They were about £13 each. Goes on front of the frame in the interior mounted with velcro straps and has a zip in the middle to unzip and open/close the window. Keeps the flies and moths out thankfully.

Although Ironically, I found a small spider camped on my net catching the bugs who get stuck on it! Lazy bug-ger can't build his own web! But I left him be.

It's an absolute lifesaver- beforehand I'd hate opening the window due to the insects. My bedroom would get extremely warm. Now I can vent air out and not worry about critters.

I'm just glad that >30º nonsense is over.

Another summer defeated by British sweat, sunburn and ice lollies.

I'm hot and grumpy and everything aches. Roll on winter!

People have always been trying to find ways around the paywall. Turns out I was able to download my library app (LibrariesNI, I don't know if other UK libraries have the same benefits, but I assume they would) somehow dug out my old childhood library card details (I had it saved on Google Drive because of school I guess from when I was a kid?). Anyway I logged on, it prompted me to download an app called "Libby" which then offers 30 day access to pressreader which seems to be infinitely renewable.. at least I hope it is

Anyway, thought you should know

The answer, of course, is no.

Visiting London for a few days, and noticed a lot of half-mast flags: red cross on a white background (reminiscent of some crusaders, Templars?) any symbolism behind them being shredded? Its a lot of them, must have cost a ton of money…

But .txt is not the same as .rs; yet .txt is not the same as .docx, although both of these files look the same to the human eye.

Hi. I've never been to the UK and I prefer coffee over tea but your comedy panel shows are the shit. So far I've enjoyed Would I Lie To You, 8 Out of 10 cats, Big Fat Quiz, QI, Taskmaster, and Last One Laughing. What should I watch next?

Some time on Friday/Saturday my 2 recycling wheelie bins disappeared from my back yard. I found them on the back street and they were fully empty. I presumed that the collection day had changed and maybe a neighbour took them out for me. Except it's collection day tomorrow and every neighbour has their bins out and they're all full.

What's happened? Anybody got a clue? If it was just one bin I could guess that somebody needed cardboard or aluminium or was trying to steal my identity. I'd be fine with that. But who would take both?!?

I always assumed the term is used specifically to differentiate it from "working days", but talking to my bank today they claimed that "calendar days" doesn't include weekends and bank holidays.

Asking Brits who saw Threads when they were in school in the 80's (I guess you're probably in your early to mid 50's now, right?).

How did you and others in your class react to the film? Did you and your peers worry much around that time?

Just finished it myself, and it was very convincing in how it depicted the effects of a nuclear attack. Some of the events detailed as precursors to nuclear war were also worryingly similar to current events.

We’ve been on holiday with two dogs. The last few days have been so hot that we could go out with them only early in the morning. Thankfully the place we are staying has stone walls and seemingly good loft insulation that moderate temperature fluctuations.

How have you been coping?
