Either eat them raw, or put them on the compost heap, and then use the compost to grow something palatable. Adrian Hmm might have a bit of a wait as it usually takes between six and nine months for things to compost down and then of course you've got to wait for the things to grow. Mind you you could always hot compost it to speed things up. It's a bit like hot yoga. I'll leave that to your imagination. Night all. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, watching young ladies perform Hot Yoga might be too perturbing for the average Night Mail denizen... I'd never heard of "Hot Yoga" so I just had to google it. So many sweaty bodies... 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking? Sheesh! In the US I'm sure that would fail the "cruel and unusual" test. Maybe restrict the daytime TV to Traffic Cops and the like for the ones who are really confused about who the Good Guys are. I recall a fly on the wall documentary about American prisons a few years ago there was a guy in his forties doing life and was quite content saying that he has three square meals a day and medical treatment is free so he'd rather spend the rest of his life in prison. (He was serving time for armed robbery.) 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyID Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 There are not a lot of watering holes near here. There are plenty in town but that's 20 miles from here. Fortunately there's a rather good one at the marina at the end of the bay less than half a mile hence 😆 Not a bad restaurant too. 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted September 2, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 2, 2023 Up far too early and shortly off to pick up Gordon for Day two of our Welshpool extravaganza. Nyda pointed out that I ought to take some photos of the set up prior to the show openng. Yesterday's afternoon session was capped by a couple with their two young children: They were watching very intently, when we asked if they'd like to have a go at driving? Oh Yes please! Then the little lad turned around to his mother and asked if it would be all right... As she'd told then before they arrived that they could watch but were not allowed to touch anything! 15 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted September 2, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 2, 2023 A bit late this morning, for, errr, manifold reasons. Mrs H went out to be Pilated, but has arrived back, the Pilater wasn't there as he had forgotten to cancel Debs session as he is going away on holiday, well he is Belgian and does not operate to accepted norms. He's a good friend, but as mad as hatter. Not like Poirrot at all. 2 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie from Shedlland There is a cafe at the bottom I'm told so it wouldnt be a bad place to come to rest. The funniest story about runaway wagons I heard was in the local paper when a wagon escaped from Round Oak and with the benefit of gravity trundled through Stourbridge Jn on the up line during the morning rush hour. Having the been overcome by gravity it returned shortly aftterwards. The story was covered in the local paper and an eyewitness was tracked down and interviewed by the intrepid roving reporter. "I saw this wagon go by and shortly after saw it go back the other way. So I caught the bus" Andy 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most used to struggle after Eddie Merckx and Jean-Claude Van Damme. Funnily enough I've often thought the Dutch are the real madmen of Europe. In our office overlooking the Thames near Greenwich some years ago, we spotted an odd boat going past with about eight oarsmen and what appeared to be a support crew on a following motor launch. A quick online search showed them to be a group of Dutch Marines who were just completing a row from Amsterdam. Dutch and Marines..... yep that would do it. 10 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
