More decades ago than I care to remember I went out with a girl from Horsham. She described it as "the place that people living in the pits call the pits".
I suspect that many don't actually know what the speed limit is for the stretch of road they're on and, when they see a speed camera, they panic and hit the brakes.
Yes we get that here too really frustrating
My ex wife has friends who’s surname is Green. They’ve called their son Gilbert.Exactly. I know a family who's kids, 10- 12 years of age..are named after biblical characters. I Googled them.
Jedediah. A Hebrew name derived from Yedidyah meaning 'friend of God' It was the second name, given by God, to the prophet Nathan to pass on to King David and Bethsheba for their second son, Solomon.
Jeshurun Another Hebrew name. Jeshurun is a poetic name for Israel used for the Tanakh (All 24 Books of the Hebrew Bible which include the Torah.. the five books of Moses) It's believed that the roots of it come from ..upright, just or straight. That's putting a bit of a moral burden on the lad isn't it......lol There's a couple of other suggested alternative sources one being a diminutive form of the name 'Isreael' the other..'to see' My guess is the first one.
Josiah. He was the 16th king of Judah who, according to the Hebrew Bible, instituted major religious reforms.He is is credited by most biblical scholars with having established or compiled important Hebrew scriptures during the "Deuteronomic reform" which probably occurred during his rule. He was born in Jerusalem in 648 BC and died in 609BC..so only 39.
I'm not usually given to swearing but.... ffs !
Just as an aside, there's a difference between the Christian Bible (Old Testament) and the Jewish Hebrew Bible. Tanakh. As the Jewish scholar Moshe Goshen-Gottstein put it, where Christians see the Bible as a story about God, humanity and salvation, Jews read it as being about God, people and land and all about God's call to Abraham to become the leader of a great nation..Canaan, later named Israel after Abraham's grandson. There's no grand narrative and certainly no coming of Jesus. Adam and Eve, for the Jews, is a minor theme. Their God is YHWH the biblical pronunciation is Yahweh and the Christian God is..er.. well 'God' . So.. the reason I outline this difference is that what perplexes me is that this family are practicing Christians. I must ask one day..The last time I spoke to the mum she said her friend was "studying the relationship between God and animals" Really ? I was very tempted to say "Well that shouldn't long, then" but my wife has made me promise to keep schtum which I find quite stressful.
So not only has the poor b****r got to put up with a terrible old fashioned first name, he’s also apparently named after a piece of snot. The parents claimed they just thought it was nice having an alliterative name and didn’t realise what it meant. The lad has been calling himself Gil since he was about 10 or 11.
A local guy, a very minor celeb, many years ago , called his son Richard, it even made the local press.
Just googled it, there are loads!
It's difficult to make this out but I hope you can sort of see that it's an imprint of wings on a window. Now again a bird slams into the window and sometimes we get a good impression of the wings but this is from a fly of some sort. It must have smacked into the window at speed as it killed itself and was stuck there, head mashed.
Fair enough, but the house wasn't doing 70mph on the A1 so I'm amazed this creature managed to fly so fast it mashed itself against the window.
I don't know what it was, it looked something like a hover fly but not quite and smaller. Whatever it was it must have been a hard core speed freak.
How odd.
Also they see the reflection of the sky in a window, particularly if its a bright day. If being chased, they see the house, and assume that the sky is there, so they usually climb fast, hitting a solid object hence the "angel wings ghost imprints"
Being mean, I always go for free delivery from Amazon, where available. The baffling thing is, roughly 4 out of 5 times the items arrive the following day!
I joined Prime awhile ago to continue to watch something.
I've had that a few times in the past pre-prime too.The baffling thing is, roughly 4 out of 5 times the items arrive the following day!
I used to do that as well, it's very rare that I'm in that much of a hurry for anything. The main reason I have Prime is for Prime Video plus it gets me a couple of quid a month of Amazon Music.Being mean, I always go for free delivery from Amazon, where available.

This happens a lot with supermarket prices, so it's always worth checking the price per weight. Most times buying bigger packs helps, but I regularly find the opposite and end up buying multiples.£3.20 / Kg or £1.00 / 500g
Tough call that one

Yep sod's law and all that.
Just modifying something, in the woodwork line, no bits left overIt is the bits left over once it has all be put back together that can cause more angst

I doubt that throwing them in the gas boiler would be a good idea
So we had a log burner installed, need to paint the chimney breast to cover the replastering so we decide on a change of colour for the room, best do a little prep work me thinks, you know to do a proper job.
If you are going permanent, No more nails ( the original one) is brilliant.
You've just reminded me of the time I saw an oil filter lying in the middle of the road, followed by a long black streak that petered out after half a mile or so...
