Stop it. You start going way too far. The debate in the NY concert thread was about Amy Schumers personal comments and if it was clever idea to have her as judge on stage. You (and some others) derailed the topic and people told you there is a separate thread for this (political) topic. People did not share their personal view on the Israeli/Hamas war. It was about Amy Schumers stance and that Madonna should not be dragged into or held accountable for what Amy Schumer said or did. You act like Madonna endorsed Amy Schumers message and as if forum members here did as well. Which is not the case. Now you move here and call forum members cunts and racists although you clearly stated in the NY thread that you are not calling anyone names.
I understand people are angry about the situation. But from my view you have taken an extreme position. Your whole communication in recent weeks sounds like the worst MAGA or Qanon people. Especially your constant claim that news are not reporting about the "real" situation in Gaza. Such claim makes my alarm bells ring loudly because this is exactly the narrative of every conspiracy "theorist". "Official" news, mass media is fake and the only "real" news is to be found on Telegram, Twitter etc.. Even more shocking to me, you are a journalist. You should know better. And I remember that your position used to be a completely different one. I wonder what happened to you that you have made a 180.
Thank you.

A 300-year-old landmark tree, which famously featured in Robin Hood has been felled overnight in a 'malicious act of vandalism'.
The Sycamore Gap, along Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland, is one of the UK's most photographed trees and featured in the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves starring Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman.
But it was found chopped down with its upper section lying across the historic Roman barrier.
Walkers noticed how part of the tree appeared to have been marked with white paint, indicating someone may have felled it with a chainsaw.
It has sparked claims that the tree was vandalised by a 'professional' and the park authority believes it was deliberately chopped down out of spite by vandals or someone with a grudge.
Alison Hawkins, who lives close by was one of the first on the scene, posting a picture on Facebook with the caption: 'An awful moment for all walking Hadrian's Wall. The Sycamore Gap tree has gone! Not the storm, an absolute ******* felled it!!'
Ms Hawkins, who was on her fourth day of walking Hadrian's Wall, said she was 'tearful' when she discovered the tree had been cut down.
She said: 'At first we thought it was because of the storm but then we saw a national park ranger.
'He said it had been cut down and there was paint around the cut section, so it was a professional who knew where they were going to cut.
'It was a huge shock. It's basically the iconic picture that everyone wants to see. You can forgive nature doing it but you can't forgive that.'
Update: A 60 year old man and 16 year old boy have since been arrested. More to come...

Mine's about the same as yours @pieciolot
and as if that wasn't enough the cost of food keeps increasing every time I do my weekly shop. It's disgraceful.

Bitch, you should foresee this the moment you decided to leave the royal family, relieve from any royal duties and live like a commoner.
Exactly.

A teenager fell to his death while riding an Orlando-area drop tower attraction, according to officials with the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
Several law enforcement officers, firefighters, and paramedics responded to ICON Park in Orlando, Florida late Thursday evening after a 911 caller reported the incident at the popular tourist attraction on International Drive.
Witnesses on the scene told deputies that someone had fallen off the Orlando Free Fall ride, which opened in December 2021.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office later confirmed that a 14-year-old boy was transported to the hospital, where he died from his injuries.
The ride will remain closed during the investigation.

This is horrible.
That poor boy, and only 14 too.

This is appalling. You'd have to be deranged to do something like that.
Poor woman.

I remember your reaction to that video xx
Bontempellli saw some kangaroos recently while we were walking and was fascinated ! The kangaroos stand up and stare before hopping away. I love our marsupials, just hate our snakes
Love Kangaroo's but they're unpredictable. I saw a YT clip of one chasing and trying to kick / box a man.
I don't like Snakes either, never have. I bet you're super protective of Bont after what happened with Aker (bless him).

Aww, Janelle, I adore Koala bears. I just want to scoop them up and cuddle them.
I still remember that clip you posted a while back of one being bullied out of a tree. Upset me so much. Poor thing. xxx

I feel better today!
There's no second one. Janssen is only one dose.
I feel incredibly privileged for having my vaccine. I hope the production goes faster and faster and all population is vaccinated! Yesterday I read that there's been more deaths of corona in 2021 than in 2020!
I didn't know that, but that's even better. At least you won't be worrying about the second one now you've had it.
More deaths in 2021 than 2020. Wow, I thought we were slowly getting there, but that's awful.

I feel today very lousy. And my mind works very slowly.
Imagine my IQ goes down even lower? I would be called the Squeaky Spico.
Oh no. Sorry to hear about that. Hopefully you'll be feeling better by now, but you shouldn't have any symptoms with the second one.
-
Had my second vaccination a few weeks ago and had no symptoms whatsoever, unlike the first time. Yay.
@karbatal Good to see you've had it. How did you go?
-
How anyone can do this to another human being is disgusting, but doing this to your own Mother is 10x worse.

How are you feeling now @jonski43 I hope you're ok.

Waiting for vaccines
I’m waiting
Can’t you see I’m waiting for vaccines
Don’t break my trust
I hope #soon. I could register for it but still am not eligible to get it now because of the short supply.
Glad you are feeling better!!It's really shitty that there's a short supply, but I hope you won't be waiting too long and don't suffer from the side effects.
The only reason I got it at this stage is because I'm a severe Asthmatic - I'm still nervous about getting the second dose but at least Jonski has eased my mind about people being more likely to get side effects from AZ after first dose.
The Waiting reference.

Oh no I hope you are feeling better. Which vaccine did you get?
Thanks. I received the Astrazeneca vaccine and I'm pleased to say I'm back to normal now.
Did you get the vaccine yet?

I'm not sure about anyone else but I had mine yesterday and I can honestly say I have never been so ill in a long time.
Started off with an ache where it was administered, followed by full body aches, cold sweats and a thumping headache 6-7 hours later. I also had a series of temperature changes going from freezing to hot within minutes. It certainly wasn't a "slight fever". Still have a slight headache 12 hours later, and I have to get the second dose in two weeks time, but I'm kind of dreading it. lol

Pathetic.

7 months on and they still haven't found the culprit(s).
Meanwhile, The National Trust Plant Conservation is cultivating and taking special care of the saplings taken from the scene at the time...
