Re: Garden furniture

Your garden furniture journey sounds like a fun adventure! I used to be all about maximizing every inch of my land for veggies too, but adding a cozy outdoor space for friends changed the game.

Re: New definition of extremism (2024)

It has been suggested that, by the government’s new definition of extremism, the government is indeed an extremist organisation as the laws they have passed restricting our right to protest, by definition negate or destroy the fundamental rights and freedoms of others.

Re: Surprising Strictly

This type of dances never stop to impress me, once in a while I'd watch 1 or 2 and I'd be flabbergasted and then be sad that it isn't appreciated enough sometimes.. For non-dancers, many of whom are relatively unfit, I find it amazing how quickly some of them reach a high standard in their dancing.
