I am having none of the problems mentioned above, either on my Android smartphone or on my. look at me, new Chromebook Plus. However, often as not I get a message back from the Chromebook when logging on to TWTD that the site is not secure and may be under attack. So then I just browse on the smartphone without posting - which I guess is a win for everyone else. |

Thread | Forget Burnley, China is where you need to look for an affordable house
at 15:36 30 Apr 2025
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpq7y8vl55yo
'...the collapse of the housing market. Many Chinese families invested their life savings in their homes, only to watch prices plummet in the last five years.
Housing developers continued to build even as the property market crumbled. It's thought that China's entire population would not fill all the empty apartments across the country.
The former deputy head of China's statistics bureau, He Keng, admitted two years ago that the most "extreme estimate" is that there are now enough vacant homes for 3 billion people.'
What intrigues me is families with life savings and no mention of council house building in a communist state. |

She got off very lightly when compared to this case in Brazil:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c62x6qx682jo
But then when you go beyond the headline you see that there is a bit more to the sentencing:
'Justice Cristiano Zanin, one of a panel of five judges overlooking Rodrigues's case, stressed she was not being tried solely for the graffiti and was convicted of multiple offences, but many in Brazil believe her sentence is too harsh.'
It's a sad sign that the BBC has descended a little too far into tabloid journalism in there frantic efforts to keep an audience, and that they age a defendant by ten years in the space of four paragraphs... |

The only alcoholic drink I know of that has some health benefits is red wine:
'Red wine is sometimes seen as a healthy choice, particularly as we associate it with the Mediterranean diet. But while it is often included in the traditional diet, it isn’t an essential part and should be drunk in moderation. It contains antioxidants, which reportedly have a range of benefits. However, other foods – including grapes, blueberries and strawberries – provide antioxidants without the negative effects of alcohol.
There is some evidence that a moderate intake of alcohol brings a small reduction in heart disease risk. But this is not the case for other conditions, such as stroke and vascular dementia, and alcohol is linked to some cancers.'

Short eared Owl on 17th January. I said to my neighbour who was giving me an early morning lift to the coach stop 'Blimey, you've got good eyesight to see its ears from here.' With a sigh he commented 'flight pattern...' |

Those diving boards at Broomhill were daunting, I think I jumped off the top one once (with knees crouched in and arms around as quickly as possible.) There was an apocryphal tale that someone did a belly flop from there and split their stomach open. |

Was funny at first but, like Joe Pasquale, the joke quickly wears thin and they become tiresome. So long winded too that I can no longer be bothered to read through the comments, could be someone on the forum with a comedy creation but looks like too much work for that. |

Reply | What team to support next season?
at 08:34 28 Apr 2025
Serious answer is Arsenal, but I wouldn't call it support. Just like to see them doing well (except when they play Town) as they seem to have some abiding ethos from the Wenger times plus a pathway for younger players to come through that gives some semblance of being a proper football club. Shame that doesn't extend to the fans... |

And our players out on loan at the moment ?
Humphreys - return and stay as a squad player
Harness - return but still unsure if he will depart, perhaps the Luongo replacement
Al-Hamidi - If Delap departs then do we need to keep him on his return, at least until we can find another striker |

Well, as Dick Emery hasn't brought Mings on I am switching my allegiance to that of our one time loanee's club and want Chris Wood's Nottingham Forest to win the cup now. Nothing to do with Villa being pants no-hopers and two-nil down... |
