If the Lyme River flows through that town, I do hope not too much of town lies under it.
Cheers, John |

I've seen them on a folk festival stage once, but it was pouring down and I'd had a few Scrumpys. This will be better. I really like them. I didn't realise you were in the UK!

It looks like the leader of ISIS has been killed. He blew himself up in a tunnel as US Special Forces closed in. I consider this excellent news.
Cheers, John |
Many here felt that the death of bin Laden was good news, too:
https://www.ablemuse.com/erato/showthread.php?t=14078 I have nothing to add to that thread, other than a reminder that bin Laden's removal created a power vacuum that led to the formation of ISIS. So those who feel jubilant might want to keep that in mind. |
True, Julie, but jubilant isn’t my word, and like Kant, I will treat this moment, this event as absolute in assessing it, before I second-guess its consequences. The man was evil and caused evil, and he has removed himself from the world.
Cheers, John |
Julie, that resembles the argument many people make that we shouldn't impeach and remove Trump because Pence may be worse. To which I say, let's deal with one problem at a time.

May I make a polite plea, please?
Can we keep this thread for happy, personal news which will cheer us all up? (Not publication successes or world news; we have The Accomplished Members and General Talk for that stuff.) Thanks :) Jayne |
My bad, Jayne, sorry. I forgot about General Talk. I wasn’t expecting to start a flame war though! There’s not been a lot of good world news and I got excited.
Cheers, John |
I recently returned from a lovely holiday in the Turks and Caicos Islands, where my sister has a house. It was only ten days, but by the end, you can imagine how sick I was of all that turquoise ocean, white sand, brilliant sunshine, and fresh lobster tails ...
