FFS, listen to me, don't come here Sara.

Bought some potted herbs on yellow label reduced each at 0.09p each yesterday. Now all the seedlings are divided and potted up in planters in the garden.

The rift between Walters and UKIP needs to be mended. She took quite a few with her.
The fucking Hamiltons also need firing in to space.
Batten may be the one to bring the 2 together, as he is far more sceptical of the ROP than Nigel.

I had a bit of a weird experience. As many of you will know, I have a bit of an interest in the Madeleine McCann, er, situation. A long time ago now, I began to wonder about the role played in events by David Miliband, who became foreign secretary around the same time and seems to be instrumental in springing the McCanns from a likely plea bargain situation. Now obviously he has heavy Clinton connections, as does another connected figure who I'd rather not go into right now. So when the Pizzagate thing broke, with all that stuff about the Podestas and their resemblance to the efits, well I'd never heard of the Podestas prior to that, but let's just say that the whole thing didn't come quite so out of left field for me as it might have for others.
But I'm also intensely aware of the possibility of "Loon Bait", as Nuggets Mahoney once memorably described it.

People focus on transport and often overlook the complete reliance of agriculture on petrochemicals from diesel fuel to fertiisers to pesticides to food shipment, which supports billions of people.

offence is:
So, it was the perp.  But who would cause an explosion, but not be a terrorist?  I suppose someone doing it for the jolly of it, or espionage, or a disgruntled employee, etc -- but those seem very far fetched.  I guess it could be that the guy did something stupid accidentally -- perhaps he was on the train playing a game of 'let's see how big a spark I can get with my keys across the terminals', and then the thing got out of hand -- but I can't see how that would lead to an arrest (or that they'd know, etc).
None of this makes sense.  As I've mentioned, IMO TPTB are withholding info and more will come out in the fullness of time, like in 50 years so something.

@DurhamBorn
Thank you for bringing this top notch and fascinating thread to this forum. Thank you to all interesting contributors too.I don’t have anything to add but I read it daily.
Epic!
 

We should conserve helium,
We certainly shouldn't put it in party balloons

Was it a drill ?

What if they spend £5 on jeans but £2k on a piece of work kit that helps separate them from the rest that pay £200 for a cheaper less capable version.
or £5 on jeans, but £500 on some lobster pots to get a fresh supper.
I don't think it's virtue sigalling, it's just dfferent priorities. Material things that don't add value to me, have no value to me.

Our ice cream maker bowl is full of something in the freezer, runner beans I think.

Next time you go into the surgery you will tell your symptoms to the doctor and the doctor will say "Alexa, ............?"

We make  Rumtopf
This is a good book too Ices - Definitive guide  esp the rhubarb crumble ice cream. This is the best designed home ice cream maker IMO as, unlike in other brands, it is the bowl that turns and not the paddle, and so it churns until the ice cream is set, which is long after other types sieze because the mix has got too stiff.

Makes the taking down of Al-Waleed bin Talal in Saudi recently even more fascinating.

Van of peace anniversary yesterday I believe.

Or if he's not guilty he'll be discharged

If it's a second offence he'll be recharged
