🐶 Pets Corner 🐱
The online community team have decided we need more pictures of pets around here. They always make everyone smile so why not share them 😊 I'll start with my 2 very season-appropriate black cats, Princess Carolyn and Duchess Fuzzyface!

KaleidoScope: Our own gallery for members' art work, crafts and photographs.
Many of us find refuge and relaxation in creativity. My hope is that this will be a space where members can share photographs of things that are important to them - of paintings, models, knitting, embroidery, crochet, lego models, calligraphy, photographs or whatever you can put a name to. It is here for us to share and to…

Winter Olympics 2026 🏅
I'm not usually much of a sports person, but I found myself drawn into the Slalom Snowboarding yesterday and I couldn't stop watching! The speed and precision of the athletes was very cool to watch. I've also been seeing memes and clips on social media of how they prepare the ice for curling. There's a short (non meme!)…

What should be a Winter Olympics sport but isn't?
Some of us at Scope have been watching the Winter Olympics for the last few days and realised that some of the sports could be more exciting with a couple of rule changes. So, what sport (real or imagined) should be a Winter Olympics sport but isn't at the moment? I submit to you: The Penguin Slide Relay where teams wear…

Hi! Now tell me something embarrassing!
Good morning all, My name's Carl, I'm new to the forum (but not new to Scope!). I could tell you all about my pets or my hobbies, but I thought the best way to introduce myself to you all is by sharing a story about one of the most embarrassing thing that's happened to me… To cut a long story short: It's the first time…

Without looking it up, do you know what it is and have you ever played? Clue: It was apparently once played widely in pubs across England’s South Yorkshire

laughing at inappropriate times
Does anyone else do this?? I have my whole life. I remember being in assemblies as a kid and they're be on serious topics and I'd get the giggles, or on school trips to sad places and stuff and it's gotten worse as I've aged 😅 Anyone else?? To clarify, I don't find the actual event or whatever funny, I think it's the…

Share your favourite liminal space pictures here
I'm guessing maybe there's not many people here who're into liminal spaces or even know what they are, so this topic might just fall flat on it's ass. But anyway for anyone who doesn't know what liminal spaces are they're surreal, often empty places where something just feels 'off', they may also have some sort of…

What's the last thing you ate?
I'm sure we've had what's for breakfast, what's for lunch and what's for dinner before. But since some of those discussions have fallen inactive, let's combine them all and include everything in between! So tell me, what was the last thing you ate? For me, it's a Rennie antacid 😂 sad as that is! Before that, it was an…

Am I alone?!??

What are you listening to right now?
Are you listening to any music, TV, or podcasts as you go about your day? I'm doing a music project at the moment so I'm listening to a lot of ambient game and film soundtracks while I work. Not usually what I listen to but it's quite relaxing! What are you listening to?

If you could pick a mythical creature to be real, which one would you pick?
I'm talking your bigfoots, unicorns, dragons, perhaps the Loch Ness Monster. Anything from folklore or mythology too. Which mythical creature would you be most excited to see if it was a real thing? Nessie would be definitely be somewhere near the top for me. I'd love to say Pegasus but it would have to be only one. I…

A poem called cloudy skies
A poem called cloudy skies It means that it is dry, and cloudy skies. There is no surprise in those cloudy skies, as we look out of our windows it leaves us feeling motivated to go and do things we need to do. This is how our foe those cloudy skies make us feel. But we deal with whatever comes our way, and that's all I…

Would you want to live on another planet?
I was having this conversation with my housemate this morning and thought it would be interesting to see what you all think! If you had the option to live in space or on another planet, would you go? I'm becoming a bit of an earth-child in my old age, and I think I'd firmly want to stay here even if there was another…
