Brownhills Commoner

Still interested in Brownhills Common and surroundings, but now a narrowboat nomad.

As angling is so popular, a combo of fish and flies (natural and lures) might work.

Some of the UK's animals. Which species should I create images of next? 🤔

Haiku: One wheel on my wagon ...

"Black Friday Deals",
the shop window announces,
but has it lost wheels?!

[Brownhills Commoner @BhillsCommoner]

What a belter!

A very striking image from @TTowpaths to start the week. How is everyone today?

@nbminimallist I said I would blog, for what it is worth https://t.co/Bbxy5IT1jT Don't think I have a link to Lorna. Anyway, Jo, although you do a lot of walking, completing the WHW is something to look back on with pride.

[Brownhills Commoner @BhillsCommoner]

To anyone who has been worried by my absence, please accept my apologies. I will try to be more communicative. Best wishes, Andy.

@bbcworldservice Such ignorance! Cack-handed is an insult. In some communities if you touch shared food with your left hand the rest think it tainted - your left hand is for wiping your arse .... it's why a penalty for theft was to cut off the thiefs right hand.

When I were a lad, the yellow peril was traffic wardens.

@Bonn1eGreer @SirGeoffPalmer @MelroseStewart1 @WindrushPreston  @JJyabbas @DianeKemp1 @TVMarv @lincolnmoses @Nadine_Writes This is why this country is in a mess,how many front bench MP's have we heard clearly don't know a lot! There job seems to negates them answering a question

[Brownhills Commoner @BhillsCommoner]

Oh, and Cathy Freeman was allowed to run for Australia in a full body suit ... that was way back on 2000!

I seem to recall that at the last Olympics a beach volleyball team from an Islamic country were allowed to wear more conservative outfits. Why can't athletes wear what they are comfortable with? (Even if they want to wear signal red at Wimbledon.)

I’m so with Norway over this one!!! If anyone argues against them wearing shorts then I expect the men’s team to also be forced to play in thongs

What if a politician had said this?

[Jim Al-Khalili @jimalkhalili]

Sitting in the garden with a glass of red wine and one of Iain M Banks' Culture series books and felt had to share this genius phrase I just read: the most effusive 'thank you':

"My gratitude extends beyond the limits of my capacity to express it".

Must use this sometime.

[Brownhills, Pelsall, Shelfield and Rushall Police @BrownhillsWMP]

Patrols around Clayhanger and Brownhills yesterday following complaints of anti-social behaviour. Youths have been attending the grounds of the derelict former Royal Oak public house. Not only should they not be there but it is also a danger to themselves! ⚠️

@BrownhillsBob It is a nightshade. Bittersweet aka woody nightshade. Apparently not poisonous. Source: Harrap's Wild Flowers.

@theAliceRoberts Just because "it isn't done" is no reason for it not being done. I suspect this is one more misogynistic swipe on behalf of the stuck-in-the-mud academe that excluded women for so long.

[Brownhills Commoner @BhillsCommoner]

@Kryfold_Sky Oh yes!

[Brownhills Commoner @BhillsCommoner]

@Kryfold_Sky Thanks. I can't really tell, but my connector screwed into another cylinder, so I am ok for now. Maybe it just needs a clean. Anyway, will try Calor, as suggested. Mind you, if you have not had this problem in so many years it must be rare.
