So aggressive. Have you considered the occasional cup of milk thistle tea? It'll calm you right down. Or lemon balm, maybe.

The news of all the man-of-the-household alpha males being terrified that their wives will secretly be voting for Harris makes this photo pretty funny.

Love hearing about this. I wonder if they managed any smaller bits from the same tree, they'd be interesting pieces of furniture too.

Twelve years old, this remains one of the finest cartoons ever drawn.

Ah, but like all the best Christian festivals, it was stolen from the pagans anyway... the druids were doing weird and spooky things on the same date hundreds of years before Jesus was doing his thing. There's a few neolithic tombs here (and Britanny, and Scotland, I think... don't quote me) that light up on or around the date that would become all-hallows. Edit: one of the worst hangovers I have ever had was celebrating Day of the Dead in a packed town square on the Cape Verde Islands, everyone dressed as skeletons, or at least in black-and-white only. The local spirit, grog (neat, strong, and medicinal, not the rum-and-water cocktail with which it shares the name, is f*cking violent. So yeah, Halloween is what a community makes of it.

Well, they did invent it. They were carving these things long before pumpkins made the trip across the Atlantic... No spooky turnips carved in this house this year, but we do have a watermelon in the lineup (unfortunately, a drip of juice extinguished the tealight)...

It was a highlight all right. There were some great displays, but what made it was this cluster of evangelicals behind us on the tannoy all throughout yelling about Jesus, eternal life, how silly we all were for celebrating a festival of death. Funny stuff! A blessing in disguise though, no-one wanted to get too close to them, leaving lots of space for viking vs. ninja/witch/astronaut battles while we were waiting for everything to start.

Ehh, it's been a thing here since the 9th century, and to be fair, it's a good bitta craic. Lighten up, grandad!

November 5th isn't a thing this side of the border obviously, but when we are in the UK at the right time, we try and see the display at Kenilworth Castle (my local). This year, we will gather whatever scrap wood we currently have in stock and have a little bonfire, jacket potatoes, hot apple juice, and sparklers. Yeah, not November 5th, but we were at the Derry Halloween parade last night which was a giggle. 40,000 people turn up I think, costumes semi-mandatory.

That was of course the last proper outing the NKs have had (off the top of my head...?) they've not had much experience since then... so they aren't exactly dropping the A-team into the fray. I understand NK are hugely grateful for the opportunity to get some first-hand combat experience to bring home, and up their own training standards a little.

True, I'm just trying to push my lefti'st agenda by any means possible.

This... sounds like an endorsement? But it could also be a condemnation. I like mine, anyway.

10% JD, not a good way to start the day. Get it together man.

Oof.

Interesting question about the 2nd line. Standard practice for a lot of industrial and rope rescue is a Petzl ASAP or similar on a static second line, which follows you around quietly and only bites when it moves quickly. Handy to have and just forget about it, but I don't know how that fits in with the legal requirements in UK arb. Can't be any more help I'm afraid, someone else will be along shortly.

*lefties No apostrophe for plurals unless you are Dutch. Language matters, and proper use of it helps get your point across. Well... helps if you have a point to make too, though.

Charge your damn phone, you maniac! Time is running out!!

...then they are exactly the kind of person to be welcomed into society as determined and hardworking people. Agreed.

Just have a quick look at how easy it is to drive from Colombia to Panama there...

Brave little soldier. Hope you gave all the treats.

SP, it's fine. He's white. Well, orange, but... white-ish.

Raise awareness? (Devil's avocado here...)
