We are sitting on top of Britain's Nuclear arsenal here, where is Ipswich?

Look on the bright side. The ospreys will soon be returning  and we can have the pleasure of watching them via webcam  :)

Can I lighten the topic just for a minute? it does us good sometimes in dark times to see some humour.

Nothing like a bit of "gallows" humour.

Just reading in my newspaper that energy saving experts are warning that people shouldn't watch too much television during the virus outbreak because of the impact on the planet of the increased carbon dioxide emissions. It seems that if the virus doesn't get us climate change will.

For the sake of my sanity maybe I should give up reading newspapers so that I don't end up reading this nonsense.

Can I lighten the topic just for a minute? If you are easily offended then please read the next post instead of mine.
Someone on an internet group of which I am a member shared a comical scenario she had encountered that morning. A delivery driver had called at her door with a parcel & had said, with a straight face, “I'm sorry, you’re not allowed to, touch my thingy anymore”.
Many people had a good laugh about it & the responses were very funny, it does us good sometimes in dark times to see some humour.
Keep safe everyone x



Love it  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Maybe a bit more thingy touching would work wonders in lifting the mood in these trouble times, please form an orderly queue ;)
A bit of humour is a real tonic  :D
Stay safe everyone.

Don't forget you may need those newspapers if you have to go back to using newspaper when you can't get toilet roll. You are probably too young - but many others will remember that's what we used to use!

It implies that she'd touched it on previous occasions. :o
