@LordYoshoku Yes and it would probably turn into a money pit and drive you mad....

@zaichishka How awful, thank God you are not in the UK as that would probably warrant arrest these days...

@Red_Rory8 I wasn't dehydrated - I'd actually made sure of that in advance, because it's been mentioned to me before and the NZ blood service specifically mentions it when you book. Some of us just have recalcitrant veins.

Went to give blood for the 2nd time and got a keyring! I felt like a bit of a fraud, though, because my veins refused to play ball and they could only get about 100ml out of me.

@jac_siuhaj Isnt it just?

Simple dinner again but chili is a must

@Keir_Starmer Did you tell them about your bombs and guns sent to the Zionist regime to kill innocent children?

@BudoNick Very, very sad that such pain can be inflicted on the innocent. The biggest issue with bullying is not only that it exists, but it often exists in plain sight and is ignored by those in power.

@yvonneridley It's fascinating and disturbing. I thought that democracy was about freedom of speech? I thought that we punished oppression and injustices. I thought the law was to protect the innocent. I thought the press was to challenge those in power. Who is the real puppet master?

@guardian Too little too late. A pathetic attempt by Starmer to extricate his Government from the possible legal allegations of war crimes...

@NewstalkFM So has Keir Starmer

The Oasis ‘cash grab’ shows the band has forgotten its working-class roots, according to one music fan. newstalk.com/news/oasis-cas…

@kanduvai Cowardly bastards!

@MichaelRosenYes @kalahar1 A German chap called Himmler often expressed the view that Jews were inferior to other races and this was the bedrock of Nazi ideology which resulted in the tragedy that we now refer to as the holocaust.

@LSStitchnBitch @CeilNoyle @guardian It's all a repetition of the disgraceful coverage of the Iraqi War by the British Media. Starmer is the new Blair but even more dangerous because he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer

Every Israeli victim gets a headline photo in the Guardian alongside individual obituaries. Palestinian victims are no longer even mentioned. You cannot reform this.

@FormerSpring @CeilNoyle I agree after 30 years of loyal readership I long ago abandoned that rag...

@CeilNoyle They lost me as a reader long ago. I never see any reason to return, only more writing which repels me.

@CeilNoyle What do you expect in Starmer's land that upholds the time honoured tradition of colonialism where freedom of speech is stifled if voiced against the oppressor and where if you speak out against war crimes, you are in danger of being imprisoned?

@BlackManJapan1 Bazashi? Never, it would be against my religion, but Kujira? All day, every day

Bazashi, yes or no

@LordYoshoku Sorry to hear that, best not to think about what you have lost but to dwell on what he gave. That was some run...

@PaulRomainCPFC @RacingPost He isn't a British horse, do you need a Geography lesson? He will definitely make the frame and probably win.

@RacingPost I wouldn’t back a British horse at 10/1 on dirt

🗣 “The thing Americans do best is dirt racing” Is City Of Troy backable at 10-3 for the Breeders' Cup Classic? racingpost.com/news/reports/e…

@primarily_prog @Matthew_DS9 Snobbery is a form of ignorance

@Matthew_DS9 I’d agree that most people who condemn others for their musical tastes are driven by a degree of snobbery.

Strange how some folk regard their personal musical tastes to objectively and undisputedly define the quality of what they like. Stranger still that they’re arrogant enough to condemn others for not agreeing with them.

@jac_siuhaj Oh boy I gave away a huge CD collection to Oxfam before I left the UK of which there were about 100 classical...

@hp88 @SnufkinJapanes1 Yes and that's the point, it does not cater for tourists. I had some crass woman hard selling an annual pass to me at Battle Abbey last year. When I (politely) explained that I lived in Japan she was assuring me that three visits and I would get value. Yawn!

@Red_Rory8 @SnufkinJapanes1 It is definitely expensive but it does include a year’s pass* (if validated) so local people can go multiple times. Not much good for visitors who will only visit once! Sorry it was pricey Snufkin and I hope you can go again to make it worth it! (*or did when I went last)

Wandering western Europe for four months. Blenheim Palace in England. It's a world heritage and a recommendation of 𝐇𝐏88 @hp88, thank you.
