That's beautiful. I will steal that if I may That is a cracker!! Mars - will help weight loss (if you don't eat it)

There are enough zombies out there with headphones on. I saw somewhere that they expect people to use these on a cycle commute. Is it only me that thinks it's really unsafe? As a cyclist who's had to try to overtake headphoned ditherers who are wandering all over the road; this can only make it worse surely?

If you tell us you have not received your device, Amazon may share the IMEI number with law enforcement. To help combat fraud, the device may be deactivated. No action is required on your part." I hope it's meaningless.

GregP Apr 2022 3:29pm, 20 Apr 2022 134,625 posts	0 GregP Why doesn’t it just say ‘video games’? I’m intrigued. It all seems faintly sinister.
Nellers Apr 2022 3:47pm, 20 Apr 2022 39,403 posts	0 Nellers It’s some sort of brainwashing tool isn’t it? Turning our kids into mindless zombies. Oh hang on. Too late!

It's still school holidays round here, the weather has been great all week ... but where are the kids? Makes me sad, as I know there are a lot who live round here but I'm guessing they're all on phones/ipads etc instead of being outside annoying the neighbours!
