@oghofer My mother-in-law was a top class flower arranger and dabbled in oil painting.
My father-in-law grew chrysanthemums.
Not a lot of cross over there.
@LloydsBank@cityalan I don't know about his mum, but I refuse to use online banking, even though I'm capable of it, and using the Post Office is not the same as going into your own bank branch, for heaven's sake!
@LloydsBank@cityalan They may not be taken lightly, but they are taken with scant regard for the actual customers who use the branches.
I moved from Barclays, who closed the last bank in my town, to Lloyds, thinking they might be better.
Silly me.
@peterrhague In Powsels and Thrums by Alan Garner, he remembers going running with a mathematician from Manchester University, who he liked very much. Then the police ordered AG not to associate with him, but would give no reason.
Then he heard that his friend Alan Turing had died.
@valmis_001@CameronCorduroy The idea is that someone becomes ill in detention, so they're released. That way, ICE can deny responsibility when they die from the illness that they picked up in detention.
Israel dropped a bomb on Monaโs home in Mansouri, South Lebanon, today.
Mona is not a fighter.
She is an environmental activist who dedicated her life to protecting endangered sea turtles.
Because of Israel, Mona is now fighting for her life in a hospital bed.
@theiaincameron My mother-in-law was a flower arranger, preparing her entry for a big county show in the Midlands when she became aware of an older chap hovering behind her to see what she was doing. She was quite cross, and turned round to tell him to go away.
It was Prince Phillip, of course.
@cosmohyde It started with asking questions and hanging out with Lucifer and the guys. Then he chose Lucifer's side in the War in Heaven, and fought in Lucifer's legions (alongside Furfur, according to the 1941 flashback). That's why he Fell.
