That looks far too complex. I’m not convinced he’s that literate.

Apparently an early warning sign of Alzheimer’s as well...

Oh I know - I don’t expect for a moment she’ll be fired, but the UK police do take online stuff fairly seriously, so I’m allowing myself a tiny bit of hope that she’ll have to haul herself down to a station and get a caution or something.

She’s a national treasure, no? (ALL the sarcasm). Same woman who compared refugees to “cockroaches.” Apparently she was reported to the police for the final solution comment, and there are calls for the DM to fire her - doubtful anything very concrete will come of it, but hopefully her life is at least made difficult

Please do that. The Daily Mail would love it. Think of the headlines! Hours of mindless entertainment...

Amidst my barely contained rage at this imbecile, this made me smile. Thanks, I think I needed that!

A multi-band show thrown by a local Philly rock station - try not to judge, but as I recall, the Offspring were the headliners. (My taste in music has only improved minimally since I was a teen, alas).

Based on where the bomb went off and what time it happened, I think we’ll also see a lot of parents among the injured and dead who were coming to pick up their children after the concert. Remember going to the first concert your parents let you go to with your friends, as long as they dropped you off and picked you

I approve all of your messages.

My husband is practically St. Francis. He has never met an animal he didn’t bond with, and animals of all varieties adore him. Except swans. He has bitten no less than three times by swans over the years (he does a lot of outdoor water sports; he’s not actively courting their attention!), and likes to maintain at

True story - I grew up in a rural area with lots of ponds and such, hence lots of ducks. My dad took me (toddler at the time) and my baby sister out for a walk one day to feed the friendly local ducks. He turned his back on me for half a second to adjust something in my sister’s stroller, and turned back to find me

I work in development, and the “places to worship” bit got a raised eyebrow. In my experience, people living in abject poverty don’t ask for churches, or temples, or mosques. They ask for schools, clinics, wells, training programs, cash, etc. Anyone that tells you the people requested a church usually wanted to build

My mother in law got divorced at 40 and assumed that was that on her love life (this was the mid 80s in rural Wales, divorced women were not held in particularly high esteem). She met the man who’d become “the love of her life” five years later at a rugby match. They are now in their 70s and still very happily

Damnit. I was so sure of Simbab as well! I humbly bow to your superior collection of useless info :)

I feel like that movie was called Simbad though, no? (Absolutely no idea why my brain has kept that utterly useless bit of info for the past two decades!)

I THOUGHT you might be talking about Exton, which is why I asked. My first job was bagging groceries at that Croppers, haha.

That video gives me great joy. The eagle knew!

Honeybrook? No shit, what a small world. I’m from Guthriesville (technically outer edge of Downingtown as poor Guthriesville didn’t have its own zip code) originally. Depending on when you lived there, we were within 10-15 minutes of each other.

Can you imagine a dog loving Donald Trump? I’ve just tried picturing it, and I think it would be impossible. Dogs would sense his awfulness and keep their distance.

Hello, fellow Pennsylvanian! I’m from Downingtown originally - last time I was home, about a year ago, I had to pop into the KoP and was startled by, as you say, its oddly thriving status. New stores were opening and everything! It seems to be flying in the face of every other retail space in the country - I haven’t
