Re: Nature chit chat

Marjoram in flower appears to be like crack cocaine to bees and butterflies. Counted about 25 bees on the plant, and 8 or 9 butterflies most days at the start of last week. Couple of bees even seemed to sleep on it overnight because they weren't moving early in the day, then when the sun came up off...

Re: Cricket - ain't what it used to be.

T20 is positively classical cricket compared to The Hundred.

The England v India Test series has been a good one, 1 all with 2 to play.

We needn't have worried, very comfortable today.

I'd rather tinker with emulation on the Pi or whatever myself, save myself a few bob and have fun with the process, but each to their own.

Re: Chelsea Club thread I

Nervous about the game tomorrow, Arsenal have the wood over Chels in recent times.

In other news the club are having a minutes applause for Sean Locke next home game. As well as being a great comedian he was a regular at Stamford Bridge.

Re: Your favorite website when your bored in work

Reddit, browsing new posts on Popular is certainly an eye opener. Also it's amazing just how many innocent forums, sorry reddits, just end up as girls advertising their only fans.

Twitter for a nice echo chamber and Boards still too, though it's so shit what they've done to the place.

Not particularly high brow but I'm reading Nemesis by Jo Nesbo. Getting through the Harry Hole series and enjoying them.

Re: eBook Bargains

I convert, store and sort all my ebooks on Calibre on my PC. I use it like my own personal e-library catalogue to transfer to my Kindle. It's a brilliant option and it has a portable version that can be tweaked for use on Android phones and tablets. Instructions on Google. Yeah I love Calibre too, ...

Re: eBook Bargains

Plenty of "grey area" (putting it mildly) sites for free ebooks and audio books but I don't want to link sites if it'll cause this new board problems. It'd be great if we could discuss stuff like this more openly than boards though.

Re: Chelsea Club thread I

John Terry has left Villa, seemed pretty popular there, and I think they accepted his proper Chels. ness

Wonder if he'll get a job sooner than his comments suggest, Swansea would seem a good fit.

Re: Will this place take over from Boards?

I've signed up to support this idea, honestly I don't really see it lasting that long, but it's absolutely worth a go. I'd hope boards is salvaged but also looks unlikely unfortunately.

Beat of luck to this place anyhoo.
