I wonder if Facebook sent me this out of concern for my health or because of the amusing typo?

After I'd done my first trip to sea I decided to get a tattoo. Believe it or not I got it in Stoke. I was once asked in a ship's bar if Stoke was a port (by a Filipino Officer as I remember.)
I had to reply: "Only if you're very f***ing seriously aground." :heyhey:

Should have told him the dock area is known as Port Vale.

I sailed with all kinds of nationalities, but I found Filipinos very British like. Colonised by everybody and their dog over a long history (including Europeans.) Must be that island mentality. (And they've got a lot of islands.) You might think Japan is the equivalent of Britain in the far east, but I've always thought the Philippines was a much better equivalent.
Had I mentioned Port Vale to a Filipino, he would probably have told me he supported Accrington Stanley … :heyhey:

I'm being offered supplies of frozen fish food.

I don't have any fish, or an aquarium to keep them in...

...or even a freezer to keep this food in, whilst I organise getting an aquarium and sourcing some fish.

Amazon wants to sell me a product that it describes as a "dual toilet seat".

Whilst I might applaud their dedication to water conservation, I haven't clicked on their link as it sounds just that little bit too 'cosy' to me...

Facebook thinks that I might buy this car in Stoke - possibly, they think that I will be swayed by the 'atmospheric' image?

They're still determined that I should buy a Micra - this one may have some heater and/or screenwasher issues.

I bought some stuff off an eBayer in Japan, and, as he often has interesting items, I 'saved' him as a seller and have just got an alert about his current offerings. He deals in two largely separate styles of offerings, quality tools and cosmetic products.

I have decided to put a picture of one of his current offerings here, just so that you don't get a history of Googling for it.

Extra hard, of course.
