Read somewhere that World Taekwondo was called the World Taekwondo Federation until 2017, when it dawned on them that the initials had other possible connotations.

I can quite see why they changed the name!

Our son, who has Downs Syndrome, enjoys going to his Taekwondo classes on a Saturday.  :)

The 'Searching for GOD*' thread hasn't been posted to for nearly a fortnight. Has it finally been the recipient of long-overdue assisted dying? Good bloody riddance, if so.
*Why the capital letters? I've often wondered.

It has a habit of resurrecting.

As to the capitals, I think that was Sassy paying obeisance to her god or something.

Bizarre news story of the month. Does it not occur to any of the whingers to just remove them, chuck the bananas in the dustbin, or compost heap, and wash and keep the plate?

Had a lovely e-mail from Netflix this morning.

They are updating my price from March.

No, you are not. You are increasing it by 20% you obfuscating gits.

Bad news, I'm afraid - I'm back! I've been unavoidably offline for a week or so, but now I'm back on line.

We had a broken fence panel after the last storm. A firm called 'Bespoke Garden Resolutions' was highly recommended by others who have had similar problems. They fitted a new fence panel on Saturday, I am most impressed with how quickly the job was done and how little I was charged.
