Drove to work this morning at 6am, light dusting of fog certainly not requiring fog lights but thought to myself cant wait for the fog light brigade on Facebook.
Around 8am a post moaning about people not using their fog lights, the chap is now copying and pasting the same reply to everybody about how "fog acts very different at different altitudes" . Neither me or other residents of MK were aware that we had a tall mountain range in MK.

Some one found a dog muzzle and popped it on a postbox on cockbang road, with a picture to help find owner
Now all the Huns are tagging their mates in because there obviously is a nasty dog on the prowl waiting to eat toddlers, people are calling for the dog warden and armed police etc
They can’t engage their brain that the picture was taken in the dark and it’s now light - so if there was a marauding monster, it’d probably be gone by now
Then Mavis pops up “ha yes that’s mine, my greyhound wears it when off lead as it eats stones, I take it off when he is on the lead, I must have dropped it”
They’ve now all moved back to the road that needed resurfacing and now they are all confused by the fact the road is shut in a few days for resurfacing

The "No Mow May" fanatics are out again on one of the local village Facebook pages.
Yesterday one of them posted an article where "Sir David Attenborough has urged Brits to 'delay mowing' their lawns - and told people that this common gardening task shouldn't occur until mid-July.".
Not believing he would say such a thing I found the BBC's Wild Isles episode that was quoted. What he did say was that farmers should delay mowing wild meadows until mid July.
When I pointed this out I was told "every little helps". Again I said he did not say this.
The response: "I thought people would listen if it came from David Attenborough". Again I said he did not say this.
This is the same group where people last July complained that "Snowing dandelion seeds, for the second day.... will be vacuuming the lawn at this rate..... why have XXXXX have allowed the weeds to grow so big in the asparagus fields , as this is where the majority are coming from!!!!"

"Has anyone lost a rabbit in Coburn Road? I just drove down and saw a poor bunny hopping across the road. Couldn't catch him as he disappeared under the fence"
"Oh, poor thing, i hope he gets home safe"
"I've sent a message to Diane A**** who runs the Animal Ambulance charity asking her to have a look for it"
Bear in mind, this is a rural area, with fields full of rabbits in every direction. I'm sure Diane will just love spending hours looking for a rabbit that presumably buggered off several days ago

The pictures of places full of cars with their headlights on was hilarious. You need a good dark place to see them well. Even in Iceland on a good night they look weak in Reykjavik and you really need to get out of town into a national park or other empty area for a good view.
I could see them fine at my house. 100 yards off the A20 and about 1/4 mile from the M20 and all the well lit junctions between them. Drove a few miles out in the countryside and didn't notice much difference.WarrenB said:
These are people who record videos of fireworks in portrait on their phones, or try and take pictures of a full moon on full digital zoom with the flash on. I don't think their minds can comprehend using common sense and logic.
On MSN yesterday was the tale of two folk who'd posted on fb they'd stood in wonder at the purple lights then realised they'd mistaken the glow from the local Premier Inn... .IRC was a little before my time, but ICQ and msn messenger were responsible for most of the female action in my life before I could get out and about aged 18, good times
I am still baffled to this day why msn messenger stopped with no transition program, I had the majority of my mates in it and since it dropped everyone went to different products and got a bit disjoint
I certainly lost contact with a bunch of contacts

When I was 16 or 17 I met a lovely girl on there same age as me and she’d often message me when she was bored….. ,that noise was music to my ears. Really good times
Same for me. My missus of 11 years came from MSN chat ! I believe its somewhat abrupt closure was due to too many "pedo" stories coming out. The youngsters of today probably have no clue what ASL meant.Edited by r3g on Friday 17th May 16:03
