I have a very close and dear friend in Mosul He has a wife and three children and like most in this country has worked hard to make a living and finally buy a house. I will say no more other than to add the usual amenities did not work 24/7 at least in Mosul. I will say no more about him as I would not like to put his life in danger. I spoke to him a couple of days ago but since then nothing. I am worried but all I can do is wait

Very sad indeed especially at such a young age. RIP and my thoughts go out to his family.

As I have said I do not read “newspapers” at all. If I am around late at night I look at the front pages displayed on Sky News.

This article almost word for word about a months rain in an hour,giant hailstones and violent thunderstorms would hit Bristol on Saturday.This was broadcast on BBC’s local channel “Points West”

Well Saturday produced a loud clap of thunder at 3.16am and a few showers of drizzle in the morning and the rest of the day was sunny and pleasant.

What bugs me is if people took notice of this they might not have going to an event or shopping thus depriving those that needed it of income

Another moan is why do TV weather forecasters rattle on about the day we have just had. Surley the whole nation has not got dementia and forgotten the last 12 hours?

Being retired my wife and I watch Judge Judy, it confirms my thoughts about Americans.

For a British programme I like Drew Prichard and Salvage Hunters.

I wonder if there is any truth in this? To the Taliban its not true without pictures!
