The Hitchhiker's Guide is disappointing - it should just say "DON'T PANIC" on the front.

I'm so traditional - coffee and cigarettes have been my staple since 1980.

No big deal. I just wasn't sure if it was a problem with the tab or a problem with me. As long as there's an escape route, it's all good.

@Raptorpat I don't know if it's just my boomer phone skills, but when I clicked on the garden tab accidentally, I found that there's no tab back to noise or home; the tab at the top of the garden page leads back to the garden. It occurred to me to use the back key (although I'm not going to say how long it took) which got me back to where I'd been, and I haven't tried it on the computer yet, but this might bear looking at (although I'm willing to concede that maybe I'm too old to be allowed on the internet.) Thanks.

Found it ! Happy Birdday, Bernie!

There was a lot of speculation that she was going to wait for William to come of age and then name him as heir, but again, nothing official was ever released.

I remember there being a lot of speculation about it when Diana died, and for a few years after, but apparently that's all it was.

How much of it was her, and how much was the Canadian parliament? The Canadians have been shitting on the First Nations for just as long and hard as we've been shitting on our own Natives.

Yeah, I'm not sure how long it's been since the royals have actually had a function beyond "tourist attraction"

We need a "hmmm" reaction 🤔

Actually, the medical term is "TMB" (Too many birthdays)

Well, Henry VIII got to keep it, and he chopped the heads off of 2 of his, and divorced how many more?

When you're that age, being able to die when you've still got your wits about you is a blessing.

And who would begrudge clicks to lovely spaces full of growing plants?

That seems better. And we can all agree that gardens are good.

Meh. Someday, you'll be old and intolerant, too😝

I would appreciate it, thank you.

I do not like the new format. It is inconvenient and interrupts the visual flow. There is already a section for clubs, and I don't understand why this redundancy is necessary.

(Angela Lansbury, Dick Van Dyke, and Mel Brooks polish their swords...there can be only one.)

"I believe it is peace for our time..." (Neville Chamberlain)

Blah blah blah not the score, blah blah blah friends we make along the way blah blah. Edit to add: this is annoying. If you're going to give me a link, please make it a link to the actual board, not the "what's new." I require context.

It's fun, but depressing at the same time - I remember watching these (religiously) on Saturday mornings.

RIP Kiwi farms. RIP free speech on the internet.

Every now and again, it occurs to me that if I'd kept off all the weight I've ever lost, I'd be antimatter now.

He also had his own thread - I think the title refered to him as "The Homer Simpson of Presidents" or words to that effect.
