This is one of the most moving threads I have ever read on this forum. Thank you everyone for sharing your very personal stories. My parents died from uterine cancer and heart disease at 64 and 57...
Thanks for posting this about the SNP activist Willie MacRae. I have been following the whole affair on Exaro News but didn't know about this or had forgotten. I hope his death (probable murder)...
This is a topic that has been discussed ad infinitum here on PA, however, I haven't yet seen any reference to what was an important event in the UK last week. I support an organisation called...
Recently read this in Rolling Stone and thought it would fit in rather well here.

Maria Evrenos left her wallet at home for a week to discover that...
Thanks for posting. I read an article on Mother Jones promoting the extract last week but forgot to follow up. Having watched the Wolf of Wall Street recently yet again I feel nauseated by the...
Thanks so much for posting that. It cheered me up as I have a friend who since watching Prof. A. Bartlett https://youtube.com/watch?v=u5iFESMAU58 has been all gloom and doom. The maths doesn't...
When you harvest wild garlic do you pull up the bulbs and use those, or just the greens?
No I just use the greens and sometimes the white flowers sprinkled onto a salad. I am keen to try...
This is a very uplifting thread to read while waiting for spring - even though the land outside is at best waterlogged and at worst flooded. I live in a flat with a sunny south facing balcony that...
I read the pdf yesterday and found all the extra detail very interesting. The photographs and the more detailed descriptions of the characters' really brought them to life. Incredibly sad to think...
Thanks so much for posting this. I have always been intrigued by the Dyatlov Pass Incident and it is really good to get an up-date. If it was indeed an extra terrestrial visitation it as very...
I have pondered about the pros and cons of the TV licence over the years. They certainly used to make excellent programmes as mentioned above but more recently have gone off. I mean good...
