The inventor of tongue twisters was found guilty of fraud today. He is expected to get a tough sentence.

And I like this one best. 50km northeast of Budapest https://www.escape.com.au/news/funny-road-signs-from-around-the-world/news-story/a79c5b5e7637dd5bc3ddad63ace2823e

Some amusing road signs from The Sun:

#16,490 A pirate walks into a bar. He's got the whole pirate look down. He's got the peg leg, the hook hand, an eyepatch and the hat all going on. The bartender takes all of this in, impressed. There's just one odd thing and he just has to ask. "So Mr. Pirate, your look is pretty cool. I gotta ask though, what's with the chocolate wrapper on your hat?" The pirate replied, "Arrrrgh, I've a Bounty on me head!

Farmers Markets are still popoular

Interestingly, in this town, the Saturday Market still thrives. The market traders do an enormous amount of selling. But the shops, as in the type of stores mentioned by Sword, not so.

The delay suited me perfectly as I managed to log on just a few lots ahead of the one I wanted. I should have missed it really. There was no sound though which was a pain. I can't get used to the extortionate charges though. Why do we put up with it. My local auction house do not charge ANY buyers premium. Which is fine if all you want is a few modern Royal Mint proof sets and a second hand fridge freezer.

No Mike, too much for me just at the moment, but you never know just like an 11 bus another may come along quite soon.

No worries - stick at it and you will be an expert. Just takes a bit of time, patience and study.

Thank you for also pointing this out to me. I now see why. I have a long way to go 😳

I saw Alistair Campbell on a ABC program called Q&A which is a current affairs program with the panel and audience stacked against some hapless right wing politician who is stupid enough to appear on the program. Much of the content is focused on climate change. In this case Campbell was attacking Brexit , the world's about to end , economic ruin, the electorate are stupid etc. etc. without any justification for his views.

As you say, insulting. Not to mention supercilious and breathtakingly condescending.

If Alastair Campell doesn't want to accept the Brexit 50p, then it is simply his choice and he is not bothering anyone. However, I do find the statement "it should be boycotted by all literate people" somewhat insulting. It implies that you are not really literate if you don't agree with using the "oxford comma". I am rather inclined to think that the majority of "literate" people believe that the "oxford comma" is optional in this situation. It's like saying to someone that they should never wear a blue suit to an interview and grey must be colour. It comes across as opinionated and rather out of touch.
