Why isn't razzle on the homepage?

I'd like to say that I'm feeling horny this morning.

We're having a heatwave, a tropical heatwave, as Marilyn Monroe sang the Irving Berlin song more than 60 years ago in the 1954 film "There's No Business Like Show Business" (which also starred the one and only Ethel Merman, Donald O'Connor, Mitzi Gaynor, Dan Dailey and Johnnie Ray) and to quote Cole Porter too, Its Too Darn Hot. Yesterday at 3 p.m. it reached 36.7C at Heathrow Airport which by my reckoning is 102F, the hottest its EVER been in the UK although we came very close to that in 2003. But even the long hot summer of 1976 didn't see temps get this high. Roads and pavements melted in the heat and there were reports of ambulance call-outs having more than trebled yesterday as people fainted all over the place. Good job the paramedics managed to stay alert. I don't like the cold but at the same time this extreme heat is unbearable. Train services up and down the country were disrupted too. I'm supposed to be going on another rail tour this Saturday, let's hope the rails haven't buckled and the tour doesn't get cancelled.

Today is July 1st and it is Canada Day.

Happy Canada Day to our neighbors, our friends. Enjoy your celebration and be safe! Their country is as every bit as beautiful as their national anthem, O Canada!

O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land, glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee;
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada! Where pines and maples grow,
Great prairies spread and Lordly rivers flow!
How dear to us thy broad domain,
From East to Western sea!
The land of hope for all who toil,
The true North strong and free!
God keep our land, glorious and free.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!

O Canada! Beneath thy shining skies,
May Stalwart sons, and gentle maidens rise.
To keep thee steadfast thro' the years,
From East to Western sea.
Our own beloved native land,
Our true North strong and free!
God keep our land, glorious and free.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!

The oddest thing, I attempted to comment on a member's picture and received the following message;

Sorry, this member accepts comments from friends only. Contact him/her via private chat and try to become a friend.

The I tried to send him a private message and received the following;

Sorry, this member accepts comments from friends only. Contact him/her via private chat and try to become a friend.

Really? So I thought I would post a quick message on their wall and received this;

Sorry, this member accepts comments from friends only. Contact him/her via private chat and try to become a friend.

I guess he member relies upon his friends for all the comments that he wants!

I was rippin'-n-runnin' after work tonight and decided to buy dinner to take home. I stopped at Panera Bread and ordered a Greek salad, yummy, right? The salad was presented to me in a cardboard box. Really? The cost was $ 7.79 plus tax, plus tip and they send you home with a cardboard box with salad in it? Their salad was really good, romaine lettuce, kalamata olives,the right amount of red onions, tomatoes that tasted like tomatoes, it would have been better if it had beets on it......

Isn't it a bit pretentious for any member to send private messages to "non friends" when they, themselves, have their settings that they will accept private messages from "friends only"? It's time to come down off your horse and drink your milk!

Greetings UK Friends! I have a question for you. When I was growing up years ago, I remember at the Scottish picnics and Scottish fairs here in the US, getting these toffee like candies in a paper roll, similar to Menthos. They were in a shape of a Rolo and were a semi soft toffee type candy. They came in regular toffee flavor, butterscotch, mint, dark chocolate, etc. They were supposed to have been either made in Scotland or England or somewhere in the UK. I was wondering if anyone knew if they still were being made. And maybe where to order some on the internet. I can look for them myself on the internet, but it would be helpful to know if they exist, before I start the hunt. Hopefully someone knows what the heck I'm talking about.
