@Smil3yAngel @SwampIsFULL Once, during a trip to Cuba, a buddy and I were eating at the resort buffet. They had Rabbit and Frogs legs but he was confused by the signs. He was REALLY ENJOYING his choice, and said "This Rabbit is great!" I said "Ribbet, Ribbet". He pushed his plate away in disgust.

@SwampIsFULL LOL 😂🐰 My parents made me eat moose once. They told me it was regular steak though and I ate it. They told me later it was moose 🫎🫣 Not quite as cute as a bunny, but I still wasn't happy, lol.

When my nieces and nephews were little, I used to tell them on Easter, I was making Hasenpfeffer with the Easter bunny for dinner. I was not the favorite aunt Kiki that day ever. 🤣🤣🤣

@cqcqcqdx Great value! I've had my identical Weller since High School, so... 1958-61? Every so often, I need to do a heavy soldering job and it is perfect.

@RichBernard Happened to me at a Hilton in Pittsburgh one time. Loyal HH member. First room had unmade bed and hair in the soap dish. Second looked like your pic. Third was 'OK'. Day staff suggested I write to Hilton. No response, but Hilton then treated me like a VIP all chain worldwide.

Some twat somewhere is having a right laugh. Hotel option 2, as hotel one decided they couldn’t help whatsoever, despite me being stood in their reception with a booking.

@ThatEricAlper The shoebox!! Rush to dig out one of the boxes I save, thinking "MUST have looked here before." Nope, my Woodstock tickets-mint never needed because the fences were down- are not there. I AM 80 and still think that they must be tucked away somewhere. Suspect stolen. Still hope.

Thanks to @serpentza for the video and to all who replied to my non-critical query. To those who simply called me a "retard" or 'effing idiot' for my question, I'll take that as info. At least I'm not Following CGTN.

Currently I follow two posters here on @X , @ShangguanJiewen and @serpentza who both claim to be reporting from China. Very different perspectives. Can anyone confirm that one or both are either flogging Fake News or providing Good Data? Burning EVs or working electric trucks?

@ThatEricAlper Dunno. My Jeep Cherokee of similar vintage to the one pictured had lots of power but also had the WORST traction of any vehicle I've ever owned. I finally dumped it because the antics of the rear end were scaring me.

@serpentza @X Thanks for the explanation. I see a lot of burning 'EVs" that cannot be identified so I'm trying to sort out the real from the hype. I first visited and saw much of China in 1976 well before any tourism was possible and I have a continuing interest.

@TheBobber @X @ShangguanJiewen @ShangguanJiewen works for the Chinese government state media and doesn’t have the freedom to be objective, I lived in China for 14 years, speak, read and write Chinese and am married to a Chinese wife with Chinese family but currently live in the USA so I have freedom of speech.

Just paid £34 for a haircut. Not quite sure I had £34 of hair to cut in the first place.

Carney: "Europe, Australia, Canada, Japan and South Korea. This is a coalition with a GDP larger than the US, three times China’s trade flows and the world’s largest investment in R&D. We can build a better future" Hats off to leaders who inspire hope and a brighter future.
