I happened to have captioning turned on in YouTube and it came up with the phrase: Children aged 10:55 Which was too clever by half! The spoken phrase was_ Children aged 5 to 11.

You know how we always think that it's a new thing how some people value people for just being celebs essentially... well... saw one of those blue plaques marking the area where a mistress of a prince in the 1800 lived at the time she knew the prince!

Loose Women ITV star Carol McGiffin was forced to quit after a bizarre radio rant, including claiming the Covid pandemic was a World Health Organisation plot to take over every government.
There is more including her claim that Covid patients from France were imported to Britain to fill empty hospital beds?

Yes
Sadly it is out of warranty. The main contractor promised it would last forever but the builders disappeared into the darkness leaving no forwarding address. The man in overall control is long gone. He was a local lad made god named Marcus Ulpius Traianus known as Trajan to his mates.
The bridge is on the main road in the extreme west of central Spain, without it there is no easy way of getting the car repaired. As of about 10 years ago, they imposed both a weight and speed restriction but to little avail, the HGV in the picture had just blown its horn to move some pesky tourists out of its way.
We are very poor and we cannot afford a new bridge but those nice people in Brussels made all their supporters cough up about 25 céntimos to pay for its replacement.
They will leave the old bridge for now till we see how long the new one is likely to last.

Baz, there is a lot of pressure on males to sit down and many toilets have a sign showing the way to do it and not to stand. Even in private houses. Don't know if you've seen these or are aware of the culture in Germany in that respect. Being British I make a point of ignoring them and standing. If at my age I can't aim properly then there's no hope for me.

A double yolker - today I had one and had one several days ago. The funny thing is I had been thinking you don’t see double Yorkers anymore when Lo and behold out came one. Twice in less than a week. That’s saying something.

Last night we had friends for dinner. Clearing up after they had left I managed to drop the cutlery on the kitchen floor. Imagine my surprise when I was undressing to go to bed to find a dinner knife lodged in my shoe.
