It amazes me that so many of these people who moan about the rising cost of gas/petrol /electricity /etc and say they have no money can afford to buy fireworks.

I have a confession to make, my much travelled tools have been hidden away and shamefully neglected for some years. So when l opened my tool box and found not just tools but memories , l was consumed by guilt and now l am in the process of cleaning them and recalling the life l had in far flung parts of the world. I will post photos of some of the tools l have had for the best part of fifty years and one or two unique ones that were made for me by my Chinese employees.

Doesn't work quite that way here in the UK.
There's plenty enough decent free-to-air / free streaming TV here in the UK, but you have to cough up for a licence to be able to use it. Only radio here is totally free. Although you used to have to have a licence for radios as well.
Basically, the license fee funds the BBC, which does not receive any revenue from advertising, but you also need said licence to be able to watch commercial TV as well.

Well, he has gone quiet since.
I wonder if there's been any power outage's near him.

I have a lingering suspicion that I forgot to put National Amnesia Day in my diary for today. I keep on having to take second runs at things I was about to do but couldn't remember what that thing was. I've been fairly successful at remembering, though, but setting off twice to do anything once seems a little inefficient to me.

Have you remembered what you forgot yet?

It was a radio one through what's now Absolute Radio to go to the gaelic football final as part of some Irish shower brand they were promoting.
