Earlier this week there were two episodes from a series "The Bombing of Pan Am 103" and tonight it was included in an episode of Repair Shop.

The night PA 103 crashed on Lockerbie was a really difficult night for me as I spent all night trying to establish who the passengers were on board the aeroplane and who their Next-of-Kin were which involved taking calls from friends and relatives of the victims.

I have written a document of my experience of that night, if anybody would be interested to read it just let me know. I would need to create a new post for it, due to the length.

My original is in the Special Collections Research Center, Syracuse University Libraries in New York.

Not cats and dogs! What are your pet hates?

Most of you can ignore this. But do comment if you have any ideas!! I joined the group and may have even replied to 1-2 posts initially. But now it will neither let me comment nor even react. It says I must join first, despite there being an option on the left in case I want to leave the group.🙄 We are trying to work our what`s going on. To that end I`m seeing if I can submit a post

The Dark Web may be known for drug dealers and other nasty activities, but it is also the home to the BBC, Facebook, CIA and whistle blowers. It enables people all over the world to access information that they may be blocked from seeing on the ordinary web. This requires a special browser called Tor which uses special addresses that do not work in ordinary browsers. Below is the BBC website in Chinese, and this is the address: https://www.bbcweb3hytmzhn5d532owbu6oqadra5z3ar726vq5kgwwn6aucdccrad.onion/zhongwen/simp

... what, if anything, would you change?

I looking for some more lawn mower recommendations. I looking for a small cordless one that you are happy with, and that is still available. Thanks.

We went to see a test run of the Vulcan bomber yesterday at Southend Airport. The airport car park fence is right next to the taxi way. If you look towards the end of the video, you can see it pass by very close. If you go to 2 hrs, you can see the test run.

So my hair has gone blond ( grey ) , my eyebrows have a few grey hairs too ( covered up) and there is some grey hair elsewhere. However my eyelashes are jet black still. Does everyone keep the original colour of their eyelashes or have any of you got grey/ white ones?
Men or women can look and let me know please, it’s been bothering me for at least 3 hours. 😃

In light of racist posts/comments, personal insults and trolling etc., in the Anything loop, all of which have not been dealt with by the moderator, this chat loop has been set up with the cooperation of Scooploop who are aware of what is happening. Please do not bring any grievances with members into this loop.

'Good heavens, my great grandfather was a ....!', but if your dad is not your dad, or your mum is not your mum, then the whole history is not true. With the advent of DNA tests, people are finding this to be so. For some interesting examples, listen to the 'The Gift' on BBC Sounds.

How about you?

Hopefully, before the end of the month, Scooploop will be updated to improve speed and have some bugs fixed. There will also be some alterations to the website.

This is a tax that’s completely unfair. As members may be aware, I’m in the process of moving (downsizing) house. The young couple who have bought my house STC are first time buyers which means the won’t have to pay any stamp duty. I, on the other hand will have a hefty stamp duty to pay following signing of contracts in my new house. I think, anyone that is downsizing, and leaving a bigger house for young families should at least have to pay a ‘reduced rate’ stamp duty. I’m sure I’m not alone in my thinking am I?

A married couple were fast asleep in Hampton court when the phone suddenly rang at 3 AM. The wife groggily picked up, listened for a moment, then snapped, “How should I know? We’re 200 miles from the ocean!” before slamming the phone down.

Her husband, now awake, mumbled, “Who was that?”

Still half-asleep, the wife grumbled, “No idea. Some idiot asking if the coast was clear.”

Let's hope it works!

I’m in the process of moving to Ashingdon. Anyone live nearby? My wife has joined the local Facebook group.

My husband has shingles but had a vaccination a few years ago, anyone know the frequency needed for the jab?

Very interesting listening!

... psychology says you likely have these 8 distinct traits.

Late at night, you’re about to settle in.

You know you locked the front door when you came in.

But something compels you to get up and jiggle the knob one more time—just to be sure.

I’ve been in that situation, too.

I’ll catch myself walking back to the door, even though I remember hearing the click.

This small moment of caution can say a lot about who we are and how we move through life.

There’s nothing wrong with double-checking.

@Moderator You must have friends in high places!; I thought it was impossible to start a new loop. Suggest you let members know about the loop in the Workshop and IT loops.

Thank you very much for my invitation to join this group. 👍
