The SNP have done phenomenally well. Pushed the LibDems underwater.

Fantastic result. Best of luck for the future as an independent nation.

Our toads hop. But they also crawl over rocks. I think it depends on the terrain. They are land animals and eat a lot of slugs and worms.

That flow is so fast, I hope no one is in the path of all that water. Utterly lethal.
Over a hundred shacks were washed away. A man saved his wife and child but was swept away in the flood and they found him drowned in his car. It's been chaotic. But hello sun today. Haven't seen it since Thursday last week. Had to endure another power cut (another one later on at 5 pm.) but have managed to get two loads of washing out. It will rain again, I suspect. Make hay while the sun shines at the moment.

I'm a pagan so I disagree.

That's interesting!

Actually it's just a case of having won a referendum rather than not being democratic. It's the losers of that who want another one and are thus often a bit nasty in order to avoid the fact that they don't like it uppem.

You're not alone in this.

Yesterday I came into my study and saw something clinging to the curtain, spreadeagled and brownish. At first I thought it was a mouse. I went closer to find it was a toad. It had somehow got into the house and was trying to get to the pond and had climbed the curtain but was sorta stuck. It saw me approach and its little heart started pumping with dread.
I took it up in a paper towel and disentangled it from the curtain and took it outside and put it down on the soggy paving. It woke up, bunched itself and started hopping toward the greenery. Hopped away into the jungle of the delicious monster plant. Such beautiful markings on its back, like a leopard. I was fascinated by its supple hopping. Soft landings and long strides. It has no doubt found the pond, although they are land animals and only use water for breeding. Have got to know them so well after so many have been bred in our pond. They are terrified of birds and snakes and stay out of open spaces.

I've never eaten duck. Would like to try it sometime.

So much rain! Been pouring since last Thursday, day and night. The dam in our nature reserve is overflowing:

I tend to distance myself from anything on two legs without feathers.

Thursday, Thursday, don't be slow,
Be like Elvis, Go man, Go!

I live in hope ...

I agree with Fidget that it's a fun quiz. My fave colour was green, so I missed that one. I am not a communist, though, it's quite correct. It told me I am right wing. Absolutely, my dear Watson. I believe in a number of socialist aspects to any society through government, though, so not a fascist at all. I don't have any isms or ideologies. I am just myself. I would like everyone else to be free to be themselves too. Within reason

He turned up eventually, H. Thank the giant space gnome. He couldn't get the text messages because of power cuts. We are on one now. Generator chuffing away. Hail Thor

He is incurable and should never be allowed anywhere near society as long as he lives.

Nasty situations developing where I am now as rivers flood and gush all over the place. An informal settlement in the township in my city is flooded. I'm so worried about one of our Zimbabwean handymen. He was supposed to come and fetch his pay this afternoon and he's not answering his phone and hasn't turned up. Hope to God he hasn't been swept away.

He's psychotic, he should never be released.

I'm not that unkind to them. I know what it's like. I've been called a whore, my mother has been referrred to in a similar manner, I've been personally insulted, my body, my race, my mind, my qualifications. It has been exhausting.
I am not a thick skinned person and I lose my temper. That made things worse. They love that, like teasing a scorpion in a box.
I totally sympathise with anyone who has been bullied. Few would do it it to your face. Few would survive your response.
What is tragic is the number of people driven to suicide by it. Quite a lot come to the net to find companionship because they are lonely, or sick or disabled and many are just very young and others have just causes they want to promote or support. The way trolls rip into them has been a disgrace. Nothing done to stop it. In my not so humble opinion, that isn't free speech that is criminal abuse.

Yes, H. It's a sort of lucky dip as to whether you get something or nothing or get broiled in a heat wave. Winter is great, summer is a pot luck affair.

I once got forum kicked for saying I didn't think Earth was being visited by UFOs when some posters were saying that lights above their estate were passing space craft. The Ufologists on the forum descended on me like a ton of badger dung just because I said I thought that was unlikely in the extreme.

It's fashionable to be able to go public with a little mantra they have given you to chant about how much you hate those who do whatever is politically incorrect. "Me too," and all that bull.
-
I've also been fingerprinted a number of times, for getting a new ID card, for permission to open a business, etc. It stops chancers, criminals and illegals from doing it.

Hardly anyone has believed me when I have said who and what I am over the years. It's a bit strange. They still do it to me even though others who know me try to put them right. I have concluded that some people like to gaslight other people. It gives them some sort of perverse satisfaction.
-
Yes, but not as serious. Ridiculously well paid footballers and other celebs should just count their riches and think of how lucky they are by comparison with the thugs and losers who are shouting abuse from the stands.

You can't lock someone up for making noises. For throwing missiles, you can fine them or kick them off the terraces. Prison is a punishment that is handed out to everyone for the slightest misdemeanour. It's nuts.
