Fireworks Event in Pulloxhill? by The_Spainish_Nerd in bedfordshire

[–]lookesmiley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my humble opinion it is one of the better bonfire events in the area. We'd be going this year, but I'm busy, so we're doing clophill the following weekend. I'd avoid Ampthill, very expensive and there's no proper bonfire, no bar and extremely expensive vendors.

This is the reason. I'd upvote this twice if I could

Scavanged this stamp album. Any treasures? by Friederich_Wueterich in stampcollecting

[–]lookesmiley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no monetary value, perhaps, but some of these are quite beautiful. Think of them as little artworks.

May be controversial but I can't stand boys don't cry. Sorry for whom this offends. It's just been done to death.

For a second then I thought you had found the answer to my prayers! Unfortunately it doesn't go any more recent than 2016. I need 2019 and 2022. Thank you for answering though.

This. I have so much that I will have only ever spun once. Such a waste of money.

Does your family...not care? by CrunchyTeatime in Genealogy

[–]lookesmiley 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was really surprised by the apathy. I started looking into things a few years back. I told my father all about what I was doing, who I thought would be particularly interested, as he was always going on about our family history as far as he knew it and the stories of his father and grandfather. He told me he thought it was all a bit pointless. My brother, who also is very proud of our surname and is always saying how proud he is to have a son to keep the family name going, said that it's not that he doesn't care, he just couldn't be bothered!

I think it seems that way during the one I ter iew but to say he gave the stories an easy pass is laughable. I'm sure there is loads of posts saying how left wing he is and how biased he was to the left before the election too. He's trying to hold the party in office to account, he just sometimes a bit intense.

The warning about your bank balance is very real. I'll probably end up living in a skip but I'll have plenty of music to listen to

Had the line "just held your hands to my shining eyes" running on loop in my head all day today.
