heard of schools providing them to kids from poorer backgrounds. link - https://www.gov.uk/government/news/free-sanitary-products-in-all-primary-schools

    What is your fav animal?

    I like cats - - but I make an exception for the moth-eaten moggie from next-door-but-one which seems to delight in pooping as near to the middle of my grass as possible.

    Return to the moon?

    I don't know as to whether I would want to live permanently in a Moon colony. It would probably only be a large dome or dug into caverns and so get boring pretty quickly but might be interesting enough for a short visit.

    Good Evening All. We had our (UK) Mothers Day in March, but as Mums...Moms are such important people I reckon it's all good to have another one! A Happy Day to all Mothers everywhere.

    Do you use an ad-blocker?

    When playing solo games like solitaire or chess against the computer, I find temporarily disconnecting from the net is one way to restrict ads.

    "If You Want To Win, Get More Votes to Beat Election Fraud..."

    My one little vote may not count for very much but people have fought wars and died just so that I can be free to have that one little vote. I always use it,

    "If You Want To Win, Get More Votes to Beat Election Fraud..."

    We've got local elections coming up and a new thing here is we're going to have to produce photo ID at the polling station to vote. There has only been a few reports of election fraud in the UK and from what I gather it's mostly been in the Birmingham area and is not regarded as being widespread.

    When do you wash your car?

    Don't wash it that often and when I do it's usually when there's spitty rain and dirts already softened. I use a soft brush for the soaping then just let the rain rinse the suds away.

    We'd have to go back to shopping instead of just ordering stuff from Amazon and Ebay.

    Do you use an ad-blocker?

    On this laptop I use Ghostery. Seems to stop ads and most trackers ok without restricting access to most sites. I don't bother with an adblocker on my tablet as I don't use it as much for browsing.

    Are humans responsible for global warming?

    When I was a kid coal was the main fuel and we still sometimes had London 'smogs' when the air was a thick grey/yellow soup of fog and smoke. When it was really bad you could hardly see your hand stretched out in front of you. With the Clean Air Acts of the late 50's and 60's, Londons air may...

    As the Earth fills up space exploration may become the only option to compulsory population control.

    Are cartoons art?

    I think it depends on how much a computer has been used to create the image. Using a program simply as a brush and canvas still involves the creative process and is still art. If it's mostly the computer that has created an image then it is just that, an image. Some cartoons are brilliant and...
