The the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II is predicted to have drawn in over four billion viewers from around the world, making the event the most watched broadcast in history.

We are so very lucky to have lived during the Queen's reign, and our monarchy sets a unique standard.

I'm trying to track down a film which I saw on TV many years ago.
A scientist somehow travels to an alternative earth where world war two never happened, and as a result technology is many years behind that in his world.
While he's trying to get back to his world he falls in love with a woman who has a fatal medical condition which is curable in his world but not in hers.
She dies and makes him promise to find her in his world.
He eventually gets back home and tracks down the woman just in time to save her life.
I think it was based on a John Wyndham story.
Does it ring a bell with anybody?

I haven't so far and wanted to hold out to October but it is chilly indoors, lots of people on FB saying they have put theirs on.
Have any of you ?

As you get older you need to embrace certain things
1 Elasticated trousers. Pure comfort round the mid section
2 A comfy chair. No matter where you are if you find a comfy looking seat plonk your arse down and rest.
3 Farting. As you get older if you fart it's more acceptable whether you are a man or a woman.
4 Talking to yourself. Never tire of telling yourself funny stories to make yourself laugh others will laugh with you.
5. Always accept a free cup of tea or coffee. Never turn it down if offered and if you don't have time ask for the tea bag for later. ( Waste not want not)
6. Always add an odd addition to your dress attire. This will be an icebreaker IE wear a small lettuce or piece of broccoli on your shirt or blouse
7. Never pass a toilet without using it . You don't know when you will get another opportunity.
8. Ask people to get up from a seat on a train or bus even if you are only going one stop. It will give you a warm feeling.
9. Go for a rush hour drive in your car. Deliberately drive slow and cause chaos on the roads
10. Have fun. Whatever it entails even if only you find it funny have fun. You are never too old and it is never to late

Not a happy topic but I have just been reading the very sad twitter posts sent by Molly Russell to various celebrities. She was the teenager who later went on to take her own life. So often it’s extremely difficult for parents to know what to say and do if their children are depressed. This guide seems very helpful.

Had an email from my dentist that my annual check up is due. Clicked on the link to book online expecting to choose a day this week or next. But the earliest free appointment is................... 18 November.

He said as the majority have built up immunity from probably having it without knowing, and the very low chance of having it seriously, an annual Covid booster would be a waste of taxpayers money.
The reason Moderna and Pfizer are pushing for annual boosters is purely for profitable financial gain. AstraZeneca distrubuted their vaccine on a not for profit basis.

Covid is nothng more than a cold.

I think for such an historic event, all shops should be made to close all day, even supermarkets. We are getting plenty of warning, so we can buy our food on Sunday.

Smart tv problem . We have a Samsung curved tv that we are quite happy with . It is around 5 years old but we have just been told that we will no longer be able to watch itv hub after end of Sept This is due to update/licence for certain models ( pre 2015)
We have iPads and phones that all still support the app Is there any way we can stream from another appliance to our tv ( Wi-Fi / hdmi lead or something as don’t really want to throw away a perfectly working tv and spend a fortune on a new one Especially as to buy new we would have to look for a 2022 model so wouldn’t get a sale bargain as the same thing will happen again in a few years . Talk about waste . I know that we could use the tv without the itv hub but it’s mostly how we watch tv due to our lifestyle Please don’t suggest sky / virgin as do t want to pay for something I wouldn’t really use much Any help appreciated Thank you

I watched TV programme and I like their theory. No advertising, no internet selling due to too many returns and handling which in the end is more expensive. They even now looking to save on materials e.g. making some clothes shorter which is good news as I am under 5ft. They say that is how they can sell cheap.
Years ago I only shopped once in Primark -- umbrella as it was raining.
What I would like to know have they improved in quality? Are they catering now for the “very” mature person or is it still buy, wear a few times and throw?

CNN reporter was so disrespectful at Windsor .

He said, "and there's Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan. and also with them are two other royals". Disrespectful American tosser, those two other royals are the more important ones, Prince and Princess of Wales.

Also Christiane Amanpour who used to be a top journalist, droning on about will King Charles deal with colonialism and pay slavery reperations. Because the British people are demanding justice.
Are we? I don't even know who we would pay, as anyone connected to trans atlantic slavery is dead.

Charles I -
Charles I survived the English Civil War, but was imprisoned and put on trial for high treason and sentenced to death by beheading.

Charles I was charged with high treason and “other high crimes against the realm of England.”
The sentence of death was read on January 27; his execution was ordered as a tyrant, traitor, murderer, and public enemy. The sentence was carried out on a scaffold erected outside the banqueting hall of Whitehall on the morning of Tuesday, January 30, 1649. The king went bravely to his death, still claiming that he was “a martyr for the people.” A week later he was buried at Windsor.

Charles II - exiled and pleasure seeking - father of 12 illegitimate children.

I am considering having a small chimney breast removed in my small room. I cannot believe what one has to do for this. I know a steel would be needed (although there is no chimney breast above in this hobbit house, who decides the strength of that. I had a private surveyor here yesterday who spent ages telling me that support for shared chimney stack would have to go under floorboards upstairs until I said why can't there just been a steel where the breast would be taken out. Spent an hour on phone for Council Building Control then gave up and I'm totally confused by Party Wall Agreement which can cost in the £1000+ region. Would anyone know if it is correct that a surveyor photos neighbour's wall prior to work being carried out - but if cracks appear a few years later, who pays to put them right, does the original builder have to come back, do you have to pay to have job redone or how long does the P/wall agreement apply?

I'm semi-prepared for the cost of all this, not sure yet if I can stand the big upheaval but will turn violent if anybody else says to me what are you gaining.
