Maybe you and BIossomtoes should have a wasp-off?

😂

I'd rather save my energy to counter the real enemies. This is not the time for infighting.

I miss the reaction. Maybe someone could come round and paint it badly on my garden wall?

Blossomtoes. Really?

This thread got a lovely Friday feeling, wasps and all

I see the recently released prisoner has been interviewed already and apparently there is a possibility of her meeting the Trump administration.
disclaimer I haven’t watched the interview but that was Wootons tweet.

Well well well! Who would have thought it!

Dead wasp killed by a spider. I watched the whole thing. Grim yet gripping.

You'd have thought that she would have wanted to spend some time with her daughter. @ThatbloodyRoblox

As a teen I cycled 20 miles each way to view some medieval wall paintings. I was a bit of a nerd 😄

You can't keep me out of an old church (growing up in Harrow. helped).

Odd for an atheist 😀

Ah.caught up & see it was already posted! It looks like you’ve all had a lively afternoon!

I saw one of those last year. I am ridiculously terrified of wasps ( think no open windows, no pub gardens just in case I see one) BUT I was completely mesmerised watching the spider wrap the wasp.
I now don’t dust cobwebs 😀

I do wonder if; as flags go up, domestic violence goes down ?

Incidentally, how come I have only just learned that the feast of St, George is Palestinian ? Has anyone told the police ?

Evening all. I've found you. Thanks for the new thread @DuncinToffee Sleepy Cat tax attached.

I just watched a fair bit of it. Wow.

First of all, I thought OK. This person actually seems articulate, intelligent and actually pleasant enough.

But then as interview plays out, that impression changes. In a nutshell, it was like listening to some of the frothier far-right wingers on MN. Two tier justice. Political prisoner. Badly advised. Race baiters on Twitter. Lefties can say what they want etc.

I wouldn't like to be alone in a lift with her.

I was Keir Starmer's political prisoner:

I so didn’t want to give this interview any clicks but I feel I may have to watch it now.

The idea that somehow she’s being made out to be a hero/martyr sickens me to the core. She’s a nasty, ignorant racist. End. Of.

I didn't quite make it to the end, because Wooton make me feel sick, but it is worth watching.

She totally believes it herself IMHO.

In cat 🐈‍⬛ tax news we are looking to adopt a cat. Has anybody used pet rehomer? We have seen a cat that we think would suit us. ( my son has fell in love )
I have looked at our local rescue cats and they all seem older cats - with some health issues or new kittens. I was hoping for a bonded pair but my son really wants a lap cat.

I mean she believes she is a hero/martyr, not that she believes she is a racist.

@ThatbloodyRoblox maybe ask on the litter tray?
