    I dress like this every weekend at Son Serra. The place is full of worshippers every Sunday giving our thanks to the Sun God, and there is oñe here in Mallorca. Just think 20 days of wall to wall sunshine in December alone.

    Stop it. I miss living in Spain, on the Costa Blanca, waking up to a clear blue sky day after day. Mmmmmm watching the world go by with an ice cold beer :emoticon-0167-beer:.
    I loved being able, some years, to walk along the sea front on Christmas Day, in shirtsleeves.
    This is why I am getting so worked up over the election/Brexit as my future plans to return there for retirement will no longer be an option to me, if the wrong party rules. :emoticon-0106-cryin

    He takes a 2 hour flight to the UK to give you around 48 hours of December sunshine. Like the rest of us he needs his Christmas break.

    When my dad was ill, we rubbed his back with lard. After that he went down hill very quickly.

    A three-legged dog walks into a saloon in the Old West. He slides up to the bar and announces: ''I'm looking for the man who shot my paw.''

    Tongue between cheeks? Or head up a dark and musty place, no sunshine. Being a cynical old crusty my first thought is spoof.

    11,000 scientists sign a letter pleading for the world to listen to the climate data. They talk of "untold suffering" if changes aren't made to make our lifestyles sustainable and to keep global temperature increases to 1.5°C by 2030.

    Having a science background, I know that these people know what they're talking about. They are educated and trained in their subject. So they know better than anyone else. Time to listen.

    Or you could be a f****** idiot like President Trump and officially pull the USA out of the Paris Agreement. Probably never again will the importance of a Presidential election be so vital to the climate. Trump HAS to go in 2020, if not sooner.

    I cleared my Goodle history so when I checked the forum I was not logged in so had to put up with adverts until I logged in again. The Adverts were pretty girls advertising lingerie. If that's the type of adverts this forum attracts I will have to log out more often

    Just booked a weekend away at the end of the month to Stockholm, one of my absolute favourite cities. Haven’t been there for 25 years since I worked there, so will be very interested to see how much it’s changed!
