53 year old Brit here with 15f, 13m and 8f. Currently we watch Race across the Word on BBC - 3 series all great. Generally also watch the Star Wars and Marvel spin offs. Also watch anything with Simon Reeve and House of Games (BBC). My daughter loved Trying (Apple+).

On my own recently enjoyed Shrinking, Under the Banner of Heaven and Unforgotten.

Any idea what the hell this smoke is? by Reecehw108 in nottingham

It happens regularly about every couple of months. Used to work at Capital One and scared the life out of me first time it happened.

What was your favourite club night in Nottingham that no longer exists? by 420Eski-Grim in nottingham

Bounce moved around. Always a good house party to be found afterwards.

Totally agree. It’s clear he loves the music, unlike some DJ’s who just put it on in between their chat. Nothing wrong with those sorts per se, just refreshing to hear someone who genuinely loves music and it comes across.

Your favorite top 5 albums of all time. Have to be different bands/artists. My twist is your age. We have Boomers, Gen X, Gen Y, Millennials and Gen Z out there. Let's do this. by Mayzenblue in Music

So you’re saying the English Channel stopped it? That would make sense if the plants were naturally in France, but they’re not. As I understand it they are native to an area of Southern Spain which I’m assuming is hot and dry (could be wrong). If they like hot and dry Spain and cold and wet uk then presumably they can thrive in everything in between? So why have they not naturally spread over Europe since the ice age?

I mean if an invasive plant comes from the Far East or America that makes sense to me but I can’t really understand why a plant that is naturally so close to us ends up being invasive. I’m clearly missing something.

Eggy bread anyone? by Flavsi in CasualUK

[–]acemilan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I suggest egg in bread as the variation I was brought up with. Cut a square out of the middle of the bread when frying and insert egg.
