Alto who dances and is a computer geek; interested in fonts; the paranormal; the freaky & bizarre! Pre-covid having finally retired, was a Supporting Artiste.

Keir Starmer called it a real injustice but that was 2 years ago when he was keen to get our votes.

[Helen Dashwood @Altissimma]

@Keir_Starmer You failed to right the wrong done to 50s women and we've been conveniently forgotten. No surprise there, then!

[Helen Dashwood @Altissimma]

@Keir_Starmer Time to honour your promises don't you think?

[Helen Dashwood @Altissimma]

@Wenzelsthebaker Your Borehamwood branch refused to serve a young man with a service dog today. My husband spoke to the manager that it is illegal to refuse to serve someone with a support dog, she said she didn't see the dog's "support dog" harness. Please educate your staff!

It is not acceptable for minors to have sexual experiences and abhorrent to consider an experience with an adult is in any way acceptable! Of course such an awful experience is harmful to a child and if she thinks it isn't, she needs to see a psychologist because she needs help!

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

This is the most terrible lie

I know quite a few women who have undergone such experiences, and all say it affected them adversely

How dare she talk such harmful nonsense !

Wise words Mr Shatner.

Star Trek exists in more than one world. It exists in the fantasy of science fiction - weird and wonderful things that play unimaginable possibilities of exploration and human endeavor. But it also exists in the fantasy of human beings, the perfection of human beings, the exploration that human beings have made since the dawn of time and the continuing exploration - physically mentally and morally. It’s that aspect of Star Trek that I’ve always loved, to look at something physically that doesn’t exist now by these talented writers & designers but also to tackle the eternal human questions the agonies, the ecstasies. Star Trek should exist for a long time to come based on those truths. I for one would love to see its continuity. It’s with sorrow that I hear about the cancellation of the new Star Trek series.

It’s only an ambulance

It’s only a flag

It’s only a poster

It’s only a bakery

It’s only ‘anti-Zionism’

It’s only one synagogue

It’s only London
Birmingham
Manchester
Brighton
Leeds
Margate
etc. etc. etc

It’s only the UK

When is it not “only” anymore?

[Helen Dashwood @Altissimma]

Yes, you're quite right. And criticism was made of DS9 because it was too "dark" but the stories conveyed another side of living in space that was all gung ho adventures and first contacts.

[William Shatner @WilliamShatner]

And when the Next Gen came out; there was tons of hate because it “wasn’t Star Trek” and the cast probably was in fear from the fans. Again when the series with Bakula came out, it too was panned by the fans because it “wasn’t Star Trek.”
Star Trek is different for everyone. 🤷🏼

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

The puzzzle is...

Why on earth did they decide to come here, when there are 60 Muslim countries where their beliefs would fit in perfectly

Oh ! Possibly the easy money ?

Rakusen’s is a UK company, based in Leeds, which produces matzah (unleavened bread). At Passover, which is a few weeks away, observant Jews refrain from chametz (leavened bread). Matzah is central to the Passover seder. This sticker was put here to tell Jews they’re not welcome.

@LidlGB Disappointing that you advertise the Naturis Multivitamin Tropical Drink £1.39 with Lidl Plus card BUT my store at Elstree Way Borehamwood has NOT had a delivery for weeks and the Manager just shrugs and says they're reliant on whatever gets delivered.

[Helen Dashwood @Altissimma]

@JamesMelville They weren't content with stealing 50s women's 6 years' worth of pensions yet force some of us to watch the electricity bills go up and up!

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

Labour MPs claimed more than £400,000 of taxpayers’ money in expenses to heat their own second homes over the last five years, but voted to cut Winter Fuel Payments for millions of pensioners.

@bbcproms The opening night Prom had a QR code so that we could view the programme for the concert. It seems that all the other televised Proms haven't given us the option of a QR code to see the programme. Why is this?

[Helen Dashwood @Altissimma]

Every time I go to my store in Borehamwood & always use Scan and go, when I get to the till, it wants an assistant to check my trolley EVERY SINGLE TIME! I don't buy alcohol and my bill is often less than £50 so why am I targeted to have my shopping checked? @Tesco

@Warburtons I'm unable to find Danish bread on the shelves of my Tesco and Morrisons. It's the only bread I like! Is there a problem with supply or has it been discontinued?

[Helen Dashwood @Altissimma]

Both the unnamed restaurant and @Tesco should be publicly shamed for treating a guide dog owner so contemptuously! It is not unlawful to take a working dog into a restaurant or food shop! https://t.co/noQx9wZ5Ei
