Tell us some boring news.
There's intrigue in the mundane and so today we're asking you to share: what is something boring you've done lately? Emptied the kitchen bin? Run out of teabags? Bought a clothes airer? Cleaned the oven? Tell us. I'll go: I walked to the shop to post a parcel, but I'd accidentally deleted the digital label they needed to…

Craziest foods you've ever tried
After @Biblioklept What's the craziest individual foods/meals you've had? I've eaten a French cheese called Mimolette or "cannonball cheese". It's very hard and round (hence the nickname) When it's maturing it's covered with thousands of tiny mites which eat holes into the cheese and benefit the aging They are brushed off…

Helping a little friend 🦌
A few weeks ago while driving I saw this standing in the road. Normally they are timid and flee as soon as they sense anything. I think she’d been hit, she stumbled about, and kept trying to hop up the little bank on the right but falling back down … it was pitiful by which I mean the older sense of the word. Then she just…

The great, yearly "Swan Upping"
In my hunt for weird English traditions, I stumbled upon this lovely one that happens every year in July; Swan Upping. No, it's not a group of people seeing how high they can lob a swan, though I do see some amusement in that if they were fake swans. Swan Upping is an annual census of the mute swan population on the Thames…

Trigger warning: Leftist/socialist mumbo jumbo 😱
I keep seeing videos of this musician and really like this clip of one of his songs❤️ (It's only 39 seconds long) The lyrics for anyone that would rather read, but the sound is just so beautiful: "Those billionaires, they're all the same. They'll steal the clouds, and sell the rain. The script is new, but the lies are old.…
