Today I saw...

[John Marwood]

I bought one yesterday as it happens.

I still read a daily newspaper as in paper, not online and I still buy books.

Expect a call from some TV producers soonish

From bad to the worst

Using iPads may save on trees but tablets use a lot of resources you cannot replant

When was the last time anyone bought a magazine?

Anyone?...

I have my monthly subscription of the coast magazine and jolly good too it is !

 

[PeterD]

I have a couple of magazine subscriptions. Niche music mags.

 

[age'd parent]

Micro mart every week and the occasional camping mag.

I've never had a magazine sub or regularly bought one. About once a year I buy a cake decorating one IF it has a cake on the cover I think Spawn3 would like for her birthday. She's a Halloween girl. I find them excruciatingly filled with adverts and very little content.
Now catalogues are a different matter, I much prefer an actual one rather than looking online.

 

[PeterD]

We get a seed catalogue (if thats a subscription), uk rock n roll magazine, country music people magazine, caravan club magazine, we used to get the week and national geographic. I subscribed online to country weekly until they got wise that I was a limey and cancelled my subscription.

 

[Trumpet]

Just the one subscription to Bike magazine. Like a paper at the weekend usually The Telegraph for the supplements.

Popped to the Chetwynd Arms for early meal and sat outside as we had the dog with ius.
Half way through the meal we heard a massive crack/thunder type noise.
Looked up to see a branch split from a tree and land here...

Someone wearing a jacket proudly proclaiming 2 world wars and one world cup. Now the world cup is a given, we once won a game we invented, but the world wars were a team effort involving a combination of efforts from a variety of foreigners for the greater good. We had the fortune of the English channel, otherwise we'd have been buggered. Even with this natural barrier we need the help of others, we did not do it on our own. Whilst I applaud the nationalism that brought us together I can't take that out of context of those standing with us.

I ended up finding the jacket a bit like a Britain Furst post, half racist half satirical.

A woman from behind in a light pink long tailed top with a spilt in the bottom of it, wearing it over jeans, from a distance it looked like her bottom was on display, once established it wasn't her bottom another woman walked passed the other way with a cotton bud sticking out of her ear! I sometimes think stafford is like the bar scene in star wars !

A largely free running M6 up to M62, and back again.

I'm calling shenanigans!

 

[Gramaisc]

..a breakdown truck that had been called out to fix a rigid lorry that had shed a tyre, but had then broken down and was being towed by the lorry that it had fixed...

..unfortunately, I had no camera with me..

That one can have a cold meat buffet with Paul Gascoigne for £385 but no owls

I bet that sentence has never been written before

That the owls in Brum are up for auction.

Start price £5k!

...some really red apples - in fact, stupidly red - if you made artificial apples this colour, you would only sell them to circus clowns.

I thought somebody had hung snooker balls in the tree as a joke.

 

[Lucy]

Was that near Goosemoor? I saw a similar, if not the same, tree recently.

No - the location must be kept a closely-guarded secret.
