Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

I don't know where we're going, but we know where we are? (Part whatever)

    Cocos Law creates two new offences which criminalise the non-consensual distribution of coco-pops. The first offence deals with the distribution of boxes of coco-pops without consent and with the intent to get the recipient hooked on the chocolatey goodness that only coco-pops can provide, the way you become all happy as you munch, crunch and chew those little chocolate covered Rice Krispie style treats.
    The second offence relates to the way the recipient becomes hooked on the manner in which the coco-pops turn the milk all chocolatey, how you sit there gooey eyed and marvel as the pale coloured milk slowly turns to a bowl of chocolate heaven, captivating you in the process. Now you are hooked on coco-pops and will buy them forever more.
    Cocos law aims to put a stop to this fiasco once and for all!

    This is NOT to be confused with 'cuckoos law', which is a separate law deeming that anyone who owns a cuckoo clock in this day and age is either a very old person or a total nutter.

    Her family knew her as Coco but her name was
    Nicole Fox (aged 21) who died by suicide following years of online bullying.

    Why would anyone disrespect or belittle legislation brought in to counteract online bullying and harassment?

    Nicole's Mum fought tirelessly to help others bringing in the Harassment, Harmful Communications and Related Offences Act 2020, known as Coco’s Law.

    Disgrace of toxic post degrading a family who fought for their daughter.

    Shame on anyone thanking it.

    A young girl died tragically and needlessly because of online bullying.

    I really really don't think any disrespect or belittling was intended. Playing with words and making things light doesn't have to equal disrespect.

    Edited as not intention to backseat Mod.

    I've followed the work Nicole's Mum did in respect of Coco's Law and making light of it while not intentional would be upsetting for her.

    Oh Jesus, I meant Covid! The dreaded C usually means cancer.

    Glad to hear it's just a headcold though.

    Lads, I know a lot of you are animal lovers.. I brought my cat for her annual jabs today. She's very dopey since, no energy, just tends to close her eyes.
    I can't remember this happening before, apart from after being brought home after neutering.
    Anyone see this before?

    Couchside, at my folk's house

    Got all my activities/appointments done today and resting now.

    Unfortunately both of the things I didn't want to happen, actually did happen, but it turned out ok in the end. I asked my personal assistant if we could finish up 10 minutes early which she was ok with, and I asked if the neurology doctor could ring me back when he rang a few minutes early.

    The neurology doctor was pleased to hear my migraines/headaches are less intense/less frequent. He doesn't recommend botox/steroid injections right now but it might be a possibility if they get worse again

    Happy to report that I got the first dose of the vaccine, AZ, today. Very well organized in a clinic near the hospital. Feel fine apart from a sore arm and a sore throat, so far
