Might make the cleaning results a little bit more random than required. Possibly could be on the agenda later though

Good morning people ( /cats/apes/wolves/bats/trains etc).
Now I've got transport again, I'm going to pay an old friend and his family a visit, in their tiny little self-built cabin on a patch of woodland a few miles away. Better dig out my wool socks...

Sounds like a cool trip.

Have just got back, as it was only a quick visit. We went for a little walk up to where the peat cuttings are on the moor behind them, then back through a neighbour's land which is a failed trout fishery dotted with large man-made ponds. It's a few miles south of Edinburgh and kind of bleak feeling at this time of year;
Spotted a few deer, another raven and stopped and watched a kestrel for a few minutes. Apparently there are otters around the old fishery and the burn that runs by it, but we didn't see them (I don't spend all my weekends hanging out where the otters are, honest...). Then there was some rather wholesome tea drinking around the stove before heading back into town.

Even more jealous now. That's a proper Sunday IMO. The one thing (or one of two) I miss about living in Hampshire is the proximity of open space. Here in London it takes at least an hour to get to the M25, sometimes double that. Yeah, we have the parks and even Hampstead Heath isn't too far, but it's nowhere near as quiet nor as open as proper countryside. Did you get any pics of the deer?Have just got back, as it was only a quick visit.

I gave up attempting to photograph wildlife a while ago, as I used to keep seeing more of my camera or phone than the animals themselves, and then got terrible shots anyway!

Yeah, video is a much better option for wildlife I think. Unless you're prepared to wait hours for each shot. Animals have a habit of blending into the background, then you end up with a photo equivalent of Where's Wally? whenever you look at it.

That sounds like a fantastic time. I need to get out in nature more, but i never find myself in the mood to have the required drive to get me there.Have just got back, as it was only a quick visit.

Hi :3Hello
Which thread?Don't normally unwatch threads once I've posted in them, but there's an ongoing one I just can't read anymore.

Yeah, i usually avoid the dumpster fires. There’s been an instance or two where I couldn’t help my make a snarky comment but i’m not getting wrapped up in that bs. I have too much going on in my life to waste a moment arguing with some stranger on the internet.Don't normally unwatch threads once I've posted in them, but there's an ongoing one I just can't read anymore.

Hmm, I contributed a little and don't feel great about that. But then I think I might have responded the same to that post from anyone, in any context, as I've annoyed friends and colleagues by doing similar regulary enough.

Certain people get their jollies from trolling others. When their only goal is to either get a reaction out of you and they don’t believe or are not consistent in what they say, that already describes more than a few users on FAF.

I read yours, and you were right to say what you did. The thing is Legacy knows better. It was a bad choice of words that isn't in character for him. He's actually a pretty cool guy, but for some reason in that thread he just lost it.
EDIT : I feel I need to clarify this. In my experience I believe he knows better. I'm not speaking for him, nor would I try and project words onto him.

It's right across the Internet. Has been there since the beginning. I swear it's worse over the past two or three years though.

I need to quit trying to multitask. I just realized what a cluster that sentence turned out to be.
It’s definitely getting worse. People feel empowered with the sense of anonymity. Maybe that anonymity needs go be taken away.

That's easier for some than others though. The anonymity can allow people to express themselves in a way that they would otherwise stifle. I'd rather people were allowed to be themselves in the main. I suppose I think society is just getting angrier and more divided in general, and the Internet is simply reflecting that.
