Clearly it was an issue with the teacher at the time

Maybe it was the kick up the arse you needed

In early adulthood I worked in a job that encouraged block letter print (all caps) and it became an ingrained habit, never done lowercase cursive since really

I once worked in an archival records job and found my exact name in my exact handwriting from decades before I was born

My neighbours. Someone from a couple of houses up the street noticed a tiger snake slithering along our front lawn and then going under the side gate. They were nice enough to leave a note on our front door alerting us and we were able to get a snake catcher out. They didn't find it but it nice that we knew it was there and have the reassurance of knowing it was gone. If they didn't say anything and it was still out the back and the dog went out there it would have ended badly.

My 15 year old daughter who runs her own cake making business just did a weeks work experience at the local bakery. Today she found out that the owner has paid for a year’s subscription to a cake decorating and recipe site as a thank you to her. There really are some nice people around.

Did she say to the boss "cake you very much?"

Been importing lots of bluray and 4k movies in recent months.

What pleases me about it currently is the delivery times have gotten faster. Usually I'll wait 11-21 days. But in recent times they've arrived within 6 days of ordering.

Dave Morris back in the news. He was one of the two people who self represented themselves in the famous McLibel trial against McDonald's that was the longest in British legal history and a complete disaster for the company.

Happening live right now.

Mad bastard walking across a slackline across the Straits of Messina from Sicily to Italy, 3.6km long and 200m in the air.



Including live helmetcam.

 

[Billy ray]

Awesome
I loved this feat back in the day

 

[Over The Post]

He's been going nearly 2 hours and has done about 2300m. Only 400m to set the new world record.

 

[Quivorir]

Can't believe I just sat and watched that for 10 minutes.

 

[Over The Post]

He's just passed the world record distance - only another 900m to get to the other side

 

[cats_09]

The incline to the finish line looks crazy

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

The kids are staying up to watch the end with me, we’re enthralled

 

[cats_09]

He fell

 

[Quivorir]

Crazy. What an effort. Good on the fella.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

He was so close!
