Richard chats up Judi on This Is My House
Can't believe some viewers thought he was really chatting her up, when he was clearly demonstrating part of the show. Actually it was more Judi demonstrating how not to react to someone talking to you and how not to burst out laughing.

More wokery. Halifax employees now have name badges with their pronouns. Management have told staff it's voluntary, but it's the nice thing to do. Which is going to mean anyone who just keeps a badge with only their name is not very nice.

Had a phone call regarding my Internet. The caller took the trouble to get through my blocker system despite the time it takes due to my very long rings. Needless to say in the end after a bit of fun he slammed the phone down.
Received an email from Which. Please have a look as they mention they copied nearly perfect BT emails. Stay alert.

Been watching and enjoying swifts every summer, but had very few sightings in KT4 this summer.
Has anyone else noticed a steep decline in these regular visitors?
And the reason[s]?
I'm sorry to say that my life has become too complicated now caring for my wife, I really do not have the time to log on now, there is so much to do and when I do have a break I tend to doze off. I will close my account later as the unread post are now in there 100's. I've enjoyed my time with Scooploop and seen it evolve over the last few years, I hope it continues, I've made some good friends (and a few enemies) when my circumstances change I may well return but time will tell.

New research from Direct Line Motor Insurance reveals Cyprus was the most commonly identified destination for stolen cars out of three UK ports in 2020.
Figures from three ports managed by the National Vehicle Crime Intelligence Service (NaVCIS), Felixstowe, Tilbury and Southampton, found 37 per cent of identified stolen cars were destined for Cyprus.
A fifth (19 per cent) were destined for the Democratic Republic of Congo, while Ghana (11 per cent) and the UAE (six per cent) were other common destinations.
In the first nine months of 2021, £2.96 million worth of stolen vehicles were successfully identified by NaVCIS officers at ports. This is a 112 per cent increase on the value stolen in 2020 (£1.39 million).
The same timeframe saw a 14 per cent increase in the number of stolen vehicles identified at the three ports. In 2020, 63 vehicles were successfully identified as stolen by NaVCIS ports officers, rising to 72 in the first nine months of 2021. This means the average value of vehicles stolen has nearly doubled in less than 12 months, from £22,000 per vehicle in 2020 to £41,000 per vehicle in 2021.
Range Rover were the top car make identified at NaVCIS ports in 2020, making up nearly two fifths (38 per cent) of all stolen cars identified there. Ford (10 per cent), Mercedes, BMW and Land Rover (all at eight per cent) make up the top five.
Insight from convicted car thieves currently serving a custodial sentence suggests that many cars are stolen to order. For example, one convicted car thief said: “People order cars, so you know what you're going out for that night. You go out and get that specific car, van, whatever it is… Half the time I'll already know where there is one, because I know that much, so I can go straight to them”.

Amazon wish list to help rescued cats
Finally put together an Amazon wish list for items needed to help take care of the many rescued cats i look after.
Sadly no idea how to introduce it to Scooploop kind members who might be able to and want to help.

So here we go... Wimbledon starts today. Djokovic plays midday as we have no requirements on mandatory vaccines to enter the country. I Love Wimbledon , always have so game on !
A couple of days ago It was jokingly clarified that Soc is a term of endearment on this site but was wondering if there are any ‘new/modern’ words used nowadays that members may know of!
Here’s a link with all the well known and commonly used ones

What do you call your loved ones?
On Wednesday I needed a new frying pan, so ordered one on the Argos website. I clicked the Next Day Delivery and my first delivery slot was Friday between 7.30am and 9pm. So not next day, but that's not an issue. I get an email from Argos saying my item will be delivered by Yodel and on the morning of the delivery day I will get an email with a 1 hour delivery slot.
Yesterday I am checking my phone from 7am and wondering if every ping is the email from Yodel. I can't go out in case I am getting a morning delivery. Eventually I get the email at 2.45pm telling me the delivery will be between 3pm and 4pm.
What is the point of getting an email about the delivery time only minutes before the actual delivery?
At least with DPD they always email mid morning, so you know if you can go out and come back home in time.
I had no idea there were so many ways of showering but talking to friends it seems we are all different.
1 washes hair in sink before going into the shower
1 never uses soap or body wash but uses shampoo all over
1 leaves shampoo on hair whilst showering and rinses off last
1 showers first and washes hair last.
Me - I shampoo, rinse, conditioner on, shower body rinse conditioner off and rinse body.

How can this even be monitored or detected?
Maybe there will be specialist scuba divers swimming between peoples legs with specialist equipment that can detect warm streams.
Or are the Spanish really just banning people who stand at the waters edge and take a p*ss?
