@variablepulserate Mental health issues, generally someone of middle-eastern or African origin. Seems this was a 17-year-old, some reports saying originally from Cardiff, some say he arrived last year. Allegedly "known to the security services". But whatever, what kind of disturbed piece of crap does this? Little kiddies enjoying a summer dance club, stabbed to death. I despair of this country at times. What have we become.
Shocking news from Southport today. I know I'm not exactly child-friendly, but this is just horrific. Seems like the usual story, too. ☹
@variablepulserate Maybe, but it gets extra things checked, gets oil changed and stuff. There was a time when I did that myself, even changing oil filters, on the old 205.
I guess now the car is 12 years old, maybe having a service history isn't relevant. I shall probably keep it until it breaks now.
Oh, grief. To use swipe typing on the iPad I have to use the Swiftkey keyboard, because Apple seems to think I wouldn't want to do anything other than type. 😡 Trouble is, the Swiftkey keyboard supports two languages only and mine is currently set up for Esperanto and Welsh. It gives some very interesting results at times.
@variablepulserate It's had that forever. Weird, though. Must pay mine before the end of the month. 🙄 And deep joy, next month is MOT/service. Well, by mid-September, but I usually get it done in late August, because I'm less busy.
@matigo I think when I was young it was mostly used as a term for a radio.

@variablepulserate Well that threw me. I assume it’s medicine for the tranny (transmission). Perhaps it’s American terminology? 🤷♀ A long way from my initial guess was, as you might imagine. 🤦♀
Farcebork ads… This one made me blink. I wondered quite how the algorithm picked it for me - so of course I had to look. Something to do with cars. 🤷♀ Well I guess I now know there's such a thing as automatic transmission fluid anti-judder additive. Given I drive an automatic, I'm sure my life is that little bit more complete nowl
