Just three weeks to go, people! Still tickets available!

You can Google to find out how often you will be invited for breast screening. It depends on your age. Here you go: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/breast-screening-mammogram/when-youll-be-invited-and-who-should-go/ If you are over 71 you won't be automatically invited, but you can request a screening. It's all explained in the link above.

Could you make that a link? I don't want to Google it or type the www in case I then get inundated with - well, not sure exactly what, but I suspect I wouldn't want to be inundated with it 🤣

That's really annoying! They have deleted their posts. One person quoted one of them, but what was in the other one? Could somebody tell me what they said? Whatever it was, it seems they thought better of making it public! That was only when Cynthia was running her brothel there 🤣 But what would they be vetting them for? My mind is boggling 🤣 My mind is boggling again re celebrating Mother's Day 😀

For some reason I have thought for years that it was just a very expensive restaurant!

Does anyone know of anywhere local where I can hire a large shredder? The new Library of Things in the Leisure Centre doesn't presently have one, apparently because they are in the process of getting new improved ones. I would have preferred to use them, but I need to dispose of a very large amount of stuff, and I don't want to wait indefinitely. There's too much of it to dispose of by other methods, like soaking in the bath, and anyway I want to recycle it once it's shredded.

It was a specific technical comment re the wording of the questionnaire and its likely effect on the results. It was of no concern to anybody else. I posted saying that I had PMed because people don't necessarily see that someone has sent a PM. I thought it was important to feed it back given that the questionnaire was part of someone's major project. But I'm not sure why you seem to have taken this so personally! It has absolutely nothing to do with you!

Who owns/runs this place? They certainly seem to be holding some very strange events there. I thought it was still 1 April for a minute 😮

I was talking about the forum as a whole. Sorry, I didn't realise that you meant just this part of it!

Norberts? Is this something to do with Wallace and Gromit? 🤣

Ooops sorry, just realised Scott's expedition was a different one from Shackleton's, but nevertheless the following might still be of interest! Jake Wilson, a singer and guitarist who used to live locally (in Bellenden Road), wrote a series of songs about Scott's expedition, and produced a CD called "All's Well". He moved out of London a while back. I'm no longer in touch with him, but I googled and found the attached. I have a copy of the CD somewhere. This was in 2012, and Jake's website apparently no longer exists, so I guess he's doing other things these days.

I feel totally knocked off balance by all this stuff. What it must be like to be living in America, I can't begin to imagine.

I thought Musk was (in theory anyway) only supposed to be there for a limited time, for a specific purpose (DOGE) which is now completed?

Does anybody have a small trolley with wheels and shelves that they no longer want? It doesn't have to be in great condition as long as it's usable and reasonably sturdy, as it's for art materials. Thanks!

Does anyone know where the fireworks were actually coming from? If from someone's garden, that's even worse. Pity the poor immediate neighbours 😭
