Dutch musician Max Werner has passed away, aged 70. He was the drummer for Kayak. He then had a solo hit called "Rain in May" in the 80s.
People seem to get kicks from believing in all manner of nonsensical stuff.
Stuff like all vaccines are bad for everyone, impregnating us all with microchips and/or doing more damage to recipients than Covid, flu, MMR, etc, 5G masts cause Covid and/or spy on us, electric vehicles spy on and track every move their drivers and passengers make (what about smartphones which could in practice have similar capabilities of intelligence, but we never seem to bat an eyelid over those), the dangers of passive smoking are a myth, climate change is all made-up BS by the powers that be to 'control' our lifestyles, yadda yadda yadda!
And sadly many vulnerable and impressionable individuals are still being brainwashed by these brain-dead sad cases, despite superior evidence to the contrary in almost all of such matters.
But strangely not many people seem to believe in the phenomenon known as 'geopathic stress', which I have covered in other threads on here and fellow FMs have seemingly drawn a blank to.
There’s A Word For This...
comprising four letters. In fact, now I come to think of it, there are are lots of words which could describe this anathema (fifty bonus points, please).
‘This week, for the first time in its 75-plus year history, a new "collaborative" version of Scrabble was launched in an attempt to entice Generation Z players to the traditional word-making game.’

Maybe Gen Zedders have an aversion to real Scrabble because they’re likely to get lost for words when words fail them....
No Pain, No Gain....
Using cash not only makes you smart but can save you a fortune!
‘A study found that people experience 20 per cent more physcological pain when they pay with notes and coins [so...] People should pay with cash if they want to make smarter economic decisions and save money ...’

And, as several large retailers who ‘prefer’ plastic and electronic payments have found to their cost recently, when the chips are down it’s on the cards there’ll be the devil to pay....
Love Me, Love My Dog….
But children? Pffft!
‘… a pub sign which welcomed dogs but not children.’

I remember when my local pubs were full of adults, quietly drinking, smoking, playing dominoes and darts, reading the paper and doing crosswords, getting into arguments and starting fights… in fact, generally enjoying themselves. Then things began to change…. First it was juke boxes full of pap music, then it was television showing sport, and around that same time came the maniacal beeping gaming machines, then – to cap it all – smoking was banned…. Now, and this seems really weird given all those improvements, those pubs have closed down.
But what about the Global Financial Crisis that (incidentally) started soon after the smoking ban came into force, coupled with the longer term 'elephant in the room'; that is booze being obtainable much cheaper from supermarkets, etc, and various other factors that haven't been covered above that have also contributed to the demise of many pubs and clubs over the past 20 years or more?
Goin’ Like Smoke!…
Is this the fastest way to create an illegal cigarette-smoking sub-culture (or should that be a stub-culture?)?
‘It means that people born in or after 2009 will never be able to legally buy cigarettes, leading to an effective ban.’
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-68825322
Maybe this new illegality could be referred to as the Peter Pan law…. All those born after 2009 will, forever and ever in the eyes of the law, be treated as children (and never, ever welcome in that bloke’s dog-loving pub) ….
