Re: Is this a conspiracy?
I'm only a libertarian mate, harmless honest.:)
Maybe my first post was a bit direct. No offence was intended. Such is life these days, everyone seems to be ducking and weaving, the world is just...

Re: Is this a conspiracy?

Re: Is this a conspiracy?
I notice stuff ;) but i'm not particularly articulate. I'm sure you get my drift. People out there are not less intelligent than you, they may simply have different solutions.

Re: Open your door to Trick or Treat?
Well I've never 'wassailed' but i'd be reluctant to deny it its 'tradition' status. Children begging for goodies at halloween has it's origins in souling and guising, themselves based on older...

Re: Open your door to Trick or Treat?
This place reads just like CNN. The tradition is centuries old and is British and Irish. Other cultures do it too, i quite like the sugar skulls of Mexico. Only the actual words "trick or treat" are...

Re: Odd clouds
Definitely not a lenticular cloud. It's a Fallstreak Hole, caused by a mixture of supercooled water and ice. I saw a good one above Cumbria many years ago and a smaller one since. They are quite rare.
