Here's a wonder. Any other Neurodivergents out there who have weird temperature regulation issues? I have a cold, 2nd day, and I feel hot and clammy. My temp is 36.6C, which is warm for me. My 'normal' temp is around 35.5, which is borderline hypothermic.

Typical scenario. Wife's mobility chair refused to switch on. Did the usual kick it, take the battery out, put the battery in, waggle the cables, nowt. Rang a place to book an engineer for next week (he was on holiday). Sat down. Got up. Went through the whole rigmarole again, chair works perfectly.

Just seen three guys out jogging, each of them pushing a child in a push chair.

Of course that's what they are.

What do you think is the greatest ever TV news clip? For me this can never be beaten...

JD Vance just said on Fox that people shouldn't influenced "by a billionaire celebrity who I think is disconnected from the interests and the problems of most Americans."

That’s about it, isn’t it

I guess signups from Brasil are rising.

Short term occupations: Armchair Arsonist.

Going camping? Walking in our beautiful countryside? Take your waste home. All of it. You’re a poor excuse for a human if you don’t. Pass it on.
