So it has been raining heavily on and off since last night. Doesn't bother me in the caravan but tonight is supposed to be the big firework display up in Weston town centre. It's slightly weird as almost every year it gets...

If you decided to start a website, and there was nothing standing in your way, what would the subject matter be? Have you ever tried to start one? I know some of you have talked about starting your own site, and from reading your...

Fleur I did have a go at starting one, I think it might have been after someone - it may well have been you - suggested it. It was intended to be about one of my favourite topics, of making, mending, and repurposing things. I guess it was a rather half-hearted...

Yes, I have stayed up watching TV and now I have got the munchies. I have two chicken strips with pakora coating on. I'm going to put them in the microwave and have them as a sandwich with some mayo. Do you get the midnight...

There are several people here on MyLot that have an interest in true crime, serial killers and the minds of serial killers. Last night I watched Part 1 of an interview with Jeffrey Dahmer called "Dahmer on Dahmer". Aside from...

Fleur It's a difficult question when things like that come into it - is the person really in control of their own behaviour?

Fleur That's unlucky. Our local fireworks (run by the Scouts) has only ever been cancelled once in about 50 years.

Fleur A shame that's your abiding memory of starting school. Traumatic events do stick in the memory better than happy ones, unfortunately.

I got to speak Irish today when I went into a cafe in Donegal. “Ba mhaith liom caife le do hoil” I told the girl at the counter. Since coffee was then produced I guess she understood me and didn’t think I was proposing marriage....

Fleur That sounds wonderful and I'm glad there are still mainstream Irish speakers. Irish directions though, are in a league of their own. I remember arriving at a crossroads where three of the four signposts pointed to the same place name. Presumably you could get...

Fleur Nothing particularly special in November for us. Bonfire night on the 5th - that just means a few fireworks and some mulled wine - and Remembrance Sunday on the 9th this year (nearest Sunday to Armistice day on the 11th).

Fleur I wonder why dropping every tenth voter would have such an effect? You would imagine that would just reduce the count for every candidate.
